The tonal similarity to the Paul Feig show is helped along by the presence of Linda Cardinelli voicing Sharla, the crush of protagonist Chad (Quincy). "Portlandia" co-creator Fred Armisen, Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace"), Pamela Adlon ("Louie"), John DiMaggio ("Futurama"), Kate Micucci ("Raising Hope") and Justin Roiland ("Fish Hooks") round out the cast. IFC's made a full episode -- "A Chris By Any Other Name" -- available online ahead of the series premiere. Check it out below:

I thought this was a really, really strong pilot episode. The dialogue is a little "on the nose" at times, but the characters were fully formed by the end of the episode and everything ended up flowing more smoothly. I'm glad I stuck with it because two words near the end of the episode made me laugh so much that it endeared me to everything that came before it.
