Just thought I'd mention this great new little series I've been watching on HBO. it's called Bored to Death and it stars Jason Schwartzman (we all remember him from The Darjeeling Limited -- he played the youngest brother, the short dark-haired writer with the big nose...).
In this new series (Sunday nights at 9:30, right after Curb Your Enthusiasm), he plays a 30-year-old novelist living in Brooklyn who's having writer's block. His girlfriend just left him, so he posts a listing on craigslist offering his services as a private detective. Of course he is hopelessly incompetent and is only doing it to meet girls.
It's droll and deadpan and quite funny in an absurdist way. Co-stars are Ted Danson (hilarious as an aging hipster lothario) and Zach Galifianakis as his slacker friend, a comic book artist.
