Does anyone watch this show? My roommate just introduced me to it this week and I ran through their 12 episodes. Like 30 Rock/Community level dialogue. I still don't understand a decent amount of what they're saying. I can't believe some of it is English, but the stuff I do get is friggin golden.

I wouldn't say 30 Rock by any means, but I get what you're going for. It's certainly a different approach. I love the local color and deadpan combo. Great characterizations in there mixed with "you don't get to see this everyday on tv" concepts.

Great characterizations in there mixed with "you don't get to see this everyday on tv" concepts. Not in terms of the quality of 30 Rock or Community, but the speed and comedy is there. It's clearly a very bare bones production, so I wouldn't expect the caliber of writing of a 30 Rock, but it's damn sure up there.

It's got a lot of good stuff. If it had Jason Lee from Chasing Amy or Mallrats as a foil, it'd be next level golden for me. I could see him going off in situations that the show presents while the deadpan humor rolls onward.

Especially with Reilly and Jonesy, who are fantastic.

My friends and I have become straight up obsessed with this show. I live in a little redneck town in rural Manitoba so we relate a lot to this show. I'm stolen a lot of phrases from this show.
Also, go out and watch the St. Perfect's Day special that came out a week or 2 ago, its legendary

McMurray just gets funnier. I hated him at first, but now he's a hilarious guy to root against.

I'm three episodes into the new season. I like the new dynamic with the hockey team. Mark Forward (a pretty funny standup) is great as the coach.
