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.

nine months pass...

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

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!
