The newest show, "On Begley Street", is a web series that follows actor and environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr., his wife Rachelle Carson-Begley and their daughter Hayden as they attempt to build the greenest and most sustainable home under North America's LEED Platinum Certified standards. "On Begley Street" will air for the first time on September 15, 2013. New episodes will run weekly, featuring co-stars like Bill Nye the Science Guy, Jeff Goldblum, Sharon Lawrence, and Jason Mraz. Each episode will explore sustainable living and the challenge of balancing comfort with consumption.

"We wanted to show what you could do with a large structure like ours," explains Begley. "And, also, we wanted to show what the average Joe or Jane could do that isn't building a green home, with their existing home. That's why we're so happy to be working with Make It Happen Productions and partnering with evōx Television—I think it's where a lot of people are going to go, to see messages about sustainability and social responsibility."
