A Bunch of Seeso Series and Special Just Found a Home at Starz

Take My Wife, Night Train with Wyatt Cenac, The UCB Show, Andy Richter’s Home for the Holidays, Sklar Brothers: Hipster Ghosts, Lachlan Patterson Live From Venice Beach, The Pistol Shrimps, Brian Posehn: Criminally Posehn and New York’s Funniest all just landed over at Starz and will be available on Starz’s own app and on-demand on May 1st.

Just in case you didn’t get around to watching anything on Seeso, there was a lot of innovative and fun stuff that was made and licensed over there. Hopefully, more people will come to realize that as they see Seeso shows and specials at other, more established networks and streaming platforms over the next year or so.

These days, you might be missing the show known as Bajillion Dollar Propertie$.

Well, if you’re in the LA area later this month, you might get a chance to get your Bajillion fix as the stars which could include Dan Ahdoot, Ryan Gaul, Mandell Maughan, Tawny Newsome, Drew Tarver and Paul F. Tompkins will be improvising together once more at UCB Franklin.

Also, tickets are only $5 and we have a sneaking feeling that it will sell out. So get them here quick.

Seeso Is Closing Up Shop Later This Year

August 10, 2017

Earlier today, we posted about the sale of Seeso properties to VRV.

Turns out that was foreshadowing for this post from a few hours ago on Seeso’s FB page:

Dear Seeso-ers,

We’re writing to let you know that later this year, Seeso will be shutting its comedy doors.

Though we will be departing, much of our comedy will live on – and some of your favorite Seeso Originals have already found a new home.

You can now find HarmonQuest, My Brother, My Brother and Me, Hidden America with Jonah Ray and The Cyanide and Happiness Show on VRV: https://www.vrv.co/watchnow
We’ll let you know as soon as we have further information, including where to find the exciting project “There’s…Johnny!” and other Seeso Originals in the future (in the meantime, please note that There’s…Johnny! will no longer premiere this month as previously announced. We love this show and can’t wait for everyone to see it).

If you have questions, please visit https://www.seeso.com/faq

Stay tuned for more information!

Like we said, Seeso (and NBC by proxy) had a lot of content stacked up, which will now be, most likely, splintered across various networks and streaming services in the coming weeks and months.

We’d hope that the doors closing at Seeso doesn’t reflect on the programming as plenty of their original series and specials are worth watching wherever you can watch them.

Seeso’s Hidden America with Jonah Ray, HarmonQuest, MBMBaM, and Cyanide and Happiness Sold to VRV Streaming Service

Seeso’s Hidden America with Jonah Ray, HarmonQuest, MBMBaM, and Cyanide and Happiness Sold to VRV Streaming Service

This is a fascinating sale as we could have swore that you could get access to Seeso content through an Amazon Prime subscription. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just sell it there? Maybe there wasn’t enough interest or the price wasn’t right?

In any case, the VRV streaming service, which is a streaming service home to lots of animated content, RiffTrax, Nerdist, and many other channels not only got four original shows, “Hidden America with Jonah Ray”, “HarmonQuest”, “My Brother, My Brother and Me”, and “Cyanide and Happiness” from Seeso in this sale, but also got an unaired season of HarmonQuest that they’ll get to premiere.

Though Seeso seems to be winding down, there’s plenty of great shows that should (and will hopefully) have a home sooner rather than later. Don’t be surprised to see Seeso programming get splintered on to several different services (or maybe even end up airing on linear TV in some way).

Season 2 of Seeo’s Stand-Up Series “The Guest List” Is Now Streaming

There are plenty of our favorite stand-ups working right now that are spread throughout this whole thing. If you have Seeso (or Amazon Prime), go binge away on season 2 of The Guest List.

“Doug Stanhope: The Comedians’ Comedian’s Comedian Special” Is Now Streaming on Seeso

If you love Doug Stanhope, Brendon Walsh, Morgan Murphy, and Glenn Wool like we do, you’ll be very happy to know that there’s a whole comedy special with all of them together that just started streaming on Seeso today.

