Was somewhat interested until last night when I saw they cast Sabina Sciubba as Penelope.



Now I'm in.

It looks really funny. I'm usually not the type to throw new shows into the rotation. I don't even watch much but I mostly look to drop shows that don't do it for me anymore. But I'm gonna watch this.

I had low expectations but ended up laughing my arse off. I hope they can keep it up.

"We make some very fine scooters here in America." "What are you? Lee Greenwood?"

The bit about ordering a drink at the drive-thru window was pretty damned funny.

After seeing the first episode, I have high expectations for the rest of the season. It's obviously more than just comedy, there is a certain sad bitterness about the show and it seems weird but well done. Galifianakis is a pretty damn good actor. Had no idea, until I googled Baskets to see what time it comes on tonight, that Louis CK is one of the creators.

Very Zach, I liked it and I think it has potential. How about Louie Anderson?

I'll have the #57.

Sir, that is the price.

Ah, in that case I'll have the #4.

It was good to see Kato Kaelin too.

Some of those community college courses were interesting: I liked Learn How to Be a Legal Guardian.

I laughed a few times, but I wasn't blown away overall. However I will stick with it because I'm sure it will get better as the season progresses.

Think the dialogue/storyline between Chip and Dale has big potential.

Dale's voice/accent

Missed it because I was watching the new Elementary. I'll have to track it down on On Demand.

Halfway through the pilot. This is the funniest show I've seen in a long while.

I read a review that said the first episode was good, then it goes downhill due to the lack of comedy in the rest of the series. I'll still give it a try, due to the writers and cast, plus I like the story line as well. Pretty funny the male character in drag playing his mom, too, once you realize who that is (Louie Anderson) .

That entire scene was hilarious.

"Tangerine Fanta...... (we don't have that)"
"Just a tab, that's fine ...... (nope)"
"Pepsi Lime............. (we have Coke)"
"New or Classic?......... (Just regular coke)"
"Ok, Schweppes then......... (did you say schweppes?)"
"Yeah, Schweppes............ (can you repeat that one more time?)"

Then he loses it with the schweppes line and gets her to back in so he's closest to the menu.

"Do you have any milk water, like yohoo? ..............(we don't have that)"
"Anything form the Slice family? ................(don't have it)"
"Anything from the Welche's family? ............. (no)"
"Do you have anything that may have any kind of Baha blast in it whether it be Mountain Dew or Pepsi. Anything? ........... (again, no sir)"
"I'll just take a water then."
