Scott Aukerman Quotes
When we came to the network, it was a very interesting time where Portlandia had just come on the air and had been very, very successful. I think people had Portlandia-sized expectations for Comedy Bang! Bang!, especially after the first episode was sampled by quite a large number of people.

It was a resounding, "Hey, a bunch of people tried your show, and they all hate it!"