Also, how can you not love the title: Doug Stanhope: The Comedians’ Comedian’s Comedians?

Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ Season 3 Now Streaming

If you have a Seeso subscription OR Amazon Prime, you can now enjoy the further foibles of high stakes, 1%-er real estate as well as the unforgettable beard worn by Paul F. Tompkins for season 3 of Bajillion Dollar Propertie$.

The cast of Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ is going to do an improv show, which could be a show on its own probably, to kick off the premiere of their third seaosn.

Advance tickets are currently sold out, but UCB sometimes releases tickets leading up to the show and there’s always a stand by line.

The Future of Seeso Doesn’t Seem So Bright as Evan Shapiro Steps Down as Head of Seeso

The Future of Seeso Doesn’t Seem So Bright as Evan Shapiro Steps Down as Head of Seeso

Currently, the only thing confirmed is that Shapiro will be stepping down.

However, there are plenty of murmurs and whispers that, after everything that’s already in the pipeline for this year premieres, Seeso might just close up shop altogether.

That would be an incredibly pity as so much good programming is on Seeso like Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, Take My Wife, plenty of stand-up specials, access to some of the best British and Aussie comedy out there, Hidden America with Jonah Ray, My Brother, My Brother and Me, and way more.

If Seeso does indeed get the ax, one has to wonder where all this content will go and, more importantly, if a new Seeso-ish streaming service or network will take its place, possibly from some other media conglomerate. Adult Swim, TruTV, and TBS can only take on so much more on their already very full plates and yet, there is plenty of Seeso original content that should have a home somewhere.

In any case, Seeso is still up and running for 2017 and you should watch as much of it as you can while you can.

A New Brent Weinbach Stand-Up Special “Appealing to the Mainstream” Is Now Streaming

A New Brent Weinbach Stand-Up Special “Appealing to the Mainstream” Is Now Streaming

To all subscribers of Seeso, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV, you now get the expressed privilege of having access to a brand new comedy special from Brent Weinbach, one of the best weirdos in comedy.

Even though it’s called “Appealing to the Mainstream”, Brent’s comedic voice has always stood uniquely, brilliantly and respectfully on its own and has done so much to our delight for many years.

Season 2 Trailer of Hidden America with Jonah Ray Includes a Not So Happy Anthony Bourdain

anthony bourdain, hidden america, janet varney, joel hodgson, parody, season 2, seeso, trailer, travel show

Hidden America with Jonah Ray is indeed a fake travel show that expertly skewers the whole TV genre that explores the culture of traveling here and abroad. The upcoming season has excited for more sharp, nuanced parodies of what real travel shows done in real cities with guests Joel Hodgson, Yvette Nicole Brown, Janet Varney and Jorge Garcia.

Also, in blurring the lines between the parody and real world, the one and only Anthony Bourdain of Parts Unknown fame, and a particularly incensed one at that, makes what seems to be a “fun” cameo on this new season of Hidden America.

See all of this and more in the season 2 trailer, then look for the season to start streaming on Seeso on Thursday, May 4th.

griffin mcelroy, justin mcelroy, mcelroy brothers, seeso, tarantula, travis mcelroy

Travis, Justin, and Griffin McElroy, the trio behind the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me, got to make a whole TV show based on their podcast.

My Brother, My Brother and Me, the TV series, is now set to have all episodes streaming on Seeso this week starting Thursday, February 23rd.

Leading up to that, Seeso was nice enough to put the entire first episode on YouTube in case you weren’t signed up for the NBC comedy streaming service and needed to be further enticed.

Honestly, after watching this first episode, it might be one of the best TV adaptations of a podcast yet.

Watch the first episode here.

For well over 300 episodes, Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy have had a damn good time dishing out unqualified advice on their own terms to their listeners on the My Brother, My Brother and Me podcast over at Maximum Fun.

