Every so often a new web series comes out that is heralded as an "all  new type of interactive experience!"  It's not.  Increasingly though,  networks are doggedly putting money behind webisodes that supplement  their main content (like FOX did partnering with AT&#38;T to release the  Touch-offshoot web series Daybreak this  summer).  Interacting with televisions shows over the internet and  through other media is nothing new - we do it with our fan forums and  sub-reddits and frantic "did you just see that??" texts to friends.  The  difference here is that there is a desire to both control and quantify  that experience through specifically supported forums and other tie-ins  that are created and moderated by the network or studio.  Again though,  what else is new?

What makes the upcoming Electric City interesting - it being the latest attempt at a mainstream web series - is Tom Hanks.  For more on the project (which is hosted by Yahoo! and will be paired  with apps that offer a related role-playing game as well as digital  comic books to expand the mythology, etc - that's the "interactive"  part), and my take on its first ten episodes, hit the jump.

Tom Hanks serves not only as the creative force behind the scenes of  the dystopian series, but also lends his voice to its lead character.   The series has a sci-fi bent to it, taking place in a world that reminds  one strongly of ...]]></description>

In Yahoo’s first ever scripted show, Tom Hanks will not only play the creative force behind-the-scenes but will also lend his voice to the lead character. Electric City, an animated sci-fi series, is a production of Reliance Entertainment and Playtone, a TV and film company owned by Hanks and Gary Goetzman.

If successful, the property could find other avenues of media, such as games, home video, TV and perhaps even a feature release. The first look at Electric City will be at this week’s CES in Las   Vegas. Hit the jump for more.

THR reported on Hank’s involvement with Electric City and the partnership with Yahoo. Speaking about the project, Yahoo vice president and head of video Erin McPherson had this to say:

It is animated and it has a science fiction bent and in that way, like all great science fiction, it definitely plays on what is the best type of society to live in and themes around energy usage, conservation and sustainability."
In regards to content, she went on to say that:
