The 50 Best Websites of 2011

Brevity is the soul of the wit at My Damn Channel, a video site where almost everything is entertaining and nothing runs for much more than five minutes. It features short-form sitcoms like Versailles (with Fred Willard, Patricia Heaton and William H. Macy), stuff by dependably funny people such as Harry Shearer and Bruce McCall, an in-your-face instructional show called You Suck at Photoshop and the self-explanatory Cookin' with Coolio. More professional than YouTube and less schlocky than much of what's on the networks and cable, My Damn Channel is damn good TV.
