KTLA's Marcia and Dr. Rick give good ... advice

Over at KTLA.com (also, of course, owned by LAT owner Tribune Co.), Marcia Brandwynne and Dr. Rick Shuman are running a snappy and engaging Webisodic advice show called, what else, "Sound Advice."

Brandwynne, a former reporter and anchorperson who's now a life coach, and Shuman, a dashing psychotherapist, have a crackling sort of chemistry that allows them to give a fresh spin to age-old agony aunt questions ("What is happiness?" "Should I date her even though she's overweight?" and of course, "My co-worker smells.").

Each 3-4 minute episode (there are about 70) addresses one viewer question, and allows just enough time for Branwynne and Shuman to spar a little bit ("men are pigs" Brandwynne jokes after he reveals he wouldn't date a big woman) before coming to a friendly consensus about how to answer the letter.  It's always good to see savvy Web media emerge from unexpected places.
