Synopsis

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.

Reviews

kelsi I stumbled across this in Netflix, and it is my favorite find, so far. I was a fan of the duo from 'Pregnant Women are Smug' and similarly funny youTube videos, but this show exceeded all expectations. Especially the second half of the season, where each episode seems to start with a ridiculous premise, and hilarity reliably ensues.Each episode is dense with jokes and charm, I'm only sorry that there aren't more episodes. The plots are light-hearted, but every thread seems to pay off by the end of each episode. Both characters are well-developed an their friendship is endearing. I especially love the Natasha Leggero and other great cameo appearances. I hope this show can return again soon!
gillies Garfunkel and Oates play themselves, i.e. two 30-something comedic musicians who write and perform parody songs that are not as clever as the Tom Lehrer songs of the 1970's, but are a homage. The shows are about their real life experiences as a female duo sort of like "Laverne and Shirley".While the first two episodes are kind of bawdy, the third episode ("speechless") about not talking on dates, and watching sports, is hysterically funny and very creative. I started watching, hoping for something like Tom Lehrer, but what can you expect when these two women are doing IT ALL, producing the show, writing the shows, writing the songs, performing them, and acting in the leading parts? I am amazed.I am pretty certain there has NEVER been a show like this on TV, about a comedic song group. The successful big-budget musical shows of the 60's (Monkees, Partridge family) had only very serious songs, and hoardes of backup staff to make them successful. The monkees sang their own songs but I think that David Cassidy had backing vocalists for the Partridge Family recordings. While a fraction of the songs from those shows were from singer-songwriters, this show is from singer- songwriter-show-writers-producers, which is frankly, amazing.
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.
e-oosterhout5 of course, everybody is entitled to his or hers own opinion about what they consider to be funny. But don't forget that this is very personal. So it's unfair to judge these girls with "1" star because you do not share their (and many others) ideas on what is humor. To me they are exceptionally funny and original. The chosen topics are highly original and the dialogues are hilarious. The songs are fantastic, not only regarding the chosen topics. The lyrics are great, funny and written with great "sense of language" (is this correct English? I'm from the Netherlands so my English is not that great). These two girls bring us a completely new approach on TV comedy.In short, they are great!
