Portlandia?


The more I see about this new abomination called "Portlandia" the more I want to kick my TV set in. Fred Armisen AND some ginch from faux-lesbian-chic Sleater-Kinney? What kind of video-Nazis would foist this twee piece of "indie" preciousness on us. Go back to Canadian TV where you obviously belong. Fred Armisen has always seemed to me to be someone who, while they know how to ACT funny, doesn't have an actual sense of humor. Someone who likes to "deconstruct" comedy and "get down to the basics of what's makes us laugh." Well, Fred Armisen falling down a man-hole would make me laugh. (BTW, Natalie Portman also strikes me as someone who knows how to act "funny" or "sexy" or "sad" or "happy" but when the cameras are off she shuts-down faster than C3PO in Luke Skywalker's workshop.)
