I tuned into the pilot of Portlandia. It was kind of funny, but not the smartest show out there.

Today's episode had a few laughs in it, and I stand true to that number of a few, but it was not exactly as good as the premiere episode. Just too many weird scenes, too many odd characters, and I know that, going into a show that is primarily about weird scenes and odd characters.

I will probably watch the next episode of the show, the season finale, but I cannot believe that there are people out there who really love this.moreless
