Ever wonder what kinds of people make their living cleaning the outside of the windows on huge skyscrapers? Well, if you take ABC.com’s new online series Squeegees seriously, then the answer might be a bunch of weirdos. But after viewing an episode of the comedy series tonight, I’m pretty positive that there’s nothing about this show that’s meant to be taken seriously – but maybe that’s a good thing.
The web series, which stars members from the Handsome Donkey Comedy Troupe, centers on Gil, a guy who runs his own window-washing business. His three friends BC, Adam and Ronny work with him but their shenanigans generally keep Gil’s business from ever really getting off the ground (lame pun intended). While getting up to the usual high jinks that one might expect from people who work hundreds of feet above the ground, the guys also have to put up with a rivaling window washing company, made up of three brothers who are even weirder than these guys are.
From what I can tell, Squeegees is probably going to appeal to people with a certain type of sense of humor. I have a feeling people are either going to absolutely love it or else, think it’s completely stupid (or maybe a little bit of both). I’ll let you be the judge. Here’s a promo for the show:
Squeegees premiered tonight on ABC.com and YouTube. According to ABC’s website, new episodes will premiere on Mondays and Fridays. The first two episodes are both less than five minutes long and available for viewing now.
