(They're not really spoilers but I want you to experience this stuff in the show first.) I love it when comedians do something really creative, and perhaps off-putting to the general public, and it pays off. I scrolled past this on Amazon and it intrigued me because I like Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, but I assumed it had been a hit and miss because it only had 7 reviews, which averaged 4 stars (pretty low for amazon I thought). I was wrong. When I eventually watched it, I found that it is a really funny, creative and intriguing show. I also thought it would be a sketch show, but it's not. Sure, they explore different characters who are played by the same people every episode, but the story develops (as much as it can in just twenty minutes) in a way I don't often see in this type of comedy. It's not just funny, I actually want to know how the episode ends. I love the premise. It's cool that it allowed them to have the freedom to really do whatever they wanted, like SPOILERS FROM NOW ON: have characters be killed off within the first few minutes. ANOTHER SPOILER: "Their dog is a chicken" made me laugh so much that I now find it completely unamusing (apparently, unamusing is not a word - did not know that).
