Attention Non HBO - Having FOT

A Youtube dude named ryancorven has been posting high-quality rips of every episode of FotC and no one's yanked them down.
Another guy posted high-quality rips of every episode of Larry Sanders several months ago and no one's yanked those down, either.

I like to imagine there's an HBO lawyer out there with excellent taste in comedy, and he keeps "forgetting" to contact Youtube.
It's a madhouse!

Episode 3

For the Larry Sanders episodes, search for "Larry01", "Larry02", etc...
All 89 of them!

Has anyone seen Eugene Mirman's cameo's in the first couple episodes. Also I heard he is the producer of the show.
Wait... whuuuuuuuuuut?

I saw a guy on the train this morning who looked exactly like Jemaine.

I first saw them on One Night Stand and really enjoyed the songs, but I feel like their songs are my least favorite part of the show. They don't fit into the context of the show sometimes and just feel forced. I did love the season finale with Todd Barry though. If they get around to a season two, I'd love to see more of him and the Doggy Bounce. Especially since Mel and Murray are on the Crazy Dogggz bandwagon.

Yeah, i think my least favorite part of the show became the songs.  Also, the "handsome" conchord had a real shit-eating expression he used a lot that started to drive me up the wall by the end of the season.

I never saw the "Bowie" episode, but I've heard the song and it's a whole lot of not funny.  As is listening to it via sound opinions podcast, with Jim DeRogatis trying to tell the other egghead WHY it's funny.

The songs were really hit-or-miss. The ones that hit were great though.

I also think Jemaine is the real brains behind the operation, and Bret is just eye-candy. People will say "but he's the normal one! Jemaine just gets all the best lines! blah blah blah. Even when Bret is given a funny line, he steps all over it with his utter lack of comedic timing.

I wish they'd use the minor characters more. Mirman as the landlord and Arj Barker's characters are both hilarious.

I'm excited for season 2.

Yeah, the Bowie song sucks. I can't believe they left "If You're Into It" off the album.

This is a show I assumed I would hate because it's the hipster-est. But I ended up enjoying it, against my wishes. Kudos, gentlemen, for winning me over.
