Web Series Worth Watching: Where the Bears Are Debuts on August 1

Web Series of the Week: Where the Bears Are
Now this new web series looks like a lot of fun - at least from its hilarious preview trailer. Part Golden Girls (one of the creators actually wrote for the beloved sitcom), part Murder, She Wrote and totally gay, this comedy/mystery tells the story of three friends living together in Los Angeles as they attempt to solve the murder of a party guest who turns up dead in their bathroom. Also, the hunky, hairy character in the white shorts in the above pic is named "Hot Toddy" - and he certainly is, isn't he?

Where the Bears Are debuts on August 1, and DEEP DISH will be featuring every episode. For more information on the series, go to wherethebearsare.tv. You can also become a fan on Facebook and Twitter.

The Outs
This groovy gay web series by the talented Adam Goldman continues with its third episode, "Moon River" - and, of course, with a title like that, I'm already loving it. There are many great moments including Oona's job interview, Cher performing West Side Story, Jack watching Pretty Woman with a friend, Mitchell's awkward invitation to a cute delivery guy, and the return of the adorable Scruffy. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this show, which everyone should be watching.
