Fall TV 2014: A sharp increase in bearded best friend

We've reached a saturation point in TV comedy with the "bearded best friend" character, as I've noted in some of my reviews. He's that schlubby, awkward, often delusionally self-confident supporting male who is inspired by and almost totally derivative of the career and characters played by Zach Galifianakis ("Between Two Ferns"; "Bored to Death"; "The Hangover" movies). You know the BBF mainly by his hipster-geek thatch of facial hair.
