“Portlandia” Offers Happy Animal Farms When Real Life Doesn’t (Video)

“Portlandia” is a new IFC series that picks up on mocking the green, progressive lifestyle where the not as successful animated series The Goode Family left off.
Premiering Friday the 21st on the IFC, Portlandia takes place in Oregon where “the dream of the 90s is alive,” meaning no character is left without a bicycle to ride around town, a recycling bin in the backyard and goes a week without patronizing the locally owned coffee shop and bookstore.
Obviously food is a huge part of living green and the first episode features a couple dining at a restaurant that professes to serve humane chicken. An intense investigation takes place at the table, resulting in the waitress bringing the couple a file with the chicken’s photo and a lengthy sheet about its diet and the space it actually had to roam during its lifetime. There is a file for each chicken eaten, complete with name. This one’s named Collen.
