Ever shopped on Craigslist? Pictures can be misleading, and a lack of accountability makes accuracy a rarity in this virtual flea market. The Roommates experience this firsthand in the series’ pilot, The Craigslist Couch, an episode that should strike a chord with the beatnik apartment dwellers of the world (me included).
Casting details will be finalized soon, to be followed by an infinitely charming piece of press copy that we’ll try to spin double-time as a purposeful bio feature for each of the major players. As for final auditions, we’re in talks with casinos in the Reno area, possibly leaning toward the one with the biggest Boomstick. Stay tuned, and RIP Walter Cronkite.

If you’ve seen American Flyers, you know how ripe it is for a trailer spoof. I’ve seen a few video mash spoofs that were particularly well done, including this one for Sling Blade, and was inspired to throw this one together as a little 4th of July gift for fans of this awkward 80s cycling thrill ride mofo.
Assuming there are any out there, here’s your free ticket. Now I should really get back to writing Roommates’ episodes and convincing myself that radon is nothing to fear. I mean, I live on the second floor so if anyone dies, it’ll just be the neighbors, right? Neighbors are soooo 1950s.
Favorite quotes from the film? Feel free to contribute. I’ll go first.
“What the hell is that?!” – Becky, pointing at two people on a bike. You’d think she witnessed something magical, like a dancing Bic Mac.
“It’s all computerized.” – Gym manager, referring to the LED-lit treadmills, dangling stethoscopes, and flashing lights. He also happens to be the biggest filler role in motion picture history, though his son is even worse.
