    As a native Midwesterner, I am impressed with how these guys nailed the Midwest accent. I never noticed or thought we had an accent until I moved to California and definitely notice it now.

    I have seen all the documentaries these are based on. I have watched seasons 1 and 2 of "Doc Now" and am trying to find all of seasons 3 and 4. I Absolutely LOVE their treatment of the original material and Bill Hader, Fred Armisen are brilliant/hilarious in almost everything they have ever done. I did a spit take when I saw the Photo of them portraying the Beales from Grey Garden. That was the first "Doc Now" I saw and now I have to see them all. Bills portrayal of James Carville is also a bit too spot on and F-n hilarious!
