After the episode ended I considered asking my girlfriend whether a could get a free honk the next time I needed to console her younger sister.  Ohh abd the actor who plays Vernon is in a phone commercial playing the same character but with more kids. Good to see him getting other work

Catching up on episode 5, Jimmy's crazy happy smile while reading his erotic fiction from 5th grade made me snarf. He's done that smile a few times before but it really landed this time.

The best part is that he's walking away thinking he's just saved the relationship, even though Gretchen is a) a loving mess -- I read it as some kind of chronic depression, but whatever it is, it's clearly not good at all -- and b) she very clearly didn't want him to go away at all. That look of relief when he walks back to the car was loving heartbreaking. And he just wanted to double check she wasn't still sleeping with someone else.

yeah, that episode finally felt more like season 1 episodes. I get that they elevated and had to give more story to Edger and Lindsey, but I think that's be the major draw back to this season so far. You have to spend time on them and so you take away from the main relationship. That whole sneaking off thing felt like it took an episode and a half longer than it should have to get to the meat of it. Here's hoping it gets picked up for another season.

Viewership has dropped from 0.7m to 0.6m through season 1, and started season 2 on FXX with 0.3m and has dropped to 0.15m It's not a rosy future, which is sad, because I really like the show.

Every character in this show shines. And this was the first episode I immediately had to watch again. It's fantastic. I miss Becca though. Becca does the best bitch faces.

It was honestly refreshing to see a real take on depression. And it's so sad that this is indeed, probably the end.

You may be right, but I can't help but worry when Aye Cash is posting stuff like this. https://instagram.com/p/8itFFpiMkm/ not sure if to take it seriously or just laying it on thick.

It's lost ~2/3 of it's audience since it was barely renewed. What you're saying is probably true, but there's a point at which you aren't making money and I don't think I've seen a series kept on for a fringe audience outside of public broadcasting.

Well to be fair not much on FXX has a huge audience or ratings. I have no idea why Fox made that channel. They don't even promote anything on it. You used to see promos for the League and Sunny on other channels and whatnot when they were on FX but since they moved them to FXX you would be surprised to know they still exist. I feel like this series is just begging to get noticed by it's audience. If it were on HBO or Showtime you would hear nothing but people praising it since it would have a higher profile. Realistically I feel like if Fox cancels it, there is a good chance that this could get picked up by a streaming service as it is a cheap to produce, well written and reviewed comedy. They would promote the poo poo out of it as well, if only to show the traditional media how badly they dropped the ball.

I'm pretty optimistic if only because I'm imagining these indicators compared against other FXX stuff. With The League ending do they have any original programming beyond Always Sunny with ratings/name recognition or critical acclaim? (I honestly don't really know)

I loved the first season and the layer episodes have been good but the start of season 2 seemed a massive jump in the "slap stick" stakes like the first season wasn't very silly but then you get them stealing a car and other poo poo but NO consequence from those choices anyway I hope the show continues. although the first season benefitted from them establishing and discovering their boundaries and relationships this second season seems a bit more like, let's just explore what wacky antics these sociopaths get up too the rapper is cool. I'm glad he's a skater and their beefs are kinda nerdy Lindsay is cute as hell and I love her stepford wife look although her over the top useless / superficial persona isn't great Edgar has such an upbeat personality it owns I don't get jimmys thing how he is clearly very bright but has a real childish side where he seems to get distracted by baby things. his voice sounds like the tall guy that wrote the UK office. a good ranting voice

If they cancel this show they truly need to give up on FXX. If a show this good and so perfectly appealing to FXX's desired demographic can't succeed then they need to acknowledge their mistake.

I could see them dropping FXX once sunny runs out. What does FXX even play when it doesn't have the league and sunny and ytw? I have to torrent all my stuff so I don't know what else that station plays. CaptainScraps posted:Every character in this show shines. And this was the first episode I immediately had to watch again.

Other than that a bunch of random reruns; Parks and Rec, In Living Color, Mad About You, HIMYM and some bad movies. FX itself went off in the weird, mostly horror programing with American Horror Story, Fargo, The Strain, etc. Honestly both channels are a mess and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a major housing cleaning with both of them in the future. They don't really have enough programing for two channels, breaking off the popular comedies was a poor choice to prop up the second channel as they have lost viewership as FXX is not on every cable system like FX is and none of them were popular enough to bring viewers to a channel. I love Sunny but it has never done gangbusters ratings. They probably should make FXX the Simpsons Channel and just have nonstop Simpsons reruns, bring all the original content back to FX and try to right the ship.

drat, that put most heavy dramas to shame on packing a punch. I laughed, cringed and cried throughout Gretchen's meltdown which put up Aya Cash's performance up there with basically anything ever. The notes scribbled on the Rocketship To Heaven were a great little bit, Edgar's 'Say hi to Velazquez' especially.

Honestly I could see FXX folding and Sunny just going back to regular FX.

The AV Club reported that FX canceled Married today. That probably isn't great news for You're the Worst, unless FXX is more forgiving with low ratings. Plus, YTW always got more critical buzz than Married, which will hopefully help.

Well the failure of pretty much all of FX's programing except for American Horror Story, which from what I gather isn't doing gangbusters either this year, is that they do absolutely zero promotion of any of it. For example during Gotham for the first several episodes there was the same exact promo for AHS on almost every single break. They could use some of that promotional time to give other programing a leg up. I didn't even know that Married had a second season. I haven't seen a single promo for YTW or the League on anything other than FXX and right before they are on. You would think that they would be promoting the poo poo out of the League at least since it is the final season(?) but nope, nothing. I really wonder what is going wrong there since they have the programing that other channels would kill for and a promotional tool with the major network that should be effectively feeding them viewers. Hell, it isn't like they didn't know this storyline/angle with YTW was coming. You would think that they would be putting everyone involved out there for media/press to take advantage of the positive press and get the word out more. It is like watching a Columbus Blue Jackets game, where they just fail at every little thing they do.

I really hope Jimmy doesn't hook up with the bar owner. I'd like to say I hope that because the writing on this show is too good to do something that predictable but I more so hope that because I like Jimmy and Gretchen so much.