Now, they’re going to have their own TV series on Seeso that upgrades the brothers to having adventures in their West Virginia hometown from the questions that they field.

This trailer looks like that they have a hell of a good time and promises plenty of delightful tomfoolery.

My Brother, My Brother and Me starts streaming on Seeso on Thursday, February 23rd.

Seeson Orders Another Season of Night Train with Wyatt Cenac, Which Will Be Shooting in Just a Couple of Weeks

Seeso is wasting no time in getting the second season of live comedy showcase series Night Train with Wyatt Cenac going. The renewal announcement was made today along with the line-ups feature much of the best in NYC and around the country. The tapings are all set up all around Valentine’s Day.

What makes us most excited about this new batch of Night Train is plenty more opportunity for Wyatt to spit the fire that he did with his immediate-post-election album, One Angry Night in November (you can still get it for free here).

You can get tickets, from which the proceeds will go to charity, here.

Adam Newman’s New Special Fuzzies Is Now Streaming on Seeso Which Apparently Includes a Really High Mic Drop

Seeso’s latest stand-up special comes from Adam Newman. Called Fuzzies, Newman not only dishes out his very well-crafted hour, but also sets a world record with a microphone.

Very few comedy specials ever get to see a world record just so you know.

Fuzzies is now streaming in its entirety on Seeso.

Jena Friedman’s Very Relevant and Hilarious “American C*nt” Now Available as an Album

January 21, 2017

Now, American C*nt is available as an album and you can just buy and listen to it over and over without subscribing to anything. You can (and very much should) get it off of iTunes here.

Last year, Jena Friedman recorded and released an amazing hour special on Seeso entitled American C*nt where she expertly dove into gender inequality in a darkly comedic and clever way.

She did a record it in a much more hopeful time where the idea of Trump becoming President was far from the reality it is now, but this hour from Jena is still as great and relevant now that the previously unimaginable has happened.

Laurie Kilmartin’s Special “45 Jokes About My Dead Dad” Now Streaming at Seeso

Laurie Kilmartin’s Special “45 Jokes About My Dead Dad” Now Streaming at Seeso

Already, Laurie Kilmartin and her new comedy special, 45 Jokes About My Dead Dad, now available on Seeso, has made plenty of year end ‘best of comedy’ lists.

We concur with those lists and think you should watch Laurie’s comedy special tribute to her late father, which combines joke craftsmanship, veteran comedy chops, and a wonderful vulnerability (lovingly accented with interviews with Laurie’s family, Patton Oswalt, Andy Kindler, and Conan O’Brien) usually reserved for solo shows.

You can get two months of Seeso free to watch this special w/promo code: kimartin

Watch Trailer for Laurie Kilmartin’s Excellent Special “45 Jokes About My Dead Dad”

December 27, 2016

45 jokes about my dead dad, comedy special, gallows humor, laurie kilmartin, seeso, stand up

It’s not often that you see concept specials/albums in comedy. Generally, those go in to the territory of solo shows (or they’re marketed as such), but doing jokes for an entire show on one single topic is a rare bird as it’s very hard to pull such a feat off well.

The passing of Laurie Kilmartin’s father lead to a joke writing frenzy on Twitter that caught the attention of the Internet. From there, she took the jokes on stage and put together an entire special that is very clear in its intentions, 45 Jokes About My Dead Dad.

The jokes are as well-crafted and funny as they are dark and honest, as you’ll see in the trailer. Also, there are thoughtful interviews in the special with Laurie, her family, Patton Oswalt, Andy Kindler, and Conan O’Brien that give some insight as to how the whole special came about. Overall, Kilmartin really showcases how powerful comedy can be in dealing with loss and does so hysterically.

Watch the trailer for 45 Jokes About My Dead Dad here, then stream it on Seeso this week on Thursday, December 29th.
