I admit that I watch it sparingly, but this has to be the best satire I've ever seen. Credit to the editors for keeping it tight and quick. This is really a clever show, IMHO...

It is far too smug for me to find it funny

definitely an acquired taste, but I've watched every episode at least twice.

I feel like I've seen the 1st episode a thousand times but have no desire to watch the rest of it

It fills me with rage because it is preventing Sleater-Kinney from getting back together and recording a new album.

Actually, I think it's funny, but you have to know the people it is parodying... they ain't making it up.

It's really funny.

Whoever called it smug is really missing the point.

I have watched about 5 episodes. It's a foreign culture to South Louisiana. I can't relate to any of the absurdities they portray.

I liked the BSG one and I've only seen about 10 minutes of the new BSG.

I was there for Ronald D Moore (also lots of Star Trek connections with that guy.)

Board responses so far surprise me. This show is hilarious. BSG is one of their best but the season finale when the did the "making of" the previous episode "Brunch at Fishermans Porch" had me dying.

Kyle Maclachlan as the mayor is hilarious. If you've really tried it and don't like it I get that but don't give up after one episode. It's worth sticking with it.
