Needs its own thread even if just for the Co-Op episode.

Love this show. The Abramovic one was so great as well. Some of the episodes have the most satisfying resolutions of basically any sitcom out there. That final scene where the Blue Jean Committee meets backstage at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame and he gets a sixpack of Catalina Coolers. Beautiful.

As an undying fan of Grey Gardens, tho ... that's not my favorite ep.

Of the ones I've seen this season, Co-Op is good, The Far Side one is not, and I turned off the Wild Wild Country parody after 10 minutes.

Yeah, the Far Side one was one joke that kept on going. I admire it for it's savagery, there's a lot of documentary films like that, but it was mean and samey. Loved Batshit Valley, though.

Juan Likes Rice & Chicken was my favorite of the first season.

Hader as James Carville in the War Room ep is one of the funniest visuals of the last few years to me.

Something about the ending of Juan makes me laugh so much. I think it might be because someone having to run a restaurant on their own is one of the most hackneyed sitcom plots, so there are so many comic ways it could go, but... it just turns out that he's the best chef ever, even better than his father, and then they have the sweetest reunion at his brothers. I don't know why that's so funny, but it is.

Got to give the production people props on the look of "The Globesmen" episode, I thought that one looked really good.

I finally dipped into this show to watch "The Globesmen," and yeah, they really nail the look and vibe of Salesman and it is very funny, but Salesman is just as funny
