Not sure if it has been thrown up here as yet, but Eastbound and Down has some great belly laughs and the eps are 20 odd minutes long, just a funny show.

Agree, plus only 6-7 episodes in 3 seasons so easy to commit to.

Thought it lost something towards the end, but season 2 was amazing.

Kenny damn Powers! :D

Last night I watched season 1 of "Veep". Only 8 x 28 minutes episodes so easy to get through.

Do yourselves a favour lovers of comedy - it is GOLD!

Stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the Vice President of the USA. She's not very good and bungles and stumbles her way through with a solid cast to back her up.

It's HBO so if lots of swearing and pushing moral boundaries aren't your thing, give it a miss!

Looking forward to a second season. :D

Very funny - once you get beyond the tits & fart jokes which can be funny in themselves there's great writing that makes the show laugh at itself.

Someone sent me a you tube clip last yr I think & was very funny.

Anyone else enjoying Grimm?
