Watched My Wife, The Ghost shorts

Watched My Wife, The Ghost – a short by a group of New Yorkers, a story that filled with puns and cliche common to tv series in the 60s. It consists of 5-minutes episodes. The next-week plot advances in form of cliffhanger of the current episode.

Funny, although filled with repetitive puns (plus some amateurish acting), it is much better than some of the hour long tv series that i’ve been watching for the rest of the week. Why cant anybody create a tv series as good as this anymore?

You can download My Wife, The Ghost from Channel 101:NY website.

p/s: This is not an actual 1960s tv series. Also available from Youtube.com
