    Anyone else become a big fan of this show? I've been a massive fan of Julia Louis-Dreyfus since Seinfeld and she is wonderful in this show, as the Vice President... pretty much showing a little of a role they play. Great acting, great writing.

    Agreed. Fantastic show and non-stop laugh-out-loud funny. One thing I like about it is that you ask questions to yourself (is Selina married?) early on and they clarify things in later episodes.

    Bringing this back from last year... this year has been just as funny. Anyone else watching it?

    This reminds me of the time I met Julia Louis-Dreyfus. We (my buddy and myself) had just sit down, for a nice hot cup of coffee. The sky was grey, which is normal for Seattle that time of year (but not normal for football uniforms). As it began to rain, I couldnt help but think of that one song, by Miranda Lambert.

    As it turns out, we hadn't walked into a coffee shop, but a gay bar. Me and my buddy looked at each other, and without a word being said, turnedaround and jumped back in our car.

    So we drove around for a while, still looking for a good coffee shop. You would be surprised how hard it is to find one, in Seattle of all places. As we were driving, jamming out to Blake Shelton on the radio, we saw the wreckage of a small plane. I remember that like it was yesterday.

    We gathered our thoughts and decided it was time to ask for directions. We pulled over at this small little gas station, and wouldnt you know it? Julia Louis-Dreyfur was there filling up her Prius! I just couldnt contain my excitement! I quickly ran over and shook her hand, and began telling her how I used to love Seinfeld, and she was the most annoying actress ever.

    Needless to say, she said if I didnt leave at that very moment, she would call the police. Kind of weird because I used to aspire to become an officer of the law. Did I ever mention when I became a volunteer county junior sheriffs deputy?

    I now feel obligated check back to this and other threads as often as possible to read up on your doings and humble-brags of the most mundane order, whether I or anyone else requested them or not.

    I have had a hard time with her politics and therefore cannot appreciate her as an actress. Supporting Al "my feet are warm" Gore and Barry O are unforgivable.

    She's loaded. Her dad's a billionaire. That should make it easier for you.

    What does her state of inebriation have to do with it. A good republican could never like her or her body of work.

    This has not been my experience with gay bars.

    Uh, I was there with my girlfriend.
