CBS’s content is questionable at times. Two and a Half Men, like most sitcoms, reuses the same storylines for nearly every episode and is one of the greatest sitcoms I’ve seen solely because Charlie Sheen is indisputably the greatest actor of all time. Why? Because he plays himself in every role.
This post isn’t about Two and a Half Men though. CBS has been branching out from its roots to mix two types of media: television and the Internet. Youtube’s success inspired tons of web video startups, CBS being no exception.
I now introduce you to MobLogic TV, a political show started by CBS that asks the public for their opinion on major modern issues, as well as investigates the truth behind events.
What I really appreciate about this venture is that CBS isn’t really mass-marketing. MobLogic feels homegrown, like a production team is making the shows without corporate influence and are deciding on when and how they’d like to cover topics, many of which you would never hear from more mainstream media.
Beware of a slightly Democratic spin on things. This is probably due to the nature of Republican’s to be more content with the current situation of the nation. Any show this question-heavy would end up slanted toward Democrats asking Republicans about the state of things, and I’m hoping that it will question Obama’s office equally when he is inducted. There are episodes where both parties are equally represented.
Now your first episode introductory episode of MobLogic:
And a second episode that’ll give you a clearer picture of what the show is about:
I’ll be including MobLogic videos in my posts occasionally, partly because I really like the show and and partly because I want CBS to sponsor me.
