From easytoassemble.tv:-
Easy to Assemble follows Illeana Douglas as she quits her Hollywood career and goes to work at IKEA Burbank in an attempt at a ‘normal life.’ However your past is often more difficult to leave behind than you think. Especially when Hollywood craziness with its gossip columnists, stalkers and celebrity friends follows you. Can Illeana assimilate in "civilian" life and prove that "art is where you make it?"
There seems to be two home sites for "EASY TO ASSEMBLE".

These are pretty cool imo, Supermarket to the Stars is pretty funny too (actually maybe funnier?) I hadn't heard of either, the playcounts on the youtube channel are pretty low, do you think many people watched them?
Hey Sarah -- I've not seen Supermarket to the Stars -- will check that out...
Re. playcounts on youtube -- interesting... The makers could say that its being watched on the 'official channel' -- but as we've seen with hits, hits are viewed everywhere...
Here's the thing... and I hope to explore this over the posts and open up the converstation...
I don't think that high production values lead to a hit.
There. I've said it.
It won't be a hit however well written, performed, edited or even lit.
If it feels pre-produced -- i.e. if there's no life around the show... there's no way or incentive, or urge, or encouragement for viewers to interact with the show or each other or both...
...then it won't be a hit.
We want a sense of the creators being 'among us' - rather than completing and transmitting their work to us.
If they don't... we might as well be watching something on TV?
Hmmmm, I think I have my foot in both camps on this one, I think there is room for both high production value stuff ( what we know as TV to date), and the emerging "internet style of production value.
I don't always want to interact with what I'm watching, I often feel that people are interacting just for the sake of it, as opposed to adding any value, so while I might take note of some comments, or the number of comments, I don't feel the need to read them, or to participate myself.
Also sometimes the online 'Community' can be pretty alienating so I'd rather not jump in. There's a lot of sexism and negativity in the comment boxes on sites such as youtube and it can get pretty wearying.
