Portlandia just got picked up for a second season, and I am so glad it has! My girlfriend and I have been keeping up with the series, and it is so funny. Many of the character types on this show I see a lot of in Seattle, but this show makes me want to move to Portland and retire as a young person. Fred Armisen (from SNL), and Carrie Brownstein (of Sleater-Kinney) make up this comedy duo. For Portlandia, these two comics refined and recreated many of the skits found in their Thunder Ant series with great success. I think our favorite skits involve the feminist bookstore. We keep quoting "every time you point I see a penis" at each other, and my girlfriend is thinking of getting an indigenous paint-suit for formal occasions. My girlfriend loves the fact that the mayor of Portland is played by Kyle MacLachlan, who plays her favorite character on Desperate Housewives.
