Plot and Background
Poor Paul follows ‘Paul’ and his college-aged roommates in an episodic comedy format.[1]
Justin is annoyingly smart, Clyde is a neat freak and alcoholic, Bonnie is Clyde's sister who seems to like Paul, and Paul creates outrageous fantasies in order to escape life. Paul tries to deal with Justin’s “I’m better-than-everyone” attitude and Clyde’s obsessive, compulsive side. In Paul's fantasies he is always the hero – the only man in the universe who can save the day.
The show debuted in October 2008.[2][3]
The second season of the show began in June 2009,[4] and Jessica Lee Rose of lonelygirl15 joined the cast in September 2009.[5]
The show was also a 2009 Webby Awards honoree for best writing.[6][7]
