Was so happy to see this show was back on. I loved the first two seasons. I knew the show would definitely take a hit loosing Bill Hader, but didn’t expect such a drastic decline...
The episodes I’ve seen so far of Season 3 haven’t been funny at all...
Sucks, was a really great show at one point.
Yeah, three was disappointing.
I don't think I even finished the season to be honest.
Put the Taffy Down Tubby Tammie.
Bump.
Only because I am upset others haven't posted about how disappointing the season was.
pluto.tv a free app is showing all seasons.
Judge for yourselves.
I liked Long Gone, Waiting for the Artist, and Batsh*t Valley.
It's probably the weakest season but all of them have been uneven.
And I can understand why the show might not click with most since you must know the docs being parodied inside and out to really appreciate it.

I know it's more than just Bill Hader and Fred Armisen producing these, but I'm 4 episodes through this season and it's striking how little of them there is. Fred shows up in episode 4. Haven't seen Bill yet. There's something to make me laugh in every episode so far, but not hysterically. It seems like they have more money to play with (Michael Keaton, Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchette?) but I enjoyed it more when it was Bill and Fred doing characters.
Batshit Valley - good two part episode. I liked the Michael Keaton interview bits. The stuff about the sign "We agreed to be here. Love, The Apples" getting the Shawbardites so mad was funny. And some of the escalating steps like installing speed bumps every 30 feet were funny.
Co-Op: Original Cast Recording - Just so-so. The one thing that I found hilarious was John Mulaney's tortured exhortation to the singer on how she pronounces the word "ruin".
Waiting For The Artist - Took awhile to get going but ended up having some pretty funny parts. Performance art/artists are certainly ripe for skewering. Some of the pieces made me laugh, like The Bucket Series and the one with Dimo sitting at the table eating while she tries over and over to get to the table, only to be snapped back by a bungee cord. And the different takes by arists/critics were spot on. The feminist critic complaining about "a man interrupting a woman's performance" when it was the one nice thing Dimo was shown to have done in the whole episode was to typical.
Finished up S3, and it is a step down from prior ones unfortunately. But I still enjoyed it.
Searching For Mr. Larson - I love The Far Side, so was interested in this. Good to see Fred back as the main character in an episode, and the way he was with his wife was funny. But that was about it.
Long Gone - jazz humor. Fred's good at portraying the insular dickishness of some artists and did that well here. The Natasha Lyonne interview bits were good.
Any Given Saturday Afternoon - now this was more like it. Still didn't rise to the level I had hope for. A documentary on professional bowling could have been great. I liked seeing Bobby Moynihan, and Tim Robinson was good as the bad boy of bowling. Probably the best overall episode of the season.
