Online, Web-only TV Series

"Clark and Michael" originated as Clark Dukes' film school project. Its premise is two guys trying to get their TV pilot made. The show, a Web-only series, caught the attention of CBS executives and is now being produced by CBS. It is the most streamed CBS Interactive series and has been nominated for several "TV Guide" Online Video Awards. Check it out at Clark and Michael.
