I always knew someday Hank Azaria was going to do something I was going to love. I waited and waited and it didn’t happen, until “Brockmire”. Absolutely a favorite show of mine, following the ups and downs of Azaria as a down-on-his-luck alcoholic baseball announcer. Everyone I’ve recommended it to has loved it too. Seriously, all you have to do is watch the first episode, and if you don’t love it by the end of that first half hour, you can skip it. I actually had one friend call me before the first episode was even over to rave about how much he loved it. It’s that good. Trigger warning: It does get a pretty dark in the second season, he hits some pretty low depths. Still, a bona fide gem, one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen, and I will never understand why you never hear anybody mention it right alongside the best shows of all time.
