By ABBIE BERNSTEIN |
Cheeks and Sean Hemeon in HUSBANDS

In a pleasant one-story house on a quiet street in North Hollywood, two handsome young men walk down a hallway, have a friendly argument, then get into bed together. Then they do it again, and again. This is because this is a scene from HUSBANDS, the first known Marriage Equality sitcom for the Web. Produced and written by Jane Espenson, who also financed, and Brad Bell, HUSBANDS is the story of what can happen when marriage equality has passed in the U.S. at the federal level. All over the country, same-sex couples now have the same rights as opposite-sex pairs. […]Read On »

Taking three totally different animated styles, FUTURAMA re-invents itself in tone and storytelling with each segment progressively getting weirder and weirder. It’s a geek haven with the first segment kicking things off in black in white in that old Max Fleischer […]Read On »
