Season 1 – Garfunkel and Oates

2014 Comedy List
100% Tomatometer 8 Reviews 90% Audience Score 100+ Ratings
The comic/folk duo Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci hit prime time with their act in this scripted series for IFC. It follows hard-working underdogs trying to make their mark in comedy while muddling through messy dating scenarios, and doing so by performing one satirical (and often quite saucy) song after another. Nothing stops the ukulele- and guitar-wielding twosome from singing about life's unspoken truths, despite it leaving them detached from their peers. The series is titled after Lindhome and Micucci's band name, inspired by "two famous rock 'n' roll second bananas," Art Garfunkel and John Oates. Read More Read Less

Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times There are excellent small details. Aug 7, 2014 Full Review Caroline Framke AV Club Garfunkel And Oates can't decide in which direction to go-naughty or nice-so it spends most of its time vacillating wildly between the two in hopes that there are enough good moments to sustain it. Rated: B- Aug 7, 2014 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times The point is really the smart, deadpan jokes and the surprisingly elaborate and usually smutty songs. Aug 6, 2014 Full Review Patricia Garcia Vogue Even if musicals aren't your thing, don't worry; their songs only make an appearance or two throughout each half-hour episode, although you'll undeniably be wishing there were more. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Garfunkel and Oates fans who have been following their career over the years will certainly find the series fun and their music appealing. Rated: 3/5 Feb 17, 2015 Full Review Maren McGlashan Paste Magazine It is unique in its self-reflexive nature, as well its marriage of sitcom, sketch comedy and musical performance Rated: 7.8/10 Aug 8, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Wish it hadn't been cancelled this show is awesome. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review miles s Fun show! If you are a fan of Flight of the Concords there is a good chance you will enjoy this. The main characters are quirky and likable. The jokes land and the songs are good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Lame Flight of the Conchords ripoff. I really wanted to like this, but it's just so unoriginal, and the music is pretty mediocre. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 8 episodes and they didn't play the loophole. What the hell? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member While one could make a case that Garfunkel and Oates' show format is fairly derivative of Flight of the Conchords, I think very few people would argue that that's a bad thing. The female comedy-folk duo have made a highly enjoyable series that fits snugly in IFC's oeuvre. Dead-pan humor, spot-on music biz satire, endearing spirit, and songs that are both hilarious and well-crafted all makes Garfunkel and Oates a real treat-and-a-half. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Delightfully deadpan with fantastic songs about handjobs, facebook friends we don't remember and how easy it is to get a weed card in California.
