Basically, I need something where the emotional truth is wrapped in a fairly stylised package, and it will sing for me.
Wow. This describes my preferences as well in a way I'd never thought about before.
Completely me. I remember thinking, as I watched F&G...I went to school with these people...omg, that chick is me...um, painful then, painful now...NEXT!
I've only seen one, ever. And there was a keg in it and that's all I remember.

Fun episode! Genius work by Bill! Non-Alcoholic Beer drunkenness!
Yeah, that episode was awesome. Jesus is just alright with me, after all.

That's when I really fell for Millie.
She had me at "I'm going to stay sober and have more fun than anybody here."
I should probably get that, but I'm trying to cut back on the Netflix, you know.
You guys are not helping.
That's when I really fell for Millie.
That was a nice episode, but IMO the episode with Linda Cardinelli's bad trip and Millie and the basset hound is what really seals the deal. Anyone who doesn't fall right down to worship at the shrine of Millie after that episode is made of stone.
I may be alone in thinking that Apatow's work has gotten steadily stronger, and that F&G just screams "BEHOLD MY FIRST-TIME WRITER UBERREALISM!!" in a way that completely negates any real realism the show may have had.
How does uberrealism negate real realism?
Random guy: Do you wanna beer?
Millie: No, thank you. I'm high on life.
