You rock, Paleo!

@Dirk P. Voetberg: I knew you’d love that. I was thinking it was a Dirk joke the whole time.
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
@SKIM: No! Those aren’t the same glasses. Haha! But I searched high and low to find a nearly identical pair.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:37 am

March 3rd, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Patience is a cutie!

Great show, can’t wait to see what happens next. Keep it up.
March 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
“Madison is more physically attractive.” Ha!!! Love it.
March 6th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Yessssssssssss
March 10th, 2009 at 10:16 am
LOVE THE SHOW!!!
It’s so very funny… and Patience is so lovable! Love the contrast of her light against the very dark, sunny city.
I just have a suggestion. Patience should for whatever reason be acquainted with the not-so pretty side of Los Angeles. I mean… some of us Mexican-folk live in the other places in LA… she should get to know us better!!
Also… Madison is SOOOOO cute! Can’t blame Patience to react the way she does… I’d probably be as inarticulate as her! And then he goes to my school, too!! GO BRUINS! Wish I could see him more often
-Some Gay, Mexican, UCLA-student dude
March 12th, 2009 at 10:23 am
WTF? This is soooo lame!
March 12th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Patience is a doll!! Really adorable! I can’t wait for webisode #5 to post online. I also can’t wait for her to go on auditions. It would be fun to see her successful as an actress and deal with people who realize she is the real deal, and not “acting” as a character named Patience.
March 13th, 2009 at 8:27 am
I LOVE this web-show!! You guys are fabulous. Definitely makes leaving my job today (Friday the 13th! oo! scary!) much easier.
Muah! xox
March 14th, 2009 at 2:00 am
you put a terrific show together! a good balance between amateur and pro, just the kind of serie you wanna find on youtube, to make this media worth… keep up we the good work! we want more!!! just on the edge of being “dramatic and hilarious” serie,
sure you gonna have a fan club soon, if you dont have one aleady, we have a lot of patiences out there in the world who would recognize themselves, male or female….wouldnt it be fun with a male copy of patience who may not have anything to do with her? who chooses to leave the big city for the pureness and quiteness of the countryside?
March 14th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Im hooked, and cant wait to see the next post. Great job.
March 14th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
This show is amazing I looked on what people were watching and randomly found this and I am glad I did. You guys should show Madison with his shirt off more though cause he is soooooo freaking hott!!!!!!!!
March 15th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Can’t wait to see more adventures. Funny stuff here. Nicely put together too. Congrats. D.
March 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Madison is like wierd but awsome at the same time .I wish blondey like dates him or somthing. Oh And like make the shoes longer and more of them . I’m waiting anxiosly for the next episode. Make it more funny like dumb funny. That’s what people with real humor just how u make usally make it. I wish u good luck and I hope u make more videos- Sarah
March 16th, 2009 at 9:40 am
I love the shows just the way they are… I can not get enough!!!! I just wish they were longer. Keep up the great work!
March 16th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Awesome show:) I NEED to see the next one. Hurry! Haha
March 19th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Hey P… I scored a 41 on your St. Patty quiz. So that makes me the ultimate winner!!
I’m thinking my PRIZE could be (drumroll…)
…. A DATE WITH HANK, THE MUSTACHED GHOST!
So how do I collect? EFT4MeDebi
March 21st, 2009 at 9:40 am
This video was recommended by a friend and I am quite impressed. It was quite funny! I am looking forward to another episode.
- Sheila Dee
March 23rd, 2009 at 5:43 pm
NOT ENOUGH! I WANT MORE!
March 23rd, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Your viewers demand more! Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the next episode.
March 24th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
I think your stuff is very funny. I am falling in love with Patience. I wouldn’t be suprised if she gets a gig acting a role of rebellion and decadence as a result of the blitzed head shots. Something like ‘Being There’ (Peter Sellers) where everyone around her thinks she is so totally hip and bad, but she is totally oblivious to the culture of she has become an icon.
Sorry for throwing out story ideas. You are doing a terrific job. Patience is so lovable. I like what you are doing with her and Madison. He is going to play an ever more important role in the story. I also get a kick out of Roxanne and that photographer… that character needs to be her agent or something. He’s a freak! What a hoot!
You guys will be famous. I remember watching “The Simpsons” shorts on the Tracy Ulman show. This show feels like that. Enjoy your fame. Do something good with it. Keep Patience clean and naive. That’s what makes her lovable.
March 25th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Awesome Show !! I can’t wait to see the next show on friday. Maddison is so freakin hot and hope that P gets on that real quick
March 28th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Thank you so much, Ken! I so appreciate your watching the show and taking time to send such kind, encouraging words our way. Being compared to the Simpsons is such an incredible compliment!
April 10th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I absolutely LOVE your show!!! I could literally watch it over and over and over and be completely content!!! My favorite part about this show is how much detail has gone into patience’s character — being obsessed with being irish, stories like Hank the mustached ghost, her always outdated attire, everything! i just can’t get enough of it! you have done such an amazing job building a solid foundation around Patience’s character and the entirety of the show and you are so loyal to your fans! I think it is truly endearing that you keep us updated and that you honestly make an effort to reach out to your fans!!! That is soooo much more than any TV show on television! you go beyond JUST your show!!!! you have built relationships WITH your fans (like me!!!) So thank you so much for your amazing show and your loyalty! This is truly becoming a cult classic and I continue to look forward to fridays because of this show (not just because its the start of the weekend!!!) I give you all an entire BAG of skittles!!! I know patience would!!!!
April 11th, 2009 at 8:24 am
These episodes are just getting better and better. Seriosly, this should be on TV. I would rather watch this than The Office or Earl. I havent turned on the TV in a month, but I make sure to come by leavingbliss.com every week. I really hope you get your work noticed!!
April 14th, 2009 at 11:59 am
i wanna see the “Blitzed” Headshots!

