Check out the official trailer for Bucking Sailboat Season One! We're going to be launching the show this autumn, so be sure to stay tuned! 
Check it out!
The trailer for Bucking Sailboat Season One! It's been a long time in coming, but we're finally approaching go time for Bucking Sailboat. And that, dear friends, is very exciting for all of us over here.
I, personally, am very pleased with how the trailer turned out. We even built the entire thing from scratch! No stock footage, no stock music, all original.
I don't even know how many hours I spent composing and arranging the soundtrack for the trailer. But it was a lot.
So, if you haven't already, check out the trailer! But don't stop there! Check the “Media Downloads” section for all kinds of goodies! We have:
» Downloadable video! Put it on your iPod and play it for your friends!
» Soundtrack MP3! Enjoy the trailer's soundtrack? Download it and share it with your friends!
» Desktop Wallpaper! Slap it on your computer desktop and gaze at it lovingly for hours on end! (Er, or something.)
We're giving all this awesomeness to you for a reason though…
See, this video release is a big deal for all of us over here at Markley Bros. Entertainment, so please remember to spread the word and share this video with all your friends! (Try using the ShareThis widget below to post to Facebook, Twitter, etc.!)
Seriously. If we have to beg, we will.
Thanks!

About Ohioville!
The Geek said:
In my listening to the Malex Minute and watching this trailer, I wonder, is Ohioville a city, or a state, or a nation, or a world by itself? Ok, obviously it is in a fictional world all its own, but in that world, what is it?
Aha, the question!
Ohioville is, as you put it, a fictional world all its own. But it has some properties, definitely, that make it a bit unique.
See, depending on the context, Ohioville functions as all of the above. It is a city, a state, and a nation. But there are always other cities, states, and nations. It just happens to be the one we're interested in. And no matter where you live, Ohioville should seem vaguely familiar.
One thing about Ohioville, though – which is not like the real world – is this sense of brokenness that shows up everywhere you turn. Ever notice how insane things always seem to happen to Malex, Linus, and Snuffy in the Malex Minute? They bring it upon themselves a lot, but a lot of times it's just because of Ohioville.
Ohioville is full of broken people and it's run by a broken political system. Its buildings are falling down, its weather is often catastrophic, it has monsters everywhere, and anywhere you look you're very likely to find a wormhole, demon, or a shady vendor selling Wonderflonium Window Cleaner under the train tracks.
Bucking Sailboat, as I have mentioned before, is a sketch comedy show. It's not about characters or situations, it is just a snapshot of Ohioville.
Make sense?
ttyl!

Thanks!
That's so great! And we've gotten such an overwhelmingly positive response so far, too... It's all very exciting.

I can't wait!!
I'm really excited for the Bucking Sailboat stuff! You guys are so much funnier on video than audio. So I'm ready to laugh myself sick when you guys start putting out videos!
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest- Owl City
oh my,
I feel like I just talked with one of my friends. I am horrified, confused, but strangely curious and want to see more.
Also, interesting new logo animation.

Should we be insulted?
Everything looks perfect from far away.
Wow.
Not exactly what I expected from the Bucking Sailboat and yet...entirely what I expected from the Markley Brothers. I'm intrigued and can't wait for my favorite season to roll around so I can see more!!
Feels like you guys are making progress and I can see it now! ^__^ I'm excited to see what will come next.
It's good to be back =)
Praise the Lord! Hallelu!
I don't care what the devil's gonna do!
The Word and faith is my sword and shield
And Jesus is Lord of the way I feel!
Hooray!
I'm so glad you guys are feeling the tug of the boat!
I know our big changes, with the web site and the hiatus and lots of stuff going away, all felt super drastic and probably like ten steps backward. I hope now you can all now see things coming together the way we've dreamed for so long that they would!
Stay tuned! Lots of massive stuff coming!

YAY!!!
This is really exciting. I know how long and hard you guys have been working toward making this a reality, and I'm so thrilled to see it coming together at last.
Ho,ho! Tug! Boat! TUGBOAT!!! That's funny!
Ohioville is a state. Of mind. Ha, ha, ha!!!
Okay. I think I've gotten all of that out of my system now. Sorry for the interlude. Back to my comments on the trailer.
The music is amazing, Alex. And no matter how often I watch the trailer, I still think it's funny. Great work!
We should take our comfort from God's word, not from the circumstances of our lives.
Tug of the Boat
I have to say, I share Alex's feelings - I'm really glad you guys are sensing the hype and enjoying the sneak peeks.

Digg says it is not letting
Digg says it is not letting new people join for some reason. It said something about a new site and that they'll email about when you can join.

Soundtrack
Also, the soundtrack turned down is good background study music.
P.S. I hate summer school health class thingy
Whee!
I'm glad to hear that!
I've been really enjoying listening to movie soundtracks lately, and I'm always learning more about how to compose and arrange such things. I really do feel like this trailer soundtrack is on the very cutting edge of what I currently know, so I'm glad to hear that others are enjoying it. 
I also feel less weird now for listening to it myself on a loop in the background. <_< … >_>
