Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are comedic powerhouses and I sincerely hope they continue to share their talents with the world. This show is a great lesson in all sorts of comedy ranging from improv to post-irony, but it's the satire that shines the most. This show manages to be stupid and brilliant at the same time. I'm willing to bet money that quite a few of the next great comedy writers will have taken notes and inspiration from Portlandia. I have so much respect and admiration for all of the folks that were involved with the show. This has been, and probably will be the show that I always come back to for comfort and a good laugh.
