This will always be high on my list of TV shows I have watched and loved. I am so glad and grateful to the crews who have the talent to put together shows like this. The actor, the writers and director...I can't even begin to imagine the work involved to actually get a piece of work finished and aired. When I find one that hits the mark and moves me like River did....thanks to all of you, I like your work.

This episode is a keeper...just to watch Martin Starr over and over again. He comes home from school, makes a grilled cheese sandwich and sits down to watch the Dinah Shore show with Gary Shandling...and just dies laughing; you can't help laughing yourself silly just watching him watching Shandling. Makes me miss both Haverchuck and Shandling.

The other story lines are also superb. The Lady L song, Millie trying to cut loose, Kim showing a little heart.

Joe Flaherty doesn't always have a lot to do, but it's a joy to watch him. He's one of oh-so-funny guys from SCTV. What a face. In this episode he listens to The Who and is horrified by the pornographic lyrics.

I'm a big fan of Freaks and Geeks and in this wasteland of current TV I'm glad I found this series on IFC

The shots of 1937 LA are worth the price of admission, though, sadly, the script is weak. Vincent D'Onofrio is an actor I'll always pay to go see, so there were some things in this film worth watching.
