An Independent Sitcom For You to View; Calling All Fans for a TV Show

Tired of the lousy sitcoms these days? Fear not, we have an exclusive look on a sitcom that has been floating around--and it has NOT aired on television! An indepenent sitcom pilot has been produced about workers at an office running an online dating service. The pilot titled, The LEK, is an office-based comedy about the an online dating service trying to bring a new spin to mating in the age of technology. The LEK pilot was independently produced by David Kurtz and Chandler Evans. It stars Colleen Fitzpatrick (a.k.a. popstar Vitamin C), David Earl Waterman (whose credits include Drew Carey, Mr. Show and Pilot Season) and the World Air Guitar Champion, David S. Jung.
The bizarre sense of humor found amongst tech workers certainly lends itself to a sitcom...and that's what they tried to capture. Considering that independent television is all but dead, their only hope was to spread The LEK around and hope for the best.
I have viewed the pilot and it is well written with smart lines and a great bunch of characters that you will love. If you like The Office on NBC, you certainly will love this pilot. It has the smartness of My Name is Earl, Sons & Daughters and Arrested Development. Let's hope someone from television sees this pilot and brings it to television because it certainly can work on TV.
So how can YOU watch it? Easy! You have two ways. You can download it using BitTorrent (you can download the BitTorrent program at BitTorrent.com) or watch it online on YouTube.

Our thanks to David Kurtz, Non Sibi Productions, and everyone else involved for bringing this to our attention and more importantly for making this HILARIOUS pilot. All the best to them and please watch it--it is worth it. After you watch it, post your thoughts on our message board.
