Episodes:
-
Ep. 1: Web Featurettes
Five Web Featurettes (about 18 minutes in total). Javier and actors explain the concept with clips and interview footage in promos that aired for ABC Family. There’s a set tour, showing off gadgets and hats, commentary on the comic roots of the series, and more on the Varsity Fanclub appearance.
-
Ep. 2: Javi-Casts
Javi-Casts (14 of them, about an hour and 20 minutes total), which are web interviews with Javier where he answers fan questions. I appreciated seeing Wendy’s paintings showed off and some of the other writers appearing. Some fans seemed to want Wendy and the Middleman to get together, but I totally agree with Javier that it was a working/brother-and-sister-type relationship, not a romantic one.
