Who here watches the show?

The season 3 premiere was great. Louie Anderson is simply amazing and he deserves another Emmy win. Not sure how the C.K. thing is gonna affect the show, but he is less involved in this one than in Better Things.

Still such a weird interesting show.

Here, here! The premiere was good as usual. Martha’s one-liners were my favorite and Louie Anderson is so damn good and his Christine feels so real even with all the goofiness surrounding the show. Since it seems this season will be featured mostly in the rodeo (or around it) I hope they bring back Ernest Adams who was hilarious and had the craziest storylines.

Is it me or is Martha stealing some of her scenes and is a highlight?

I loved her since season one, but they rarely give her good stuff. She can do a lot.

Louie has pretty much been the lead this season, but I’m definitely not complaining. He is so damn good! I think I’d still stay in supporting if I was him, but he truly has been an Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

It seems like Martha has two episodes this season in which she had a lot of screen time – The women’s conference episode and the one where she starts off saying that she went to work on her day off to make long distance phone calls

I think that’s the point of her character. She lives a very bland life and her deadpan delivery is what makes her great, especially if it’s an unexpected one-liner.

He should submit in lead. I don’t think he’ll win but he would deserve it.

I am rooting Martha Kelly to get nominated in Supporting Actress in Baskets. She has two possible episodes so far that would be a worthy submission if nominated.

Both Louie Anderson and Martha Kelly deserve to be nominated.

Voters received a DVD with the above with consecutive episodes “Sweat Equity”, “Thanksgiving” and “Women’s Conference” on it.  They are campaigning all three for writing, but only “Women’s Conference” for directing.
