Brockmire

And we're off to a roaring start! This series is the perfect bland of black comedy. Rarely have I seen such depth in such a short while while leaving development wide open for the remainder of the season.

Jim Brockmire(Hank Azaria) had a perfectly acceptable life as a stadium announcer until he came home to find his wife hosting a what can only be described as NSFW party. Following which he proceeded to go straight to work and blow up his career, and shortly after hold some press conferences securing his greatest pain online for life. It is now 10 years later, and he's been offered a position in a run down town in the middle of nowhere with a team of.. let's just call them colorful players. Mix in Jules(Amanda Pete) and you have a screwball comedy of monumental proportions on your hands.

10/10 Thank god someone's still paying attention in how to make a great show about the worst parts of life.

First of all, if you live in an apartment or condo DON'T WATCH THIS SHOW. ....I got so excited I ran out in the hall and punched some stranger.

I never thought I could watch a show with Amanda Peet and be so distracted by sheer raw humour and acting that my only motivation wasn't catching some boob.

Hank Azaria, not since Hugh Laurie in House, has renewed my faith in complete immersion into character in a comedy drama.

It's so @#$%&ing funny it could justify a 12 stepper going on a bender.

I bought a baseball between episodes 2 and 3 just so I could terrorize my neighbours cat.

I yell at people now on the street with no good reason.

After 3 seasons of wall to wall laughs, season 4 has been truly awful.

Such a shame for a genuinely good show.

2 great seasons and a terrible final season. I'm not sure what they were going for in the time jumping final season. Some sort of redemption story I guess but Brockmire was at its best when Jim was hedonistic and calling baseball games.

Hank's acting is spot on and the story line is genius. I was literally laughing out loud...and cannot wait for future episodes! Even non-baseball fans will crack up at the ridiculousness of the situation. Hank's "typical" baseball announcing voice is a throwback to my youth. Heard Hank interviewed on Howard Stern and couldn't be happier I found season 1, episode 1, on IFC.
