"Roommates" To Debut On MySpaceTV Today

MySpaceTV revealed late last night that today at 4 PM eastern, the first episode of "Roommates" will air on the social network's video platform. The show is the first original series to broadcast on Rupert Murdoch's News Corp-owned site. Produced by Iron Sink Media and sponsored by Ford Motor Company's 2008 Focus, "Roommates" will run through December 21st with new 3-minute minisodes airing each day Monday to Friday at 4 PM eastern.

The series will follow the lives of four female college grads living in Los Angeles and utilize a real-time "polling tool" through which viewer opinions on the characters and plot will influence the show's direction. Characters will have web profiles on which viewers can comment and a chat tool will be available where fans can chat with each other. By the way, the fact that this is an original series means it is scripted. Thank goodness, not another reality TV show!
