The comic/folk duo Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci hit prime time with their act in this scripted series for IFC. It follows hard-working underdogs trying to make their mark in comedy while muddling through messy dating scenarios, and doing so by performing one satirical (and often quite saucy) song after another. Nothing stops the ukulele- and guitar-wielding twosome from singing about life's unspoken truths, despite it leaving them detached from their peers. The series is titled after Lindhome and Micucci's band name, inspired by "two famous rock 'n' roll second bananas," Art Garfunkel and John Oates.

wood-gledhow Of all the inexplicable cancellations and failures to renew of TV shows this is one of the most puzzling. This is one of the most truly creative, intelligent, insightful and funny TV shows ever. Why wasn't it renewed for season 2? I know I'm a bit late saying this but I've only just stumbled across the show on Netflix. Come on Netflix pick up the baton - fund it! Make season 2! Catch up folks and watch this show. It's brilliant. The song writing is inspired and funny. The script is literate (in a good way) and funny. The acting of the two stars is spot on and funny. The guest stars are note perfect and funny. There aren't many shows out there with the continued level of inventiveness and wit of Garfunkel and Oates.Someone please make season 2.
scarletminded Not sure why this was only one season. It is brilliant and a lot more funny than other shows out there. It has satire and depth. I really like the intelligence of their songs. I have watched them on You Tube way back. I was hoping some of the songs would get another video like "Douche" but you cannot have everything. I am not sure why shows like The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men stay on the air forever, yet real insightful comedy gets pushed to the side, every time. I liked Oates on Scrubs too. Ditto Raising Hope, another super funny show that was canceled before its time. My favorite song of this duo are "Pregnant Women Are Smug", "Sports Theme", and "Loser", though I am unsure if the last one is supposed to be happy or sad. I like those "Douche" and "Bland- job" songs too. I was so happy they got a proper cable show and so sad they did not get to keep it more than one season. But what a season. I will have to watch them again.
charlottesudlow I saw this show on Netflix and as a HUGE fan of both Simon & Garfunkel and Hall & Oates, I was drawn to it and decided to see what it was about. At first I wasn't too sure; I expected another one of those We're-Trying-To-Be-Funny-But-It-Just-Isn't-Working- That-Way shows that has the stereotypical duo that have wild adventures that certainly wouldn't happen in real life. HOWEVER, this is NOT one of those shows.Garfunkel and Oates made me laugh hysterically a few times (SPOILER: especially when the guy "accidentally raped" Kate when she fell asleep while having sex with him and the guy said he felt like he needed to prevent a rape in order to be zero on the Rape Scale, LOL) and other times I released a chuckle or two. Their songs are seriously relate-able ("Handjobblandjob I don't Understand Job" was particularly so, hahah) and hilarious if you actually pay attention to the words. "Sports Go Sports!" was funny as heck, too.I did not even realize they were a real Youtube duo until the show and I ended up watching almost all of their videos and laughing even more after I finished the show.Overall, a really great and believable show to watch. Garfunkel and Oates have captured my attention as an avid TV show/Film watcher. A MUST-WATCH!
Twins65 Doubtful.For some reason this show is always on IFC when I'm up in the middle of the night for any variety of reasons (but mostly urinary issues).Anyway, if I can't get back to sleep, it's time to start flipping channels, and these two quirky gals are enough to make me stop the churn.I first saw them on an episode of "The Soup" and was curious enough to find out more about them. Turns out they've been "LA musical comedy stars" for at least five years, and IFC gave them a shot at a show. The show is interesting and ironic, the jokes come pretty fast, the ukulele certainly is today's go-to instrument for hipster comedy, BUT THE LAUGHS JUST AREN'T THERE for me.Your mileage may vary, as I'm just a boring, early-onset AARP white guy and not an early 30-something single navigating this world we call 2014, so check them out if you care to.
