    Default Stella!!!!

    Stella.

    Has anybody seen this show? Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain in the most bizarre, surreal, nonsensical half-hour of unbridled lunacy I've seen in quite some time.

    My kid Tivo'd it, and I watched the first episode with my mouth hanging open. Pure unadulterated genius. I can't begin to describe it.

    I was hoping to see a pic of pre-fatty Marlon Brando shirtless.

    Great series, but like any really edgy humor, it didn't find an audience.

    Thanfully, Comedy Central routinely replays the reruns.

    And it'll be out on DVD soon (if it isn't already).

    Yeah, I loved the show. It was just up my alley. It's out on DVD now and I plan on grabbing it sometime soon.

    This was one of the oddest, most brilliant shows. It doesn't surprise me that it didn't make it for long (They needed to make way for "Dumbin' It Down"), but that was some great TV while it lasted.

    Wait till you get to the campaign episode. It just...it...oh, just watch it. (I don't remember which one this is from, but it's da bomb, foo.

    I absolutely love this show. The camping one and the one where they grow crops in their apartment are probably my favorite ones.

    If you like Stella, and are also into romantic comedies, Michael Showalter wrote/directed/starred in The Baxter, which was pretty good. Wain and Black have spots in it too.

    My fiance and I fell in love watching Stella. It was the Summer of 2005 and she proposed to me while wearing a false moustache in the rain. Were we ever so young?
