I love Sweet Dee in this show 

Super necro quote, but yes she’s great.  I fucking laughed so hard at the scene when she was playing the Jurassic Park theme on the piano. It was one of those things that was just so absurd and specific I wonder if it came from real life.

We haven’t started season 2 yet, but really looking forward to it.

The First 2 reps were great.  I'm so glad it's back 

This show is so, so damn good. We are through the lesbian cruise episode. I love everybody on this show. I thought Laurie Metcalf's brief run as tour manager "Weeds" was terrific and I think Miss Loretta is hilarious. I loved her line about Joe being a possible girls' name due to her being familiar with the book "Little Women" where she said, "I went to school with white folk." LOFL

Damn. That finale hit. I hate how short this is 

Didn't help that both were short episodes. It's like they ran out of story and decided to split the finale in half. Hope S3 gets done.

Watched both seasons these last few weeks. Big fan, great casting, good writing, pretty darn funny. Only thing I truly hated was Jimmy's assistant. She wasn't funny or interesting in any way, just loud and obnoxious, and not in a way that is in any way remotely enjoyable. I also wish the tweet that got her blackballed was more interesting or believable, the way it was explained was pretty tame, and it's not like she's a celebrity herself, just a writer. Surely a writer's room wouldn't care about it if she was that good of a writer. Otherwise, no complaints. I'm ambivalent about the possibility of a third season. It seemed to end perfectly and I would hate to see them start reaching for plot lines like so many shows that try too hard and go too long.

Deborah finally gets her talk show.

 

that was our thought, however unrealistic. 

wish the ava character was funnier, since she’s supposed to be a super talented comedy writer. 

she’s the worst character on a show that’s near flawless otherwise.

FInished. Great show. I guess.... that's good that they are coming back for a season 3 but honestly that was a perfect ending for the series.

Finally caught up on the last couple of episodes. Like said, that was pretty much the perfect ending for the series, but if they can push out that kind of quality for another season or more I am in.

Don't have much to add other than really excited.  This show has the right amount of feels with brutal humor.  I can't wait to show my oldest this series in a few more years.  she's got great comedic instincts.  But weekly, repeats stuff "the boys said on that playground..."  And I have to explain to her than 90% of people think they're funny and they're not.  But this show, and Tina Fey, and Maya Rudolph, and Poehler, and Jane Curtain, and Iliza, and Gilda, and Tig, and Peretti, and so many others, and plenty of male comics too.  Laughter is the best when it slices into your heart but then heals it back up again and sends you off to school. 

The best comedy makes you think long and hard or makes you cry long and hard.  The laughter part is just a side effect if the drug.

I’m really looking forward to this. I assumed it was done after S2 and hadn’t heard S3 was even being worked on, much less coming out within a few days of finding out.

I really liked this show, and still do, but I always hated the part where Deborah gave the misogynistic piece of shit 1.69 million dollars to never perform again. I mean seriously? Shit if that happens, I assume dozens of pieces of shit, comedians and non comedians, would show up at her shows looking for a payday, or at least disrupt the shit out of things. Not to mention an asshole gets rewarded for fucked up behavior. Just seemed like the writer's room was like' "Eh fuck it, let's make this piece of shit a millionaire and move on, because she can't stop them all!"

Fuck I love this show 

Agreed. I enjoy every character’s story line. Nothing is out of place. 
 

jimmy and the assistant crack me up. 
 

Deb and Ava back and forth 

even SWA was funny. 
 

hilarious when they all looked at her to answer white people questions
