i would watch titus andromegan watch things for hours, like when he's watching the trial. the faces!

Facial expressions by Kimmy and Titus totally make this show.

Somebody with better video/audio editing skills should mash up "Pinot Noir" with "Immigrant Song."

Watched the first three eps and enjoyed them. Show very much feels like a YA introduction to 30 Rock's style of jokes/patter. I also get the feeling that they're deliberately not going getting any dirtier to change the rating away from a TV-14, even if the hyperfire refs pull from decades old pop-culture.

I dunno about that. They shot the first season thinking it would be on network TV. They're shooting the 2nd season knowing it'll be on netflix.

i am curious at what point in production they knew it was going to be on Netflix and not NBC. i'm pretty sure it was before they did episode 9, which has a winking referencing to "binge watching [a sitcom] on Netflix."

i definitely had a problem with the theme song at first - so hokey! - but i got used to it.

my gf is obsessed with the theme tune, sings it all the time

FE-males are STRONG-AS-HELL

3 eps in and not entirely sold on this, though i like most of the actors. if i remember it took at least half a season for me to really like 30 Rock though. fave part so far was "Hashbrown: no filter"

Obviously entitled "Kimmigrant Song."

I don't know how I'd react -- probably badly -- to a Tina Fey project with swears in it.

Guys.... Dong Nguyen is also the name of the creator of Flappy Bird

"That was the fanciest sentence I ever heard, and I used to watch Frasier"

This show is pretty cool, hits a lot of the New Yorkers-joking-about-flyover-country type humor that 30 Rock had. Lots of killer one-liners.

Cool thing is the country bumpkin stuff isn't the main focus so much as, as has been pointed out, satire of oppression, class dynamics, etc.

Can someone confirm that Xanthippe also plays Kymmi

nope

Kymmi is actually Kiernan Shipka who plays Jon Hamm's character's daughter on Mad Men

I don't understand, why would they get the same actress to play two different characters?

I guess that Netflix Budget ain't NBC budget

they aren't the same actress? unless you're having a larft

Idk man it's just kinda bizarre

Like they didn't think anyone would notice

Xanthippe and kymmi never appear in the same episode together

And then at then end in dernsville kymmi disappears

Martin Short was kind of freaking me out. Funny though! Ever since Inner Space he has been on this body horror comedy thing.

all white girls look same dot com

This show is pretty awesome! I loved 30 Rock and this has that same rhythm of comedy to it, it's so freakin' quick and snappy.

Loved them pretending to be rich in that expensive restaurant, with the cardboard laptop and the faux-French "Beyonce'"

"Who is coming to this party? Fancy Manhattan-os? They're going to notice that my cummerbund is just a piece of automobile tire."

"I've been watching you, Kimmy"
"I know, that's why I was picking my nose earlier, to gross you out. Burnt!"

Oh god, the Ghostbusters references.

this is excellent, the "passing" theme is really well integrated imo

The Bob Dole t-shirt in the headshot

yup

I liked the photoshop she did for their Christmas card, where he husband was shaking someone's hand and the hand wasn't cropped out.

Kind of feel like going to Olive Garden. This show is insidious.

I like Tim Blake Nelson in this! He is taking an Earnest-type character one step further into realistic profound stupidity -- and that was offputting at first, but ended up being very, very funny to me.

I like Tim Blake Nelson in this!

Agreed! Anyone who hates on "GRATEFUL CAT MARRIES HERO COP" is some kinda commie.

OK I can't read most of this because I'm only like 5 episodes in but I really really like it. Titus! He's my favorite character in forever. "Ok, I'm not a handyman but that was my nickname one summer on Fire Island." Also, "Pinot Noir" was amazing. I love Carol Kane so so much and Jane K is great. It's sort of hit or miss for me still but a lot of fun overall.

"fave part so far was "Hashbrown: no filter" - Yes, so good!

I watched and definitely enjoyed this muchly. I can't say i unequivocally loved the show - the race/stereotype jokes are troubling, and there were a lot of bits that just died (Tim Blake Nelson) but I can.. almost... forgive them because this show is darker, unapologetically feminist (maybe?) and thematically ambitious than 30 Rock

I guess I want to applaud them for trying to do better than a just being a joke machine (for instance, as much as Krakowski's Native American backstory has been criticized, I actually liked it) and the themes about overcoming trauma and the eternal disguise are pretty well played. there is some risk taking here that wouldn't have made it to network TV, and i bet the next season - designed only for Netflix - will be even better

but I also want to slap them for being so goddamn lazy about so many jokes, so many lampshaded excuses... ("that's still racist, Kimmy!" "of course I know what an airplane is, I was in the Air Force!")

the arthur chu piece linked in the long duk dong thread is pretty on point, though I don't know if I would trust Fey & co. to actually use his suggestion of making Dong even more of a stereotype and turning it inside out without completely messing it up
