phriedz blogged today about 'the comeback,' one of the best shows of the last 20 years if you ask me, and it reminded me of another show that's still pretty under the radar, but coming back for a second season (surprisingly?): "the minor accomplishments of jackie woodman."

once you get past the strange plastic surgery that the previously gorgeous laura kightlinger had done, the show is nasty and damn funny. my favorite episode involves the decidedly caucasian jackie woodman getting a $10k grant earmarked for native american filmmakers and blowing it on $1000 peasant blouses and booze. it eventually leads she and her cokehead girlfriend to an indian reservation where they take hallucinogens and go on one of the funniest trips ever depicted on film. it's delicious, and you can get it on dvd starting july 17, with the new season premiering august 5 on IFC.
