721176, Brockmire - Anybody else up on this?

I'm a fan of Hank Azaria so it's good to see him anchor his own show. So far it's pretty freakin' hilarious (mostly because of his voice and character)
721177, I'm loving this show

Hank is killing it, from the moment it started I was in. He totally channeled some VIn Scully with that open. Peta isn't too bad and I'm loving the kid, i'm really hoping this isn't being slept on.
721180, Some of his one liners are hilarious and the delivery is pitch perfect

Comic timing is just about perfect too. I'm in
721373, Ep. 1 - 3 were great. Ep. 4 was just OK

They probably could have mined more out of Brockmire seeing his wife than whipping the crowd into a fight frenzy. Still some good stuff in the ep.
721385, Never been a huge fan of Azaria outside the Simpsons, but this

is a REALLY fun show. His cadence just makes every line hilarious.
721644, Probably my favorite new show this year

Hank's voice absolutely sells the show
729814, This season was even better than the firrst

His eulogy for his father was absolutely brilliant.
729817, I binged the first season a few months ago, dug it.

I should get up on the second. I'll admit I sometimes struggle with live action comedies that play as broadly as this one does but overall I like Azaria and the baseball-man stuff he says so I can mostly get past it. Also, as a barman and whiskey fan, I get a huge kick out of how prominent Sazerac Rye is in the smalltown Pennsylvania setting. I partly wonder if that influenced the move to New Orleans at all (Sazerac Company is based in New Orleans, though the whiskey is distilled in Kentucky).

738612, This show has a Wire-like ability to change with each season

I was initially caught off-guard by the shift in locale and direction in S2 but now I kind of marvel at where this show is at heading into the final episodes of season 4.

I never would have imagined this show now being set in a Verhoevenean near future.

What a ride this has been. It's never matched the hilarity of its first season but the show has been uniformly excellent throughout even as it has become one of the more accurate and pointed satires of our day.
738617, I haven't seen any of Season 4 yet

Season 3 was amazing, so I'm excited for it.
