clark and michael

i was first introduced to michael cera on arrested development about five years ago. The thing about this kid was that he was on arguably the funniest show on television, with arguably the funniest actors on television, and he was arguably the funniest one on the show. This was highly unusual considering that most of the time I abhor child actors on television shows, and always hope they are given as little air time as possible.
Since then this kid has become an enormous star, which was bound to happen eventually with his impeccable comic timing. He has been in movies such as Superbad and Juno since then, which are probably the two most highly quoted movies among junior high schoolers nowadays. The fact that his star rose so quickly and his overexposure had me finding it more difficult to enjoy him. Then i discovered Clark and Michael.
clark and michael is a low budget made for internet show, starring Mikey Cera and his friend Clarke Duke who you may have seen on ABC Family's Greek. It's a low brow take on two friends trying to make a pilot for a television station. The show is financed by CBS, but has achieved no advertisement whatsoever other than word of mouth. It is highly enjoyable and I suggest you check it out!
