imagesNote : Going to start reviewing TV shows.

If you like quirky TV shows then Portlandia is for you. It stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein in many different roles.

Portlandia is a sketch comedy show set in Portland. Each episode has 1 major story line that is surrounded by un related skits.

Portlandia is a quirky TV show. It pokes fun and statrarizes the oddities and strangeness of the city of Portland OR. Each episode is around 22 minuets and has 6-7 skits with 1 that is the main story of the episode. The 2 main actors play different characters in each of them, surrounded by the supporting cast, each also playing different characters. Besides the mayor ,who appears often and there are also many cameos.

The skits are very funny, placing the main characters in strange situations with funny results. Having never been to Portland, I cannot say if it is accurate but it is funny. Some skits get partially repeated by taking the same characters and having a different situation, but do not get stale. There are normally only a few repeating ones perĀ episode. Overall, Portlandia is a quirky funny TV show. I give Portlandia Season 1 a quirky B+. I will try to watch and review Season 2 soon.
