    Not hipsters with trustfunds Williamsburg or hipsters with real jobs Greenpoint...

    I wonder how this article would have been written if she had chosen the Trustifarian North. Certainly no more charitably. #oliviapalermo

    As I hear it, DUMBO's got some pretty nice apartments of its very own.

    Why are you surprised? She's one of those girls who goes out of her way to appear like an adult in the most boring of ways. She'll fake menopause by 30, trust me. #oliviapalermo

    @StonedAndDethroned: Given the glazed look of ennui-as-fashion-accessory, the good money says she will be faking more than menopause way before she turns 30... #oliviapalermo

    The cast is good, and the writing is good, but the whole show has this air of twee preciousness I have never ever associated with Jonathan Ames work. Heck, his work is so un-twee and un-precious it’s hard to understand how it got distilled on the screen like this.

    I think it comes down the the stiff direction and editing. When you read Jonathan Ames work it’s snappy, witty an concise. Heck, when he reads his own work it sparks to life. This show? Mehhh. Get snappier direction and editing and it would be tons more fun. #boredtodeath

    "HBO has been in a major rut when it comes to new original comedies since Sex and the City went off the air. "

    What about Flight of the Conchords?

    Isn't calling a show "Bored to Death" tempting fate in a most flippant manner? If I were HBO I'd watch my back. The gods on Mount Nielsen don't appreciate irony. #boredtodeath

    Ted Danson is terrific in Bored to Death. He lights up every scene he's in, and I find him totally believable as a megalomaniacal big-city magazine editor. The show is interesting, with some flashes of strong writing, though tonight's episode was uneven at best. But the current season of Curbed is crapola. Larry David shrieking "it's pretty... pretty... pretty.. pretty... good" got old three seasons ago. The last non-stop hilarious Curbed episode starred Krazee-Eyes Killa, though Super Dave makes me laugh every moment he's on. #boredtodeath

    I think that apart from Galifianakis, Dandon is the best part of this show. His explanation of his renewed love of women's armpit hair was freaking delightful.

    I also think these characters are better drawn than most of the ones in Sex and the City. Plus I don't have to look at Sarah Jessica Parker. #boredtodeath

    Zach Galifianakis would also make a great pregnant lesbian.

    Ted Danson is inexplicably in the picture, playing the editor of a magazine and the grizzled man about town.

    That's a tough shooting schedule for Mr. Danson, playing two parts and all. *WINK*

    In reply to America's New Public Enemy: Tail of the Rat
    Thank you Gawker for helping me trace the root of white trash love (and here I thought it was those first few years in Southern Jersey). No, it was the popularity of the rattail during my hormonal preteen years in a midwestern exurb.

    In reply to America's New Public Enemy: Tail of the Rat
    Some of the other posters here are correct. Before breakdancers and hicks adopted the rattail, it was worn primarily by vaguely new wave teenagers in the early 80's and would occasionally make an appearance on a punk's head as well.

    Hopefully it is the early group that the rattail revivers are referencing, but maybe it doesn't matter.
