Women of Warcraft
As a podcaster myself, I think that WoW -- an abbreviation adopted by shows creators -- is a great example of what a niche show should be. It's a little urban and fun, while being admittedly dorky at the same time.
If I knew more about Warcraft, I feel like I'd appreciate WoW twenty times more. I may need to watch a few more episodes before I can crack those warrior codes.

Lil Scrappy's G's Up TV
Beyond his contributions to the world of southern rap, Lil Scrappy has been dominating the online video charts. His web series "G's Up TV" regularly gets over a hundred thousand hits -- that's 100,000 hits PER VIDEO -- making it one of the most watched shows on YouTube.
Intercutting interviews (conducted in what I'm guessing is Lil Scrappy's actual living room) with video diary segments, this is a surprisingly well-produced and insightful series. Here, in episode 7, we find out exactly how rapper Skittles got his name (abridged version: because they come in different colors, just like his hos), before discussing Scrappy's relationship with his mother.
It's cool stuff. Just be prepared for a whole lot of n-words. They be flying about, yo.

Bikini News
I recently came across LiveVideo’s Bikini News via Blip.tv and I think the show's fantastic. You might think that any show starring two pretty and skinny Cali-girls in bikinis is a cock-tease. I, however, think that it is a fantastic marketing ploy.
I will admit, the first time I watched BN, I had one of those naked on-stage nightmares. But it was me, in a bikini, and on this show. No one wants to see that. But I highly recommend that y'all give Bikini News a chance. The hosts aren’t bad to look at and seem fairly knowledgeable of the topics that they are discussing. The titles and graphics are very well done. And the content is entertaining and informative.
In this episode, the Bikini babes interview Ask A Ninja’s Kent Nichols. Interesting stuff!

Hammer & Coop
Of course, where there are fast moves, skidding tires, and talking cars there is bound to be at least one babe in a bikini. Maybe some ninjas? I’m not quite sure where they come from, but if you can cover a period script and bad acting with some ninjas and a tricked-out Coop, I’m down.

Unleashed - Natural Enemies
It’s a dog-eat-dog world for Hollywood pet actors! What would "Lassie" have been without that clever collie. Can you imagine "Friends" without the ducks and the monkey? People just love to see animals perform on screen - especially when they're doing things that your common house pet could only dream of doing.
Created by Ben Zelevansky, Unleashed is a weekly, animated comedy series that spotlights Hollywood’s best and brightest pets. Complete with behinds-the-scenes Hollywood commentary, this series is as mundane as it is scathing- a perfect of caricature of life in the biz.
