VIDEO : 'Portlandia' Actors Open Up About End Of Series

"Portlandia" premiered January 21, 2011 with co-creators Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen exclaiming ?the dream of the ?90s is alive in Portland." Seven seasons, two Emmys, and one Peabody later, the hit sketch series is coming to an end. The eighth and final season of Portlandia premieres this Thursday on IFC. Speaking to UpRoxx, Armisen said, "Every time someone announces the end of anything, it?s the worst. Because there they are five years later, doing some other version of it." Brownstein added, Even LCD Soundsystem is back now, so I don?t know." Armisen said that he thinks he's ready for the show to be finished, explaining, "Eight seasons is a lot and we were lucky enough to make it this far. That?s a lot of television."
