Jonathan Ames (Jason Schwartzman) is an aimless writer inspired to become a private investigator. The stories center around him and his two friends bumbling around. Ray Hueston (Zach Galifianakis) is a pot smoking cartoonist with a ever frustrated overbearing girlfriend Leah (Heather Burns). George Christopher (Ted Danson) is the 'wise' older editor.
This is an absurdist comedy. Ames is pathetic and only out-pathetic by Zach Galifianakis' antics. Ted Danson gives a crazy performance from a different perspective. It's a crazy wacky world of over drinking pot haze. While I love the guys, the comedy is a bit dark and definitely not your average sitcom. It's not to everyone's taste and a bit of hit and miss. Luckily it's more hit than miss. Sometimes I winces at their pitifulness. Mostly we're allow to laugh at them. It's certainly not your average comedy.
