Enthralled and Disappointed

I heard about this show (Bored to Death) on the Too Beautiful to Live podcast and eventually checked it out. It's a sitcom featuring Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson in the main roles; all actors whose work I've enjoyed in the past. The situation for the comedy is that Schwartzman's character is a struggling writer who gets dumped by his girlfriend and decides to become a private detective. Zach Galifianakis plays his oddball friend and Ted Danson plays a father figure and head of a newspaper that employs him.

I really, really liked it. It has a gentle pace to it which I like, with clever lines and slapstick moments living easily side-by-side. The post title is a quote from the first episode, taken out of context, to illustrate my feelings about it. I was enthralled by the show and disappointed that it was cancelled after just three seasons. I didn't think that it was getting weaker and it saddens me to think a solid sitcom like this couldn't survive. Anyway, check it out.
