FX's new show "Baskets" starring Zach Galifianakis

Anyone watching? I just watched the first 4 episodes and I love it.

I love his friend. She's very funny.

First time I've laughed out loud at a tv show in ages.

I watched the first 3 minutes of the premiere and couldn't stand it any longer. I'll try again some day, maybe.

I love everyone but Zack. Louis Anderson kills it. The female friend kills it. The wife is frustrating, but players her part. But his character is so damn irritating, and not in a Louis CK sort of endearing way. He's just an asshole.

I love it. Easter episode was the best. I really hate Zach's wig. I've always had a crush on him.

It is one of those quietly funny shows. I love it but it's not for everyone. Love Louie Anderson and Martha the most.

Louie Anderson is hysterical . Great show but not for everyone.

Loved mamma Louie and Penelope together on tonight's episode. Penelope must stay. She's an integral part of the show.

Louis Anderson is amazing in this show -- should get an Emmy nom. What a great comeback. He underplays it perfectly, but is clearly having fun.

Louie Anderson as the mom is so funny. This understated comedy is my favourite. As a Brit, rhe dreary American stuff mentioned recursively, such as Costco and Arby's really makes me laugh. Louie though... When he and Martha are talking about what they like to dip "curly fries" in... "blue cheese and ketchup? you mix them? wow" in stiches

Louie Anderson is hysterical. I loved the scene in Costco when he's talking to the French wife. The actress who plays the French wife looked like she was going to burst out laughing, even though she was supposed to be serious. It must be hard to keep a straight face around Louie playing in drag.

Martha: Is there a designated pan for boiling hot dogs?

Martha: Um, we've got about 20 minutes left on the hot dog boil and I'm making rice pilaf.

The low ratings don't surprise me. It's definitely a show aimed at intelligent people, an American minority

The guy who was the French clown instructor had a brother , I met them when we both were still in our teens, really good looking. The show is great and really funny. It is about time Zack G. Got a chance to really show his stuff I have always like him and had a strange attraction to him.

The Basket brothers are the least funny. Martha and Christine Baskets are the show. However, the volleyball tournament was pretty damn funny.

Just discovered this show after Louie's Emmy win.

Very unusual and at times laugh-out-loud funny, but with an underlying sadness.

Season Four premieres tonight at 10 eastern. I was worried it wasn’t coming back after all the Louis CK mess.

by Anonymousreply 17June 14, 2019 12:08 AM

Ok I'm going to try it. The one other time I took a recommendation from DL was The Windsors, which turned out to be hilarious.
