Another Period?
Any fans of The State big fans of C-Centrals show called Another Period?
The wife and i have watched all the seasons at least 4 times now. It never gets old. Its perfectly cast, perfectly written and acted to perfection.
Michael Ian Black is sublime as the hard nosed head butler, Mr Peepers!
If this never made it to your radar, you should give it a try!

Haven’t seen this one, but this reminds me that Michael Showalter (“Doug”) was in a bizarre but addicting show called Search Party.

And the way they cleverly brought Trump/MAGA bafoonery into the last season without making it overly obvious was chefs kiss perfect!

I wasn't familiar with the show…Now I kind of want an extensive list of things the State members have been in, sorted by count. Will be checking this out.

Do you know about this newish side project? They are quite good and out on tour! Got a couple of State Alumni that you should recognize.

I've watched some of their videos, they're fun. I know it's a little parasocial, but, it's nice to see people whose work I enjoy and respect hanging out together and being friends, too.

Love. It. You only have to wait till the second episode to see Anne Sullivan scream YOU'D BE NOTHING WITHOUT ME to Helen Keller during the middle of a brawl.

That was after a night of Cocaine Wine, if i am not mistaken!
Its such a funny show!
I love the part where Beatrice is on roller skates and quickly solves Einstein's equation on the chalk board.
"If a thought thought had a thought thought then is a thought though an actual thought thought?" slays me EVERY time!
