The Dream of the Nineties Is Alive in Portland

"You know, it takes a certain amount of good fortune, privilege and entitlement to have those things be what you’re worried about. And I think that most of us know that. So I think it’s a little bit of a stifling way to live, because it’s so well-meaning, and so well-intentioned, but, like you said, there’s part of you that knows that it’s a little bit ridiculous. And many of the characters on the show, I think, start right when someone’s belief system has just gone off the rails—or is about to."

David Daley in Salon interviews Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein about the new season of Portlandia.
