I've started watching Rooster on HBO and am enjoying it so far. Hard to go wrong with Steve Carrell and the cast is excellent. I was watching one actor thinking, "Why does he look so familiar and why is his face so punchable?"

Some other friends have recommended DTF St. Louis (also a comedy on HBO) so I'll check that out too. I need some new distractions.
Speaking of Steve Carrell, he was on Amy Poehler's podcast recently and it was such a warm happy vibe. Recommended if you need a mood lifter: [link]
