Funniest show on TV.  

My favorite moment is when the guy cons the deputy into shooting his neighbor's dog.

I like it but it can be spotty. But I guess that's to be expected with any improv-based entertainment.

The bit with the Klu Sux Klan was great.

Yeah, I love improv, and about a third of that cast is from one of my favorite sketch-comedy shows, The State, shown on MTV(and had previously starred in You Wrote It, You Watch It, hosted by Jon Stewart, also shown on MTV). I dug the episode with the evangelist, but they really shine when they're out on duty. The creepy old lady with the water heater? Awesome! Ku Sux Klan? Agreed, Cort -- the fact that those KKK (KSK?) guys show up every so often always gets me.

This isn't a cross.  It's a T.  A T for tolerance.  A T for teamwork!

It's also funny how many of the crazy people they deal with are just the officers with their faces blurred out. It gives the whole thing a nice low-budget thing.

And weren't the State people the same ones who did Viva Variety? If I remember right the head officer (I can't remember his name) was Mr. Laupin. Quickly Robin, to IMDB!

(time passes)

Well I'll be, I was right. I miss Johnny Bluejeans.

I think Johnny Bluejeans (Michael Ian Black) is now on Ed. I've seen him getting more and more famous recently; good for him. He was on VH1's I Love 4.3 Seconds Ago; too bad for him.

Remember when I typed his name in parintheses? That was awesome.

Yeah, I remember earlier today.  Choop wrote Michael Ian Black's name in parentheses.  It was a great time to be a member of the OFFICIAL Unofficial Achewood Message Board (TOUAMB).

Man, that was just clean living.
