    Why You Should Be Watching Portlandia

    Portlandia Airs Friday Nights at 10PM/9PM Central on IFC Portlandia is a satirical take on modern counter-culture. Based in Portland, Oregon, with the majority of the characters played by SNL Veteran Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, the show is an entertaining advocate for being weird. Several hipster stereotypes such as DJ-ing, pickling, technology fads, intellectualism, coffee shop humor, environmentalism, etc.. are played upon in different episodes, demonstrating that in the pursuit of individualism and differentiating ourselves through trends or innovation, we wind up being very ordinary, really, and yet very impressive too.
