Farewell, Baskets: It's astounding that Zach Galifianakis' weird FX comedy lasted for four seasons

The Hollywood Reporter

Oddball shows like Baskets are becoming increasingly rare, especially with Netflix's many cancelations this year of very unusual shows. "Thursday night marks the end of one of my favorite TV acquired tastes, FX's Baskets," says Daniel Fienberg. "There's the part of me that feels like Baskets is ending far too soon, but it's just a small vein of bitterness. The more enthusiastic part of me is astounded that a show this weird managed to last four seasons, that it got 40 episodes, that it won an Emmy for Louie Anderson. A show I thought nobody would watch at all ended up being a show that… well… very few people watched! But not nobody. You can go out in the world and find fans of Baskets, and that's a small and not meaningless miracle."
