It's been a while since I laughed as long and as hard as I did during Tuesday night's series premiere of "Stella" on Comedy Central. The show stars Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black, and David Wain, all members of "The State," a comedy group best known for having a series on MTV in the mid-1990's. While the last ten years have seen many projects from "State" alums, both good (Reno 911!) and bad (The Pacifier), "Stella" is the first to recapture the comedic tone and timing that made the ensemble's MTV series so brilliant. That said, I have no doubt that if I actually try to recommend "Stella" to friends, 99.9% of them will absolutely hate it. (The few who would like it are my fellow "State" fans from college. And maybe a few "Strangers with Candy" fans.) To call the show's humor "random" would be the world's greatest understatement. Each scene in Tuesday's premiere episode, which was ostensibly about the guys' efforts to find an apartment after being evicted, was more ridiculous than the last. Along the way they managed to work in gags involving a choreographed dance routine, skunk people, (unsuccessful) open-heart surgery, funk, funk rock, funk rock, and Edward Norton. And I loved every single minute.
