Play It Again, Dick: web series spinoff

[possibilities]

Airing starting September 15th, and already in the can, it looks like the gang's all here (almost):

I'll watch it, but I'm skeptical.

[Kalliste]

I wasn't quite sure what the deal was, but after reading that it sounds unusual and I think I'll give it a try.

[Cranberry]

Heard about this the other day. I think it sounds meta as hell and like it has the potential to be hilarious. I'm in!

[bettername2come]

The cast is certainly funny in behind the scenes stuff. I'm really excited about Kyle Gallner returning as himself and Cassidy, and Ryan Devlin as Duncan sounds like it could be hilarious.

[Kalliste]

Anyone seen the trailer yet? It is a bit odd.. I'm hoping to see a bit more.

[Lisin]

I've only seen this one Kalliste.

 

 

I'm pretty excited. I don't care what it is, I just love more Veronica Mars content!

That's the one :P it looks so silly. I'll give it a try though :)

[Lisin]

I really love Dick (heeeeeee) so I'm excited. 

[Whimsy]

I'm ridiculously excited for this.  I put it in my calendar and everything so I don't forget.

Behind the scenes:

[absnow54]

I just watched the first episode. 7-10 minutes is not enough! I love Ryan Hansen so much, and his dynamic with Kristen Bell is hysterical. I hope they find the time to continue producing these things during their down time. 

[Kalliste]

oh the first episode is already out? I wasn't sure when on the 16th it'd happen.

[ApathyMonger]

I think it went up at midnight ET. http://cwseed.com/shows/play-it-again-dick/?play=38d4f19c-30d5-463c-a2e8-0998cc2d1442

Is it coming out weekly?

[Kalliste]

Hmm, it isn't working for me.. anyone know if it's region locked?

[absnow54]

Hmm, it isn't working for me.. anyone know if it's region locked?

Yes, I've heard it's only available in the US. Hopefully it'll pop up on YouTube somewhere!

[Myrrhine]

Seriously, this was awesome. What a way to brighten my morning.

I loved the parts about acknowledging Dick's darker side in the original series and the reference to bringing in a whole new audience: non- nerds!

From a recent backer email:

 

For our international backers, unfortunately, the CW Seed is not available outside the US. Please know that we are doing everything we can to make the series accessible to all of you as well, and we hope to have an update on that front soon.

 

Anyway, this was fun! Looking forward to more. :)

 

 

ETA: From a backer email today:

AND… we’re very happy to announce that the show is also streaming in Canada on CTV Extend:

For the rest of our international backers - we are working very hard on options that will enable you to enjoy the series as well. We will update you on that front as soon as we can.

Thanks Dougal, so essentially.. I'll be finding it on youtube before they sort it :P

Episode 2 is up: http://cwseed.com/shows/play-it-again-dick/?play=f3feeab0-dfba-4403-b39e-0adae1e844c4

[Whimsy]

Thanks for the reminder.  I've had a crazy busy last week and a half and forgot!!!  Going to watch it now....

 

ETA:  Holy Crap is Jason Dohring cut!! 

Ok, shallowness done.  I love Ryan and Jason's friendship and their chemistry on the screen.  I loved how Jason kept saying to redo the shots and then Ryan's reaction.  I also loved Chris Lowell's reaction to be asked to play Piz again.  And he was pantless!! 

 

Anyway, I love this little webseries and I love how this cast is SOOOOO supportive of each other and how they keep actively finding things to do together.  A lot of casts will say "this is the best cast I've worked with, we all get along" blah-blah-blah and it's normally just bullshit.  I truly feel the camaraderie and respect with everyone involved with Veronica Mars and it makes me so very happy!!

[blackCatCollins]

i actually had to watch this twice. the first time i wasn't paying attention to anything because i couldn't stop staring at Dohring's abs. also, side note, he looks more and more like Ed Norton as he ages.

\end shallowness

 

i wish this show were longer :(

Episode 3: http://cwseed.com/shows/play-it-again-dick/?play=cb204d35-33e0-4638-bf74-3f651ddadf72

[Clare]

LOL, the third episode made my day!  I think this was the best yet.  Enrico and Percy were hilarious.

[Whimsy]

This was my least favorite episode. I loved Ryan, but Enrico and Percy, to me, we're trying too hard to be different then they actually are. It just seemed weird to me.

[blackCatCollins]

so...that just wasn't funny to me. i can't say i laughed once. :/

[gpgurl50]

I liked it.  It seems like every episode gets a little crazier.  Ep 1, KBell seemed sort of normal.  Ep 2, JD was an excitable bro.  Ep 3, Enrico is straight up crazy.

[Kalliste]

anyone know whether it's available for international viewers anywhere yet? I've had no luck on youtube which seems strange.

[Agfa]

If you're in Canada, you can watch it on CTV (http://www.ctv.ca/PlayItAgainDick.aspx).

[absnow54]

I was getting a tad bored with the series, but the most recent episode was hilarious. I was angry with Jason Dohring dropping out at first, but Robert Buckley's stilted, robotic delivery of exposition made up for it. And the random cut to Wallace. Ha! I hope the rest of the episodes are like this.

[bettername2come]

Ok, today's episode was the best so far. Cassidy being all "I told you, Dick. I jumped." was hilarious. I was really looking forward to that cameo, and now I realize it's been a while since I saw Kyle Gallner in anything. He has aged. Madison's actress was at her absolute best. She works better as comedy instead of high school alpha bitch. The best part of all was Keith eating the death sandwich, choking, and then taking another bite.

[blackCatCollins]

"by the way, find me England on a map of Westeros" and "i wasn't performing oral sex in that decade" are two of the greatest lines ever uttered. also, Robert Buckley is rapidly becoming the greatest part of this show. i don't understand why he AND Ryan aren't more famous. 

[ApathyMonger]

The last two episodes are up now. I love "Kristen's" disdain at having to say the awful dialogue. Also, Daran Norris's voice being dubbed in for the chef.

[dcalley]

These two might have made me laugh the most. Did we ever see Madison in the red dress from the credits?

[gpgurl50]

I'm sad the webseries is over.  Ryan managed to kill off like half the cast.  Haha.

[Nessie]

Ok, that right there?  That was BRILLIANT!  Especially the last two episodes.  I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
