Brockmire S3

Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet co-star in Brockmire, a half-hour comedy that began years ago as a viral short video on the Funny or Die website.

The series centers on the fall of Jim Brockmire, a once-famed Major League Baseball announcer who suffers an embarrassing on-air meltdown caused by his wife's serial infidelity, leading to a decade away from the booth. Older and presumably wiser, Brockmire attempts to reclaim his career, reputation and love life by returning behind the mic, but the setting - a broken-down rust belt town, home of the minor league's Morristown Frackers - is not quite what he envisioned. Strong-willed, hard-drinking owner Julia James has a complicated relationship with Brockmire, while whiz-kid intern Charles is simultaneously entertained by and terrified of the new announcer.
