About this show

Chip Baskets (Zach Galifianakis) wants to follow his dream of being a French clown, but reality keeps interfering. The Baskets family is at its most fragile. After losing his wife and rodeo job, Chip jumps on a train to get out of Bakersfield, but a gang of gutter punks, the police and an unexpected tragedy drag him back into the drama he tried to escape. Baskets is produced by FX productions.

So often I'm laughing a different kind laugh when I'm watching this show. Not really a chuckle or a belly laugh, but in-between, a harder and quieter laugh; not painful, yet gut-wrenching glee! Sublime moments during the show, the tragedy is painted so comically, like the ham & cheese party-sub, also fit so well with the theme that Baskets will always be the cloon. Each character is attacked critically by the writers/directors that it shines light on the pessimism that everyone has about our insecurities.

I love Christine Baskets. She's my all time favorite character. She reminds me of my aunts from southern Indiana. Christine handles life with grace & humor. We can all learn through Christine's trials & errors with self-love, romance & her love for all things - cats, Reagan & curly fries. I will miss her when this show ends. Thank you Louie Anderson for your amazing performance--I only saw Christine. Well done.
