- TriviaAccording to Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, the Women and Women First Bookstore scenes are actually shot at the very same non-profit bookstore that inspired the characters. The store, called In Other Words, was filmed mostly as-is, without any additional set dressing. In Other Words eventually ended their relationship with Portlandia for two stated reasons: the production's fees to close the store for filming didn't make up for sales lost on a given day, and the characters of Toni and Candace were seen by the staff as transphobic.

reading some of the 1 star reviews
Comedy is very personal. I think it's harder than drama- as to tastes- I think something is over sweet or too salty and it's some one else's favorite food. Often, I can't get a single laugh from some comics others think are funny.
I can't say all the skits are even; some better. Is it ha ha funny, not always. But I found it entertaining and original. and I like a different voice. they break through sexual and social stereotypes by displaying them. Carrie as a man and Fred as a woman pull it off, not by their physical, but by the spirit and mimic of the essence.
