Portlandia

'SNL' vet Fred Armisen may have left the long-running, late-night comedy for good this past season, but he won't be hurting for work any time soon. IFC has granted an additional two seasons to its critically adored sketch comedy series, 'Portlandia,' to air in 2014 and 2015 respectively, but will the series come to a conclusion thereafter?

As we eagerly await the third season of IFC's quirky sketch comedy series 'Portlandia' -- or for that matter any of our favorite shows before their return -- one universal rule of TV should always be observed: no spoilers! Even for a series close to decade old, spoilers are to be regarded with the highest of care, something even 'Portlandia' knows all too well. So what spoilers are teased in the l

As nice as it was to have Fred and Carrie back for a brief 'Portlandia' winter special, 2013 will see the eternally weird duo back full time for 'Portlandia' season 3. The third year of IFC's quirky sketch comedy will feature an impressive number of guest stars, including the likes of Chloe Sevigny, Patton Oswalt, and several past 'SNL' stars, but why wait until the January 4 premiere date to chec

Sure, our lives have all been pretty weird of late, considering the storms that flood the tri-state area one week and drench them in snow the next.

Thankfully, Portland weird will be back in our lives sooner than we thought, as IFC's 'Portlandia' h

Certainly none of the '30 Rock' cast will be hurting for work when the show closes up shop after 7 seasons this fall, but it's an awful lot of talent to pour out on the streets.  We know that Tina Fey will next take her talents to lend a voice on 'The Simpsons,' but what of Alec Baldwin?  Will he simply return to movies, or continue on the small screen?  Might there be a place for him in 'Portland

Not to be outdone by 'American Horror Story,' (its mostly direct and logical competition) IFC's comedy gem 'Portlandia' will be getting just a bit bigger for season 3, adding actress Chloe Sevigny into the mix with Fred and Carrie. Sevigny was also cast in a recurring role for 'American Horror Story' season 2, so what brings the actress over to the comedy side of things? And how long will she be s

Before you turn up your nose at the thought of the "Independent Film Channel" leaning on ads for support, be thankful the network has the ability to bring us a third season of 'Portlandia' and another installment of R.Kelly's epic 'Hiphopera,' 'Trapped in the Closet.'
