Hello, hello, hello. You're going to find out in a minute why it made me a little emotional to do that greeting.

This is Obsessed the Podcast, and I'm your host, Kevin Fallon, and I could not be more excited.

You could dress me up as a cupcake. That's how thrilled I am.

For the next few weeks, we're going to dedicate one episode a week of obsessive podcasts to what is,

in my humble opinion, one of the greatest TV comedies of all time. It is one of the sharpest,

funniest, most insightful, silliest, and surprisingly moving series that has ever been on television,

and its journey in the industry is the stuff of showbiz lore because it is so

unusual. I am talking about the comeback, the HBO masterpiece starring Lisa Kudrow as Valerie

Cherish and a once in a lifetime comedy tour to force. Well, actually it's more like thrice

in a lifetime now that season three is finally happening.

And that's right, we are about to dive deep into the comeback, and it will be glorious.

This is one of my favorite shows of all time.

It is also every cool person you know his favorite show.

The real ones know.

This has a fan base that is unreal, and we are thriving right now because the comeback is about to,

well, come back. Season three launches in March a full decade after season two aired. And season two

aired a full decade after the first season. So the comeback has become a sort of state of the union

on Hollywood, on the industry, and on comedy, popping back into

our lives every 10 years for a perfect, hilarious masterpiece season.

For those of you who don't know what the show is about, this is Lisa Kudrow, your favorite

friend star, giving the performance of her career as a veteran actress who has given a comeback opportunity

and makes the deranged decision to film every step along the way for reality TV cameras.
