    This show is freaking hilarious. I don't think anybody's brought it up yet. Just watched the latest episode and its by far the best so far. Anybody else seen this?

    I don't have HBo up here at school, but I saw previews for it over the summer and I wanted to see it. Does anyone have a link to watch it?

    I watched 3 eps and i was bored to death. Awful show, Ted Danson is only acting like actor, the main actor have only one facial expression - :(

    It started off kind of slow, but I think it got a little better lately.

    Nothing really to write home about.

    It's funny. Seems like a trend to pair an old, established actor with a young comic these days.

    This and Curb Your Enthusiasm are my two favorite shows at the moment.

    jason schwarzman is an acquired taste, no doubt about it. I saw the Russian Lounge episode where Ted Danson decides to "try" to be "bi"

    it was a hilarious episode, and Zach G. is awesome in this show...

    Always wanted to watch this because I'm a huge Galifianakis fan. Got HBOGo so I gave it a go. Pretty decent show, solid writing, good acting. Not laugh out loud hilarity like other shows but it has a subtle charm to it. On season 2 now, hopefully this season ends strong so I'm looking forward to season 3 in October.

    Good show - not great, but good. The kind of thing I like to watch by myself, because as mentioned above, it's more chuckle-to-yourself than it is laugh-out-loud funny.

    And is also a completely different brand of comedy.

    Anyone watch the Season 3 Finale? Will there be a Season 4? Pretty bold if the show ends like that.

    Incest? WTF! Even if it's with the lovely Isla Fisher

    I call Bored To Death high brow elitist pothead comedy.

    it has grown more absurd and brilliant with each season.

    i saw the creator Jonathan Ames (he played Irwin in Season 2) on the streets of NYC and called him out like the nut that he is.

    I predict George is somehow Isla's characters father.
