I will admit the latest season feels a bit like a precursor to something big, just a lot of mish mash of waiting for something big to happen (I haven't seen the season finale yet though)
Ultimately, Mike Judge knows this whole genre like no one else. If you've never seen the '90s movie "Office Space," then queue it up sometime. I'm not gonna' say much about his old "Beavis and Butthead" stuff, but honestly he's a total Bay Area insider.

I'm really glad you guys enjoy this kind of stuff.

As for season three, well, I think it lost some of its quaint geek appeal, but I'm still watching. Like I said, seasons 1 and 2 are just off the charts, totally hilarious stuff.

Get back to me when you watch something about someplace where I don't live.

Oh, and get back to me when somebody tries to get rid of a renter above them Bugs Bunny style by cutting a hole in the upstairs floor, because then all the plot devices will have been used.

No. . . no. . . you're like a SDN vendor trying to sell me on SDN on a /24. I'm not having any of these shenanigans.

Watched a marathon of these the other day on HBO on-demand. The details blow me away.

I saw T. J. Miller (Erlich Bachman) in that horrible movie "Deadpool" the other day and I just couldn't accept him in another role. Sorry, T. J... you're typecast, buddy.
