In the increasingly crowded field of television comedy, Tacoma Fd offers some comfort food.
Higher quantity never guarantees better quality, but thanks to “Peak TV,” there are more good options on television to choose from than ever before. This is especially true of the comedy genre, which has witnessed an explosion of unique programming. From returning favorites like Fleabag and Brooklyn Nine-Nine to acclaimed newcomers like The Other Two and Russian Doll, viewers could watch one episode every night for a year and still not finish it all.
Unfortunately, this results in the premature demise of many, many shows, as people just aren’t able to keep up, resulting in poor ratings. Hopefully, this isn’t going to be the case for truTV’s Tacoma Fd, which has managed to find and maintain a small, devoted niche audience. But even at a smaller network like truTV, a...

After telling a coworker that my fiancé and I have a podcast called Coffee & Conspiracy, he recommended that I check out the Joe Rogan Podcast and so I did. I’m glad I did check out Joe Rogan’s podcast, because it made me aware of a great comedian and storyteller named Joey Diaz.
I started watching all the Joey Diaz’s clips on YouTube that I could find and checking out his podcast called The Church of What’s Happening Now. If you want some inspiration and motivation in your life, and a laugh I recommend that you check them out. I think we need more inspiration and motivation in this crazy world we live in now. For me personally listening to Joey Diaz makes me want to work harder at things that I want to do in my life.
If you have Netflix be sure to check out Joey Diaz’s standup.

Lionsgate is capitalizing on its recent acquisition of 3 Arts Entertainment by setting up two multi-camera comedy series prospects for Fox from talent repped by the management-production firm.
Both projects will be co-productions with Fox Broadcasting Co. The orders for these projects and others are a sign that Fox intends to continue developing scripted series even as its parent company awaits a big transition in selling off other studio and network assets to Disney.
“Uncle Joey” stars comedian Joey Diaz as a Cuban immigrant with a troubled past who moves to an upscale suburb to raise his daughter. “King of the Hill” alums Sivert Glarum and Michael Jamin penned the script and exec produce with Diaz and 3 Arts’ Michael Rotenberg, Jonathan Berry and Josh Lieberman.
“Significant Brother” revolves around a newlywed couple whose life is changed when the brother’s estranged gay brother moves in and becomes best friend with his wife.
