10/13/2011: Television: Bored to Death - HBO

Ray: How long has Jonathan been in there?

George: I don’t know, I’m on marijuana minutes.

NYTimes article on the new season (Click HERE):

But Mr. Ames still hits the mark most of the time. The Graydon Carter-like George says of his just-opened restaurant: “It’s kind of my new canvas. It’s like the magazine, but with steak frites.” Ray, finally given visitation rights with his son, sniffs the child’s hair and says: “I love to inhale him. It’s better than bacon or sunblock. It’s like baby cocaine.” (Compare that with the leaden, profanity-laced baby worship in NBC’s “Up All Night.”) Even the throwaway lines class up the joint. How many sitcoms would cut away from a scene on someone saying, “That’s not the ‘Rashomon’ I remember,” trusting you to get the joke? - Mike Hale

God I love this show. I wish I still has HBO.
