Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein star in this show about... well, generally, hippies and hipsters in Portland, Oregon. Initially I thought this was a regular show, but I watched the first 2 episodes and it is basically a clump of little short comedy pieces with the 2 actors playing different roles.

If this was only about how awesome Portland is I would probably get tired of it, but I think they mock the hippies more than anything so it is kind of fun. But I might still get tired of it. Time will tell.

Here's the first 3 minutes of the first show, introducing it. "The dream of the 90's is alive in Portland."

I watched the first episode a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty good. That song was the highlight though

Got 5 episodes in and was getting sick of the same tired joke over and over... how weird the hippies and hipsters are.... then on the advice of the internet I skipped ahead to an episode in season 2 about Battlestar Galactica. I think "Moore" is in the title. Watch that one, I actually laughed.

But I think I will close on that episode. Just barely even smiles at the jokes, rarely even any chuckles.

Sounds about right. Whenever there's been a really good scene, I'm guessing someone's already sent me the clip anyway. Watching the series would just be fishing through crap to see those same scenes again.
