Take a spoonful of Desperate Housewives, mix in a cup of Strangers with Candy and a pinch of RuPaul’s Drag Race and you have Gayle, our latest web-series obsession.
Creator Chris Fleming, 25, plays Gayle Waters-Waters, a tightly wound suburban mom who won’t rest until her life is perfect—even if that means kidnapping someone’s child so she has a partner to go kayaking with. Trapped in Gayle’s insane sphere of influence are her long-suffering husband, Dave, and kids, Molly Gross Waters-Waters and Ira Glass Waters-Waters. (Gayle and her husband already had the same name before they married but she insisted on hyphenating it anyway.)
Season One is wrapped and now Fleming is raising funds on Kickstarter to help produce Season 2 for the fall.

Series like this are the reason I’m so glad that there is Netflix and Hulu. Seriously, this could not get any stupider if they tried. There is a reason that television cancels horrible programming after one season.

I guess to each their own opinion Daez, but I see quite a clever comedy about a suburban housewife who’s completely out of her mind. It gets funnier upon repeat viewings, I found.
However, I’m not sure as to how it relates to the site at all..

These videos are phenomenal! I watched the first, and about half an hour later found that I had watched all ten! This is comedy that I can relate to. I grew up in the suburbs and there were many mothers who possessed some of the insanely humorous qualities that Gayle does. I give Gayle a fifteen out of ten!

Hilarious!! I’m watching the rest of the episodes now, and imagining what an awesome show it would be with a decent budget, on one of the minor networks, like maybe SyFy… I’d watch the shit outta that!
