Seriously, Watch 'The Guild'

Because of the holiday weekend, my Netflix discs of Battlestar Galactica were delayed and USA decided to skip new episodes of Criminal Intent and In Plain Sight, which left me with absolutely nothing interesting to do. So, I took it upon myself to force Pedro to watch seasons 1 and 2 of Felicia Day's The Guild, a witty web series chronicling the lives and misadventures of six online gaming compatriots who sometimes are forced to mingle in the real world (or realm). Despite his initial reservations, Pedro was overcome with the hilarity of The Guild and succumbed to its awesome powers of viralness.

That being said, it is my duty to do for you as I have done for Pedro. If there was ever a time that you were going to get into a web series, it should be right now. The summer is upon us, and the lack of quality programming to fill up a week is almost laughable at this point (I'm at nine shows per week right now, also known as child's play!). So, I will seize this opportunity while you are weak and perhaps even desperate to watch something new and genius and direct you over to these locations where you can watch both seasons of The Guild in their entirety for free (yes, free!):

- The Guild's YouTube channel, or

- Watch the Guild.

After you have fallen in love with The Guild, you can purchase the series on DVD from Amazon and buy yourself a Guild t-shirt from Jinx to help support and fund future seasons of the series.

Felicia Day recently tweeted some information about the production of season three, saying yesterday, "The Guild is back in my house! Last week of shooting commences." This gives me hope that new episodes of The Guild could be up as soon as August (eeeks!), which means you should start catching up now. Anyway, the series gets my stamp of approval, five gold stars, two thumbs up and whatever other badges of praise and support that I may be forgetting. Check it out and let us know what you think!



UPDATE 3:22pm 8 July 2009:

Season 3 of The Guild premieres in August! It's official! This screencap is from The Guild's official YouTube channel to which Felicia Day is currently uploading season 2 to as per her tweets. Anyway, as you can see, season 3 is going to premiere on Watch the Guild in August. Less than a month until new eps! Yes!!!
