TV Buzz The third season of this web series about the sex lives of young urbanites living in Chicago has been picked up by IFC. There’s sex! And full-frontal nudity!

TV Buzz Actor Craig Bierko from Fox’s Unhitched has a new webseries where he interviews celebrities in a bathtub. Someone needs to make a full-length feature called Bathing John Malkovich.
