This funny new web series written and starring real-life friends Joni Lefkowitz (whom you might remember as the very first guest on Brunch With Bridget) and Susanna Fogel chronicles a passive-aggressive friendship between two women: Joni is gay, Susanna is straight, and they alternate between supporting each other and tearing each other down. In the first episode, "Party," the two women are supposedly each other's wingman at a house party when Joni sees a cute woman she likes, and Susanna wants this guy to ask her out again, but they spend more time sabotaging than helping each other. Susanna (left) and Joni It's very Office-y type humor (i.e. awkward and understated), which isn't everyone's cup of Earl Grey, but I really enjoyed it. The writing and acting is good, and it's fun to see a friendship between a gay and straight woman portrayed, even if it is a bitchy friendship (actually, that's kind of refreshing, too). You may also recognize one or two familiar faces: Bridget McManus and Julia Miranda guest-star. Watch the first episode here (or on TheWB.com): Joni & Susanna: Episode 1 "Party"
For some reason, The WB has decided to post all 6 episodes now, but we're going to run one each day between now and next Monday, so you can enjoy them at a leisurely pace. If you like the show, watch the episodes more than once — the more video streams these episodes get, the more likely it is that Warner Bros. will continue to fund the series (and others with lesbian content). Check back every day this week for new episodes of Joni & Susanna, and look for Dara's Submitted by on December 15, 2008 - 4:26pm. |

slightly awkward...
i can't watch it either :(
I had the same problem at first.
This happens to me a lot since I now use the second beta release of Internet Explorer 8.0. Because it is still in beta, many sites aren't compatible with it yet, so I have to run some of them in compatibility mode. If this is similar to your situation, see if your browser has a compatibility mode you can use. I was able to watch the episode without any issue after I switched.

Funny as!
pair reminds me
These two DO remind me of me and my best friend who is straight and just got married. We are bitchy, but at the end of the day we always have each others friendship (since highschool) and there has been those random occassional sexual tensions between us that are awkward and i say "no, I'm not attracted to you in that way" and my friend says "ewww gross i'm straight... you bitch j.k. lol." Not even lying.
Very Funny!
Would like to watch, but I
Any ideas? :)
Hey that's weird, I live in
I'm living in the Uk and I
Me three
:(
I love it!
It's different! i cant wait to see the next episode.

Tee hee.
Out-of-context FTW!
There were only a couple LOL moments for me. But, that's probably because I don't watch The Office. However, the ending was my favorite part. And, anything with Bridget deserves more than one shot. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.
And, on an unrelated note, I do plan on watching The Office some day...

D'oh!
I didn't even think about how "look for Dara's quickie with Joni tonight" would look out of context. :) I just changed the word to "interview" so as not to mislead anyone into thinking we were going to be showing porn on the site tonight. :)
I loved it!
LOVED the last line...so
LOVED the last line...so funny :P
i think this could turn out to be really good...but i'm gonna stilt the episodes so I don't get all greedy and do it all at once!
Loved it
It's very funny!! It's cool to watch something different from the stuff I watch.
Bridget was amazing on it!!!
this is
this is DEFINITELY my type of humor.
i love this!
love this
Thanks for putting this up. Joni and Susanna are a great duo. I love the deadpan humor. And it doesn't hurt that Bridget's in it as well. I will certainly watch it a couple times over.
oohhhh i'm definitely gona
oohhhh i'm definitely gona watch the next episodes!
i'm also lookin forward to Dara's quickie with Joni later lol!
YES BRIDGET WAS AMAZING!!!
sheesh!
Bridget is just completely embedded into every facet of After Ellen!! It's a wonder she doesnt feel totally over exposed.
fun episode... :-)
about Bridget...
she's just very involved and I love that! so I say: more over exposure!! the more of Bridge the merrier!! =)
I love Bridget's work and whatever she's in I'll watch.
I liked this episode even thou I don't like that kind of comedy.
Julia and Bridget were really fun!
and I'm guessing there's something going on between the two main characters, what else would they behave like that? o.O
oh...
that was hilarious. more
that was hilarious. more more more!

LOOOOOOOOOVED IT.
LOL!
This was hysterical! Perfect kind of dry, awkward humour that I respond to. I will definitley be keeping up with it.
And Bridget playing the hot girl at a party? I have a feeling that might've been taken from real life! ;-)
Thanks for posting it... It was fun!

I ended up watching all of them...now I wish I hadn't've...
but I couldn't stop myself! It's really good.
Awesome!
That was basically perfect. I just sat here on the WBs awful buggy website and forced it to play me all six episodes, and as soon as they work out the "commercials randomly appearing" thing, I will show it to all of my friends.
But, seriously, that was my absolute favorite thing I've seen in quite a while. They're just such GIRLS, and such bitches, but they're also such good friends, and that's exactly what hanging out with chicks is like. I feel like this is the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" of ridiculous female friend behavior. Also, chicks making out. And Bridget as a total tool of a love interest is hilarious, both on principle and on acting. Oh, and the Julia character. And, just... yeah, I liked this a lot. Obviously.

Bridget! OMG! Wow, she's got quite a mouth on her in the second episode, haha!

Off Humor is good. I like the fact people in it are normal looking and not some glamorous dolled up actors. It really makes the series interesting.
Hilarious
Hilarious! Loved it, I'm
Hilarious! Loved it, I'm going to go watch the rest of the episodes now.
Also, I used to have the same kind of friendship with a straight girl; they don't want you (because they're straight), but they don't want any other girl to have you either. And God forbid you don't find her attractive, that is the ultimate offense to a straight best friend, for the lesbian friend not to find her attractive. Ack....crazy...
hehe!Absolutely crazy
Meh.
Not awkward or sharp enough. Good premise, just needs to be punched up some.
DO watch Children's Hospital on thewb.com. So so very hilarious and wrong.
hmmm...I don't know
My understanding
haha
My new fave web series
Yay! This show is awesome. I totally love the subtle deadpan humor :D
I ♥ Susanna's bits of rambling.
Doesn't Joni look like Sophia Bush when she tilts her head?
It's refreshing that the show depicts a gay girl just as pretty and bitchy as any straight girl out there.

I love this!
I think it's awesome that something like this can even get made! Thank you WB!
Joni is great - as are the celesbian guest stars. I will definitely keep watching. :D
Loved it!
this um just makes me
this um just makes me happy. k.

Too funny!

They're a riot those two.
They're a riot those two. mann this is really great show. i love how it has that realistic office feel to it. except it's not depressing. lol. it has that awkward humour that is just so freaking charming!
and i was in awe b/c (like some others here) it's like I'm watching my bestfriend(straight) and I for 7 minutes in retrospect. KER-AZY. lol. Minus all the sabotage.
This was intresting.
This was intresting. Although not my kind of hummor I would find myself watching this. I guess it is because I have seen straight girlfriends doing this to each other.
Thank God me and my bestfriend (straight girlfriend) don't act like this. She likes to tell people we are on a date when we go out ;) I even started a kiss that we still do today. Where we suck in our lips and kiss eachother, as in so we don't catch anything from each other like her straightness ;) All in good fun.

Susanna kinda reminds me of a dark haired Sweet Dee from It's Always Sunny.
