Ugh, I always wanted to watch Gundam, but it's just too huge. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Most of the newer stuff is trash (SEED/Wing). The older stuff like 0080, 0083, and Gundam X is pretty good. Honestly I'd say the best place to start is with the first season of Gundam 00. Go back and watch SEED for the cool mecha design (backpacks ftw!) if the overabundance of teenage angst does not turn you off immediately.

Teenage angst? I own Evangelion, yo. I can't imagine Gundam would give me a problem. How interconnected are the series? I'm a perfectionist so I've always wondered if I would miss something if I skipped a series or didn't start at the beginning.
 
Most of the series being produced now are standalone, so I'll second ooberallen's recommendation of starting with season 1 of Gundam 00.

The only time you'll have to worry about watching tons of stuff is if you start with the original Mobile Suit Gundam... then there are quite a few TV series and movies that take place in the same universe.

Evangelion has nothing on SEED dude. I Honestly don't see how these kids can effectively fight when their helmets are flooded with tears everytime they get into a mobile suit.

As ExMachina said, the continuity goes as far as some organizations and locations having similar names. They pretty much take place in the same "universe" but its never really directly connected unless you're looking at stuff like Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny. If you want some laughs and super cheesy action you might want to check out G Gundam, I strongly recommend watching the english dub of this.
