Unbreakable Kimmy Shmidt

Unbreakable Kimmy Shmidt, a hilarious new comedy series created by Tina Fay and Robert Carlock (30Rock) is now available on Netflix!. I'm in one of the episodes. Not just funny, I found the show to be thoughtful and touching. Kimmy is literally “unbreakable” no matter what happens to her.

Exciting news from 2nd Avenue !!
Thank you for watching and supporting our Japanese-American web-series, 2nd Avenue. I want to share some of the progress here.
Our 2nd Avenue YouTube channel has enjoyed about 10,000 views within a few weeks of it's debut in August, 2013. Since then, we have been featured in major internet news and media outlets like Yahoo! Japan, NY Keizai Shimbun (9/4/13, 12/27/13), and roomie.jp among others. Additionally, we were thrilled to be featured in such print publications as The Asahi Shimbun (below), Soen, Badi, NY Japion, Weekly NY Seikatsu, Weekly Biz, US Frontline, Halfway (Waseda University), and more.
Thanks to our successful Kickstarter campaign, we have finished shooting the last three episodes in November 2013 and released the 4th episode on December 27th and completed the whole season on February 4th, 2014. We couldn’t have come this far without each one of you who believed in 2nd Avenue. Thank you!!!!
More updates to come shortly. Please stay connected with us on Facebook and Twitter:)
