Almost Live is a sketch comedy series based in Seattle during the 1990s - after Microsoft made it big and before Amazon emerged from a Bellevue garage. Seattle still had its laid-back northwest charm, its peculiar communities, its grunge rock, its norwegian influence, its beautiful scenery, and its lack of pretentiousness.
Almost Live mercilessly mocked itself, Microsoft, Boeing, Kent, state and local government, grunge music, office commuters, rich nerds, etc. TV series Cops, Miami Vice, Bob Ross, West Side Story, etc., all were redone with Seattle humor.
This era ended with the World Trade Organization riots, and was replaced with the Progressive era of homelessness, ranched RVs, crime, eviscerated police, rampant drug use, and tent communities. Almost Live ended with that. The cast has moved on and gotten old.
The old shows remain as a nostalgic window on what it used to be.
It's so sad they aren't re-run anymore, no DVDs were ever released for it, and there isn't a way to see it anymore.
