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.

Baskets is the quintessential show that's not for everyone, but in the end that might be its greatest charm.

A-

The Baskets series finale was deeply personal and casually defiant, without reaching for anything it hadn't already accomplished.

The chemistry between Anderson and Galifianakis drives the best parts of the new season, but it's not at the expense of sharp humor, biting irony and plummeting self worth rendered funny by its sheer hopelessness.

The fourth season drops the slapstick to get serious about its main characters, and it feels more alive than ever.

One of my favorite shows of all-time! It’s fantastic in all ways. Louie Anderson is incredible!

This is one of the most artistic, nuanced, funny, heartbreaking, beautifully acted shows in history. The whole cast is marvelous. Louie Anderson's performance is so unbelievably magnificent that it somewhat sadly casts a shadow over Zach Galifanakis's magnificent performance/s. Make more shows like this!

I love this show. But, this season felt like the creators had other things on their mind. They wanted to wrap things up- and hey, 4 seasons is a perfect amount. No complaints there. But, they just didn't stick the landing. They'd start going in one direction, and then detour to something else... I didn't feel satisfied with, really, anyone's conclusion. Maybe that was supposed to be the point. It probably was, now that I think about it. But, it would have been nice to get one really, really satisfying storyline ending. Just one. But really, the actors were phenomenal, as always.

This has to be the least funny thing I have seen anywhere, ever. It's way too deadpan, and slowly paced.

One of the freshest shows on television. Hands down. FX has been killin' the game for years.

Self-growth in your 30s is a though subject to depict yet Baskets does it so masterfully that it feels easy.
