Very sad to see her go.

Mike Judge's (of King of the Hill and Idiocracy fame) Tales From the Tour Bus episode on her was excellent.

Mike Judge knows how to portray culture.

Every thing he creates, including his satire, is so accurate.

As someone growing up in a small Texas town, KOTH is right on the money.

As someone in the software industry, Silicon Valley is right on the money.

..and don't forget Office Space. He has savant-like abilities to observe and reflect personalities and society. True genius, and much under-appreciated.

I, too, grew up in Texas (in the 'metroplex') and really love his portrayal of it all. His insights and satire aren't hateful or spiteful; but rather more playful. KOTH made me more proud and happy to be a Texan, in fact.

Regarding Texas, this sounds kind of like the better work of Larry McMurtry. I loved 'Leaving Cheyenne.'
Tales From the Tour Bus is a delight, and I keep hoping for a season 3.
He also did Silicon Valley.
