When I first heard about French Maid TV, I thought it was going to be some dumb excuse to watch boobs and some booty-shaking. But, as it turns out, the show is clever and actually kind of cute. The scripted podcast is a series of “How Tos” featuring three attractive French maids, offering advice on topics such as How to Register a Domain or How to Barter Online. These brooding babes don't just know how to work a feather duster; their advice is surprisingly web savvy.

Inter-cut with distractions and fun little asides, the latest episode of French Maid TV is an informative and eye-catching guide to sharing music with your friends. As fun as rock climbing and potato sack races are, I love how the French maids are trying to stay connected with the Holla girls. Being from complete opposite sides of the world, who knew they had anything in common?

And that guy being held under arrest... just happens to be Alex from Diggnation. I wonder how hard it was to convince him to put down his laptop for long enough to be held in contempt? Seriously, it’s impressive to see any web personality actually part from his or her computer. Even if there are sexy ladies involved.

Created by Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf, Jetset is a weekly teen culture web show that highlights cool and often geeky things found on and offline. Dedicated to using web vision as a communication tool, the series focuses “on teen life and interests as it relates to today's global online culture.”

Though Jetset may target teens, there is something universal about the show's message that appeals to a much larger audience. By combining issues of insecurity, angst, and morality with a fun-fictional vibe, the web series makes note of important issues without preaching or talking down the people who may suffer from them.

A great example of the show's “actions speak louder than words” attitude can be found in their latest episode, where Zadi and Steve address personal debt and video game addiction. Personally, I thought the video game detox sequence was brilliant. And with the Wii and the new Xbox coming out this holiday season, I may have to enlist some of my friends.

Based on a popular comic strip, this new animated web series features Bradley and Marshall, two average guys pained by an average problem: what do you do when you have fallen into a relationship and love your gal for who she is on the inside... but want some serious arm candy?

As a female of the squishy variety, I was mildly pained by the “girls need to be skinny and pretty” theme of this short. But ultimately, I was won over by these two amicable shlubs who really don’t have a clue. I wish my hypothetical boyfriend would make me do things that required me to not only exercise, but also put down my computer and see the light of day.

"Girls and Sports" is written by Justin Borus and Andrew Feinstein. Best friends from Denver, the duo has been collaborating on "Girls & Sports" since they were both in college. Currently inking out episode two, the series is animated by Matt Wilson and the voices are done by stand-up comedian Matt Iseman, Kevin Delaney, and Katie Kreisler.

Galacticast is a weekly web series that claims to parody all the worlds of geek-dom. The show's creators and stars, Rudy Jahchan and Casey McKinnon, write, shoot, and edit this larger-then-life web series in their studio apartment. Using a green screen, a camera, and a couple of lights, the sci-fi comedy brings a Lucas-esque quality to the viral video scene.

After launching in May of 2006, Galacticast continues to gain recognition from the vlogosphere for its well-scripted episodes and use of basic effects programs to create a vivid fictional world. In the spirit of Galaxy Quest, the comedy series developed as a mash-up of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comic book, and video-game references into sketch comedy spoofs.

This week’s episode references Superman and the Common People video “Zod Speaks from the Phantom Zone.” Some fans are calling this episode one of Galacticast’s best videos to date; with fellow podcasters (the Ray brothers and the Bui brothers) appearing as talking heads at the beginning of the episode, how could it not be?
