Monkeyshines and Shenanigans: Welcome to Wage Slaves
Posted on: July 17, 20093 comments so far (is that a lot?)
Wage Slaves is a new web-series about life in a coffee shop in Portland, Oregon, where the pay is meager, the humiliation plentiful, and the customers are always wrong.
It stars these people with their wacky antics and foolish horseplay. For all their monkeyshines and shenanigans, they’re amazing. Seriously. If you like nothing else about Wage Slaves, you will at least love the actors, I promise.
The first season consists of six episodes (or “webisodes”) that vary from 12 to 18 minutes each — longer than a commercial but still shorter than a sitcom.
The pilot episode premieres on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009, and another episode debuts every Tuesday thereafter.
I’m not the boss of you, but it would be great if you watched it — and if you’re so inclined, let us know what you think!

The show was a lot better when it was called “Dirk” and the rest of the cast had no lines or scenes.

Quite pleased, but you ought to have held off on the main character sleeping with his boss until the next season.

Thanks, Booboowillow! I know, building up the sexual tension is a time-honored sitcom tradition — but Mitch and Stacy are moving in a different direction. I hope you’ll find it rewarding.
