Check out this video: Roommates Ep1: Life After College

Some, um, idle observations on the first episode of Roommates, MySpace’s first scripted series produced in-house:

1. “We’re going to create a relationship with all of you, our friends on MySpace.” Wow, un-obfuscated marketing language right in the intro!

2. They peek out the window at the “cute” paperboy? Are they going to invite him in to fix their plumbing?

3. There’s no timecounter on the video player, but I’m guessing that first “accidental” bra-and-panties shot happens less than two minutes in.

4. “Living in a house with these girls is gonna be wild, and sexy.” Oh my god–it’s not even soft enough to be softcore. It’s Playboy Confessions for cybertweens!

5. Multiple fart jokes? Check.

6. If the comments garnered by the first episode are to be believed, then a substantial portion of the audience missed the memo that this is scripted.

7. When they get that memo and realize that MySpace plans to “take input from viewers from Seattle to Stuttgart who will have a say on where the show should go,” it’s hard to imagine any suggestion trumping “more catfights.” Except for maybe “less clothes.”

Watch it for yourself here.
