Also certain small, smug towns. Blue Hill, Maine, springs to mind, and I bet New Paltz has a bit of it, too (lord knows it had the seventies equivalent way back when).  Also Woodstock, whether New York or Vermont.

New Paltz, NY is hilarious. It's like Mayberry with dreads, vegan pizza and hacky sack. That's not to say I don't like going there once in a while.

I watched the first episode Friday and something about it reminded me of the website Hipster Runoff for some reason, but i liked it.

It sounds like it would be delightful in small doses.  Like fudge.

The latest episode of Judge John Hodgman was pretty on point.  ("Is your dog's name "Meta"?")

I really like the show. I'm from Oregon (not Portland, but Eugene, which is basically a scaled down version), and it's kinda nice to have something to relate to on TV. I like having people ask me if "that's what it's really like in real life". And I live in Chicago now for school, so it helps with the homesickness to see my home state on a regular basis, even if it is through a TV screen.

But on the same token, the show isn't anything incredible. It's just a nice, well-written commentary on Pacific Northwest mentality. And, while exaggerated, it's pretty spot-on.

So that's my two cents.

Where are you guys catching the newer episodes? They don't seem to be on the IFC website and I don't get the channel unfortunately.

From comic's comic:
IFC renews Portlandia for second season, 10 episodes in 2012

Halfway through its initial six-episode order, Portlandia already has become enough of a critical new fave that IFC has renewed the comedy for a full 10-episode, second season, to air in January 2012. Congrats all around. If you're not yet watching it, you should be. Funny stuff from the minds of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.
