Bumping this thread because I had a rare weekend this weekend where I wasn’t out doing things, and Ms. Cups wanted to catch up on her godawful reality shows…so I turned on the Hulu and marathoned this show. I loved it! It’s so silly/stupid and it’s humor that’s right up my alley (FTR Airplane! is my favorite movie ever). It’s not exactly the same as ZAZ, but it definitely fills a void for me. No one is doing stuff like this anymore, much less well, and I think it;s refreshing and new and wonderful. I look forward to watching more and more. ---

I’m enjoying this season’s crop of guest starts. It was so refreshing to see Michelle Dockery play a cold automaton with limited understanding of human emotion for a change. ---

> [@Raza](#): > > Absolutely _Airplane_ was their feature-length breakthrough, but you can see their brand of humor in sketch form (but still a movie) in _Kentucky Fried Movie_ from 3 years prior (ZAZ wrote, Landis directed, although from their commentary track I get the impression ZAZ were heavily involved in all stages of production). Well, How about naming their movie style as an homage to this? “Kentucky Fried Comedy”! ---

Charlie Brooker, comedian and Black Mirror creator, had a comedy police show called “A Touch of Cloth”. Does this compare to that? It reminded me big time of Police Squad!. ---

I just finished watching Season 4 (which came out last month) and I thought it was very funny, especially compared to Season 3 which I thought was kind of a dud. The TV/movie genre parodies were pretty well executed, Bobby Cannavale was great as Angie’s 23-year-old son and Taram Killian was a good villain. And there were lots of big-name cameos, as usual. ---

I’m really enjoying season 4 as well. I like how each episode so far is a very specific genre homage/parody. ---

I really enjoyed the new season too, which threw caution to the wind when it came to making any semblance of sense after Angie’s long incarceration. I should note that [a friend of mine](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4977287/?ref_=nv_sr_1#actress) is in Episode 4: she’s a Hollywood stunt woman who plays the model Lola Falana in the Marie Antoinette gown who’s murdered at the beginning of the episode. Later she’s in the morgue when everyone is eating sushi off her dead body. ---

Well, dammit, I didn’t know the new season was coming, and I had deleted the show from my DVR settings, so it didn’t record the episodes broadcast last weekend. I’ve set it to record them now, but it doesn’t show any coming up in the next two weeks. AFAICT, they aren’t available for streaming at [TBS.com](http://TBS.com), either, although a few articles online said they were. Does anyone know if they’ll be rebroadcast or have any advice for how to stream them?
