Episode Four (I think) is my fave yet.  Armisen demonstrating how dangerous turning off a light can be and the "krazy" ad agency bit made me laugh out of my mouth.

I'm gonna bite: As opposed to what?

Well, now I feel self-conscious.

It's when one talks out of one's ass that one should worry.

I loved in last night's episode when Fred said "I think you might know a friend of mine." I had a hipster acquaintance a while back who had a five minute introduction to my girlfriend at the time consisting of trying to figure out if she knew any of his friends and how close his Fishtown apartment was to her NoLibs apartment. As Tom would say "These are rich kid hipster problems."

* It's not like Seattle's "Almost Live" where they have to force everything to be This City, This City, This City, with more local references than your stomach can take... this is a totally different thing. This could really be any bohemian town, or even a large city with a bohemian neighborhood.  Portlandia is just a name here.

I had almost forgotten about that show. :D

As far as the anytown of it, I agree: it could pretty much be anywhere in the Northwest where they put a bird on it.


I hadn't even heard of Almost Live! so i checked out some clips on youtube and it was so local it isn't even funny. I did laugh at the politically correct bit though.

Merely a general observation.

The final two episodes kinda fell flat.

Some of the bits got really Tim and Eric-y but I still liked all of it.

All in all, I didn't like it.  I thought it was smug.  It was of a piece with what it was lampooning.

I hope Portlandia airs for at least six seasons.
