Tiny Plastic Men

This short show is not for everyone. It is clearly made by proud and knowledgeable geeks for the rest of us geeks who get it and are in on what they are talking about and making fun of. If you're not a geek or into nerd culture then it might be best to move on. The show is hit or miss but a good enough time for us proud geeks!

I love this show and I love these guys! I mean what is not to love? It is a nice, sweet, funny workplace comedy about subject matter that most proud geeks love. It's well written and performed, and I love the tiny... plastic... men!

Hello Sam! I'm the head-writer of this show, and I play Crad. Thanks for taking the time to go out of your way to watch an untried show. That's cool of you, and I'm sorry you got burnt. While our show is far from perfect, I'd like to defend it a little, because there's a couple elements in your review that are "false".

Number one, I daresay the episode you saw wasn't finished. It was our first season, and we were excited to get hockey star Georges Laroque to be on our show as a guest star. We were, and are stoked to be working with him, so we sent him an early rough cut and he threw it up on YouTube out of pure exuberance, which is basically what Georges is made of. . The cut you saw most likely lacked music, titles, a fine cut, colour correction, and other stuff that helps TV to not suck? We added those later. It helped out some.

In your review, you said "If you're gonna put only one episode of your show online, it better be your best!" or something close to that. Well, I don't know if it's our best episode. It should surprise no one that I got my favorites, and while I love them all like my children, some shine brighter than others. Since you are a true explorer or media, perhaps I could ask you to give our humble show one more chance, perhaps the pilot? "The Man With No Name" is our premiere, and it, as well as newer episodes and a selection of sketches are up at www.tinyplasticmen.com.

If you still figure us a 2, I will accept this and wear it, like a heavy hat. I'm gonna give us a 10, for effort.

Watched the first episode and I cannot believe it was picked up for more than that, and I greatly refused to waste my time viewing this 'series' any further than that. Vulgar language. Children actors subjected to that language? Just downright awful plot. Someone out there must had too much money in putting this 'crap' out to the public. Overall this must've been a tax write-off for somebody. Seems to have generated some work at least for all the people involved with the production, actors, behind the scenes sound stage folks, the childish writers, and administration. Otherwise save yourself time to watch something better than this.

Not sure how someone can write any sort of valid review of a TV Series after seeing only one episode, nor how they can harp on the quality after seeing it on YouTube…

I have seen Season 1 and Season 2 of Tiny Plastic Men, and thoroughly enjoy the series.

It's a small "IT Crowd"-like comedy with heart. Being from Alberta, I am proud that an Edmonton-based show can do so well that they're CSA-nominated and into their 3rd Season. It's the little show that could and I'm a supporter and fan.

Yes, there are inside jokes, such as Kitten Assassin, that cater to the returning audience. Every good comedy does that. Yes, there are multi-episode story lines that would make you feel lost if you jumped into the series at Episode 7 and spoke as an authority on the subject…

The cutaway scenes speak to this show's roots as a sketch comedy, and while I understand the comparison with Family Guy, they aren't meant to be the same. It's a quirky look at the pop culture world we live in, the cutaways are hilarious and it makes me laugh a ton.

Definitely deserving of the Canadian Screen Award nomination, can't wait for season 3, and I would recommend this series to anyone who considers themselves a pop culture fan.