“You look like a two dollar hooker that vomited on too many C**ks!” Another great episode, keep the good work coming!
April 24th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Where’s the new webisode that is to be posted every Friday? What’s the hold up? I love Patience Owen and the way Madison is as well. When are you guys going to go out on a date?
April 25th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Hey there! Thanks for your comment! New episodes come out every other Friday. So, #8 is out May 1st. Thanks for watching!
May 1st, 2009 at 2:43 am
Can’t wait for today’s episode! But I’m won’t be able to see the second it releases… =[ But I bet it’s fantastic like always, so showing my pre-love for it!
May 1st, 2009 at 3:55 pm
This is perfect! When I first moved to LA. I went on an entry level sports marketing interview in Burbank. Basically they ended up kidnaping me and driving me to GOD knows where to go door to door for 8 hours selling car wash coupons. It was horrible and I was to nice and naive to object!!

Haha, I was recruited by one of these companies when I was 17, sold units to my aunt and dad… who I think are still paying them off!!
May 4th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I love your show. It should be on tv. Great job!! Everyone is super talented.
May 16th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Leaving Bliss is consistently entertaining; I never miss a show. Other than the pilot, I did notice the viewing numbers are highest for Episode 5. I have to agree, that Xterra guy is a hoot. Maybe if the Vacuum Cleaner gig doesn’t work out for Patience, she can get a job with Xterra as his temporary assistant. In any case, keep an eye on those numbers, and keep up the good work.
May 16th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I am officially a huge fan. In fact, it’s slightly torturous to have to wait two weeks for my next seven minutes in Bliss heaven. Thank you for creating this and keep ‘em comin’!!!!
May 19th, 2009 at 11:17 am
“Stephanie pephanie full of nephany.”
This line is so stupid.
…I laughed for, like, five minutes.
Kickin’ ass, guys.
May 24th, 2009 at 10:01 am
You guys are fn brilliant. LOVE the mirror part. Reeeeeeeeediculous!! I can’t stop laughing!!!
June 5th, 2009 at 10:58 am
YAY!!! Great Finale all!

June 5th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Selenia and Patience O Owen are sooooo funny! Selenia is a wild woman (but very pretty and petite in real life!). Leaving Bliss is better than anything on TV, other than Head Case and Party Down. Good stuff.
June 7th, 2009 at 8:49 am
I love Selenia in this part! She is really REAL and realistic as the Hispanic neighbor — I know that woman!
June 10th, 2009 at 11:52 am
HILARIOUSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED IT
June 19th, 2009 at 5:14 am
this was hilarious! The part when Patience called her mom and her mom was “busy” it was funny that she thought she would stop smoking. But the most hilarious part was when patience said “Stephanie pephanie full of nephany…” hmmm poor Patience she’s so sad she’s like in love with Madison why dont they just make her prettier (like herself in real life) than he’ll fall for Patience!
August 14th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I liked it. I thought the direction was quick enough to keep me interested. The jokes are funny and cute. I like music by Floggin Molly so I am slighty biased. Keep on keeping on!
August 25th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Congratulations! Awesome, but not at all surprising, news!!

I just watched the season finale and was charmed and delighted as I’ve been all season. The writing, directing, acting and editing are all pitch perfect. Good luck getting season II off the ground. I know you all will find great success down the road.
