Hard to Swallow
I was doing some web surfing, when I stumbled upon this pretty funny web series pilot, about a small town pharmacy. It will have its controversy, but I think many of us can relate to the humor it provides. We all need ot laugh once in a while, and I think will definitely put a smile on many of your faces.
