Curious what my fellow Bob & David fans are watching on tubes these days, of the "cult comedy" variety, to get their sketch comedy (or just alternative comedy) fix?
I was watching "Wonder Showzen" and "Tim & Eric Awesome Show" while they were showing new ones. Not too much more beyond that. Also been re-watching "Arrested Development" on IFC.
Any good suggestions?
Most are now off the air:
Arrested development
30 rock
The state
Strangers with candy
Reno 911
Still airing:
It's always sunny in Philadelphia
Portlandia
Parks and recreation
The mindy project

Anyone else watching "The Birthday Boys"? Odenkirk produces it and discovering it gave me the same feelings and laughs I had when I first watched Mr. Show.
shareLately I've been into Portlandia.
shareBetter Call Saul. I'm still watching Bob's stuff. Been a fan of his since Ben Stiller show
shareRe-watching 'Get A Life' with Chris Elliott. Brilliant. Also 'Arrested Development' for the umpteenth time.
shareStrictly in terms of comedy: Venture Bros, Archer, Last Week Tonight, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny, Black-Ish, Brooklyn 9-9.
sharePersonally, sketch has died out on TV for the most part. For a while after Mr. Show, I was all about UCB. I still am but more in live performances because the show lasted only 3 seasons. The big show I watch to replace Mr. Show are, It's Always Sunny, The League, American Dad (Roger's characters are basically sketch drag), and the new Wet Hot American Summer episodes are great as well.

We have a lot of cool comedy shows.

"Life's Too Short" with Warwick Davis. Warwick is a genius comedy actor. I'm disappointed it was only one season. Another show I adore is "Flight of the Conchords". My all time fave though is "The Office (USA)".
