At Home with Amy Sedaris

Perfect showcase for her talent. Laugh out loud funny!

You either "get" Amy's humor or you don't. If you don't, you probably won't like this show. If you do, you'll think it's hilarious as I do. Also many satisfying nods to Strangers With Candy. I was laughing so hard on the first episode I had to re-watch it because I missed so much.

I love this show, Amy is wonderful and the different characters she plays are hilarious! I had seen the commercials for the show a few times and one day I happened to be walking by the TV just as "Entertaining for Peanuts" started. I could not walk away. The "Hobo" with the foot fetish came on and I was hooked. I hit rewind, called my wife into the room and we laughed together for 30 minutes. The show is now set to record every episode. Thank Amy and supporting guests for some fun!

It's true that Amy Sedaris's comedy isn't for everyone. Either you like her or you don't. She's uncomfortably strange which is part of her charm. At Home With Amy Sedaris is an excellent display of Amy's comedic performance, it's as if a neurotic, outlandish 50s house wife that most likely never leaves her house landed her own TV show. Each episode possesses an excellent dose of comedy that helps the d.i.y. style story line flow naturally. Amy's ability to disguise her jokes as regular conversation and perform ridiculous actions that appear normal makes the entire show non-stop funny. In addition to this, the show's set is a feast for the eyes. Not only does the set look amazing, but it creates an environment which allows the viewer to suspend disbelief and really immerse themselves into Amy's charming, strange world.

How anyone could call this show "hipster humor" (Sedaris is over 50) and "unfunny", I cannot fathom. This show has great characters, surreal writing, and is the most original thing on cable television at the moment. Perhaps it's on the wrong network and attracting negative attention from people who like to watch things like "Hardcore Pawn" and "Lizard Lick Towing".
