Wow that is great news! Can we get an Undergrads reboot next?
My favourite clone high episode is the one where Joan joins the basketball team as John Dark and JFK becomes very confused. So many good jokes.
Interesting it is coming back years after being an early victim of cancel culture. The press release doesn’t mention Gandhi so I wonder if that character will be removed. It was hilarious having Gandhi as a zany ADD high schooler but I guess they could find another historical figure with a similar comedic impact that does not offend the world’s largest 2nd most populated nation.

I stumbled upon a show called Party Down recently just scrolling through Hulu. It's an old Starz show from 2009, but it's surprisingly great. It follows a catering company in the L.A. area that consists almost entirely of wannabe showbiz people (actors, comedians, writers etc.). The cast is excellent and the writing is solid. Adam Scott and Lizzy Caplan are the pseudo-leads in this ensemble that also has Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Jane Lynch, and Megan Mullally.
Unfortunately, it only lasted 2 seasons as cast members Lynch and Scott had other, larger, commitments to adhere to (Glee and Parks&Rec). But, it's a rock solid 2 seasons with little to no filler and some great guest stars. It reminds me of some other workplace comedies like The Office, 30 Rock, and Parks & Rec, but definitely a lot more risqué. I highly recommend. Available on Starz and Hulu.
As always, the trailer doesn't do it justice because they can't put any of the dirty or really funny bits in it.

Party Down was created by Rob Thomas, who also created Veronica Mars, so there is crossover between the casts of the two shows.
Party Down is available on Crave in Canada (as is Veronica Mars, if you've never seen it --- don't let the fact that it's a "high school" drama dissuade you from watching, its first season is one of the best tv seasons I've ever seen).

Working my way through Hannibal on the recommendation of others here. Nearing the end of season 2 and I’m pretty into it.
This is a dark, heavy show and not much joy or levity at all. There are a couple of characters who are in for comic relief and they fall flat unfortunately.
The amount of murders, and how elaborate they are can be a little overwhelming. But this is a well put together show with some great talent on the screen.

Also created by Paul Rudd.

On my own advice my wife and I are re-watching it.
So...so good. I cant believe this show was on Network Television.
I cant even think about how many times I say to myself: "This was on TV!"
"We cant show smoking, we cant have swearing....but that guy has been disemboweled and his guts are all over the place."
Yes. Thats fine. Just no smoking!

“Detroiters” is really good. It has a very “Flight of the Conchords” vibe. Except without the musical sections.
It's pretty exceptional and a shame it only lasted 2 seasons. Tim Robinson jumped onto my radar with I Think You Should Leave (Netflix), and after watching Detroiters it's clear this guy needs to be given more creative vehicles.
Maybe even one that ####s itself.

I’ve been watching The Office (US) again. Season 3 is just delightful and is on my list of best TV seasons ever. It builds on the excellent 2nd season with so many hilarious moments. Also it has some brilliant character development with a very heart warming ending and an unexpected twist.
Season 4 is also good but you can start to see cracks showing with an over reliance on cringe humour and a further dumbing down of Michael hurting realism and relatability.
