Bob Dylan Interactive TV with Maron, Property Brothers, Pawn Stars and more!

So many channels, so little to watch — unless you're a fan of Bob Dylan. This fantastic interactive video imagines that every show was nothing but Dylan and his classic song, "Like A Rolling Stone." Use your directional keys to surf through the program guide and see everyone from the Pawn Stars, Maron and even The Property Brothers lip-sync within the context of their typical episodes. We also get Price Is Right, a History Channel doc, some generic kids, news and sports channels, but the best ones might be the video channels: One shows a vintage live clip of Dylan himself, the other stars Danny Brown, who gets trippy with the matzo.

Actually, who am I kidding. The best one is Property Brothers, which I like to think is Dylan's favorite show.
