    Zach Galifianakis continues to grow as an actor and his role in Baskets is absolutely marvelous. It is also a major accomplishment how Louie Anderson makes a mother sound so funny even when they aren't supposed to be. But we could use some good news for once.

    If you don't like it you just don't get it. Baskets is a well acted. extremely funny and witty show that will resonate with those who are passionate about what they are doing but what they are doing may not traditionally accepted by society.

    Baskets is a good show and is VERY well cast. But this show is in many ways an acquired taste. This show isn't for people who love and just pay attention to Top 20 (ratings-wise) major network fare, it's not for people who don't like depth in their TV shows, and it's not for kids. I got to this show kind of late (Season 2), but that doesn't take away from the fact that I've enjoyed thisBaskets is a good show and is VERY well cast.

    One of the best shows on television. Just as long as you realize it has moments that will make you feel really really sad.

    The chemistry between Anderson and Galifianakis drives the best parts of the new season, but it’s not at the expense of sharp humor, biting irony and plummeting self worth rendered funny by its sheer hopelessness.

    Chip is still searching, but in this new season his story--how it’s told and how it’s framed--is much more sincere and affecting. And yet, it has not lost its clownish charm.
