Stopped watching after the Vegas episode. Terrible. First season was funny though.

The fact that no one has mentioned Archer yet means no one is getting choked tonight!

Ok I've watched 3 episodes so far and I have to agree that this is the best comedy on television.

Also, cool to see a Joffrey Reynolds reference. Getting the recognition he deserves from the Americans.

FX legitimately has 3 (and maybe more) of the best comedies on TV right now. Archer and Always Sunny are unbelievable, I just got into The League which is right up there, and they also have the dry humor in Wilfred and Louis (I've seen a couple eps of each, both also very funny).

It's a shame we don't have FX in Canada yet.

True, but the show is written and directed by an American couple. Plus Jon Lajoie is French.

Just noticed the Tags, horrible. The League may be awesome, but Parks and Rec. is a top 3 comedy.

Also, just watched the scene where Kevin flips out after losing on the missed field goal. Best scene ever of the history of television.

Just finished season one. Thanks for bringing this show to my attention SCUD, it is excellent. I loved when Shiva caught Ruxin (or whatever) with the trophy and he says "listen, I can explain, but it is not going to make you feel any better".

So i'm on the season 2 finale (bought season 1 and 2 on itunes after reading this thread) and i'm definitely glad I did.

I don't think it's better than Parks and Rec but it's definitely in the conversation for the best comedy on TV. Also, it's got me wicked excited for the NFL season starting in 3 weeks!

I think he was making a joke about French-Canadians not being real Canadians. On a side note, I saw Lajoie's stand-up/concert show last year at UofA, classic.

Gotta start watching this show, especially with my obsession for fantasy football returning the last week or so.
