Chip Baskets has always dreamed of being a classically trained clown. After flunking out of French clown college -- probably due to his inability to understand French -- he returns home to Bakersfield, California, where he moves in with his mother, Christine, bickers with his twin brother, Dale, longs for his sophisticated Parisian ex-wife, and continues to pursue his professional clowning dream, with the assistance of his friend/assistant/insurance adjuster, Martha. Zach Galifianakis stars as both Chip and Dale, with Louie Anderson as Christine and Martha Kelly in the role of Martha.

The dysfunctional Baskets family members evolve (or in Dale's case, devolve) over three seasons into more meaningful characters... Go to Full Review

Phillip J @RT65187272 May 23 Must-watch show for people who like their comedy characters to be quirk, flawed, dark, real-world relatable, emotionally-deep. Same vein as Somebody Somewhere but more slapstick. Don't be deterred by the apparent clown theme..references are light. Louie Anderson is phenomenal as Christine. You end up really rooting for this character. See more 09/04/2019 One of the best aspects of this show is its meta humor. Chip wants to be a clown professionally. He's not. But he's a clown in real life. If you're not watching this show, you're missing out. See more 04/04/2018 A great continuation of the Baskets family, but Chip was far more normal, and not his quirky goofy self as he was in seasons 1 and 2. See more 03/28/2018 Came close to going 4*.... See more 03/28/2018 Following the fairly great sophomore season, Baskets' third year is comparatively forgettable. While the show had previously excelled in its graceful depiction of a dysfunctional family, the presentation isn't as confident this year, nor do the scripts seem as genuine. One would hope that this downgrade in quality isn't a result of Louis C.K.'s departure from the show though, as the series still withholds a modicum of its charm. The acting is still first-rate, its stance on the tragi-comic is still unique, and it still often has the most impressive slap-stick humor on TV. Here's hoping the show will recover more of its groove for next season (which Galifianakis has already confirmed) , as while this year is hardly a disaster, it doesn't come near the brilliance of Baskets' height. See more kay a @RT59843974 03/01/2018 Season 2 was a very magically turn for the series and season 3 with its focus on mama Baskets continues to hit all the right comical and emotional beats. Very clever and extremely well crafted, Baskets is a very unique gem that continues to improve and impress. See more Read all reviews
