This one caught my attention because of Natasha Leggero. It's about a family at the turn of the 20th century that's stupid rich. For example, they're bored because they're eating bald eagle for dinner AGAIN! Usually a servant is required to place food into their mouths, where they chew it a couple of times before they decide they're full and let the food fall out of their mouths on to the table or floor. Famous people come by to visit them, such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain.

There's a ton of familiar faces in it:
Natasha Leggero (one of the rich sisters)
Michael Ian Black (the butler)
Paget Brewster (the mom)
Brett Gelman (one of the servants)
Christina Hendricks (the new servant, who they re-name Chair)
Brian Huskey (one of the rich sisters' gay husbands)
Riki Lindhomoe (the other rich sister)
Jason Ritter (the rich brother)
Beth Dover (another servant)
David Wain (the other rich sister's gay husband)
David Koechner (the commodore)
Kate Micucci
Will Sasso

Other actors that have shown up in 1 episode are Jack Black and Chris Parnell.
 
Ben Stiller showed up as Lillian's (Natasha Leggero) ex (Ponzi) who left her at the altar when she was 12. Stiller wants her back (despite her being married), and also has a foolproof way for them to invest, where they get 6 people who get another 6 people who get another six people, etc, etc. Everyone's on board except for Lillian's sister Beatrice (Riki Lindhome), who realizes there'd need to be something in the realm of of 2 million people involved in order to keep the deal afloat, liking it to "those triangular buildings they used in Egypt".
 
Watched the first episode of the new season. God damn, this show is hysterical! Everyone's back, except the third sister Hortense. She was recast in the second season, and now has been recast again. Now she's played by Paula from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I don't remember them giving a reason for the first recast, but this last one Hortense was assumed killed and found in a field. Her face was entirely covered in bandages, except for that hairy birthmark on her face.

I was starting to wonder if this show was coming back since it'd been well over a year since the last season, but very happy to have it back!
