Do they ever sing in something other than unison? ---

> [@Mister\_Rik](#): > > I think Kate Micucci is just adorable. > > I enjoy watching their music videos on YouTube, and find their songs hilarious … but after watching the first episode of _G&O_ on Netflix, meh. Couldn’t get into it. This. I think they’re both brilliant, separately, and together they are more than the sum of their parts, but I managed 3 episodes on netflix and haven’t been back. Funnily enough. the Will Wheaton Tabletop thread had led me to watch a few of those yesterday, and they show up in that - leading me to ponder whether I should try another episode of their netflix show. And then I didn’t… ---

Kate’s solo show is called “Playing with Micucci”. ---

Here’s the odd thing. I really, really like what they do. For about 10 minutes. THen I can’t watch any more for a few weeks. So they’re like almond roca. I really love almond roca but only want about 3 pieces a year. ---

She was obviously meant to be a one-off, but they kept her has a character and she sang [the doorbell song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4SpCBvnFXM), which was so utterly charming that I went to see more online. > > What I love is the way they sing about raunchy things in their innocent and matter-of-fact way. Yeah, I started watching “Raising Hope” when I caught the doorbell song at the beginning of an episode. I think my favorite G&O song is “29/31” ---

Huge Kate Micucci fan here. I’ve loved her in everything I’ve seen (or heard) her do. Does she have a brother named Eaton? ---

> [@Andy\_L](#): > > Yeah, I started watching “Raising Hope” when I caught the doorbell song at the beginning of an episode. I think my favorite G&O song is “29/31” P.S. I did like the G&O series, but it was a bit hit or miss. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > I do hope they haven’t broken up as a comedy team. The success of Lindhome’s show might be bad news for G&O fans, if it means that she will now be too busy with other projects to work with Micucci. As fate would have it just a little after reading **Frylock** ’s anti-G&O thread, I was glancing through today’s local paper and I saw that they are playing Cobb’s Comedy Club in SF tonight and tomorrow night. So apparently they are still performing together at least as of this weekend :). ---
