SOTU "the best TV comedy you may never have heard of"

The Vancouver Sun ran a column today that called State of the Union "the best TV comedy you may never have heard of."  It began by noting "Being a funny girl, it seems, requires not only the natural gift of comedy but the rather fickle twin fates of timing and taste," comparing Tina Fey's current acclaim to the "cool ambivalence North American fans have long held for Tracey" (I like 'em both, by the way) and then calling SOTU "acerbic, hilarious, slightly inappropriate, satirical, always politically incorrect and wonderfully original."

SOTU Renewed!

Variety is reporting this morning that State of the Union has been renewed by Showtime for a second season of seven episodes in 2009.  Only seven episodes?  It's better than the five of the just-completed first season, but still.... And I wonder if the budget for these seven episodes will allow for more guest stars to appear.  Not that there's anything wrong with seeing Tracey as so many characters.
