Are those difficult moments for you to play? In the new season, you're dealing with the sale of your grandmother's house. The curiosity and slow-paced nature and being distracted by wanting to dive into subject matter is from them very directly. He was always tinkering in his backyard, letting me start a fire there whenever I felt like it - you know, let a kid be a kid.

The character and myself in real life are curious about things in the way that my one grandfather was we'd drop him off at the bookstore and pick him up, and he'd have two shopping bags full of books that he would never read but just say, "Oh, I'm fascinated with that" and have great intentions about learning about it. One set of grandparents were antique hoarders.

I think they had a large impact on my type of comedy and made their way into the show in a really strong way. The thing that made my childhood particularly interesting in relation to the show is that I had two sets of grandparents that were both within, like, five minutes, so I would see them quite often. "We get up early to start the car to get it warmed up and shovel the driveway" stuff. Buffalo gets a lot of snow, but Marquette gets much colder - it's negative digits and a whole other level.

People like to drink beer, and they're huge hockey fans. How does that relate to Marquette, where the show is shot and set? He is obviously not exactly the person he plays on television - he refers to him as "the character" - but there is surely a lot of Pera in there it is not a mask so much as a window. Pera, 33, has been coming your way for a while now, leaving tracks in the web since college, making the odd late-night talk show appearance. Most episodes are cartoon-length and somehow packed with events while never breaking into so much as a trot. Sincerely interested in ordinary human rituals and the wonders of nature - the show encourages an attitude of appreciation - it's a comedy I am just as liable to watch with tears streaming down my face as laughing. But everything veers off into something quite different, and often quite profound. Briefly stated, it's a show about a soft-spoken, round-shouldered middle school choir teacher in Michigan's Upper Peninsula who offers "presentational" videos - they have titles like "Joe Pera Takes You to Breakfast," "Joe Pera Answers Your Questions About Cold Weather Sports" and "Joe Pera Gives You Piano Lessons" and involve talking to the camera. That such a singular and delicate thing has survived, even thrived, in the roiling seas of television is a seemingly small but not inconsiderable mercy. These are trying times, but we may take some comfort in the fact that a third season of " Joe Pera Talks With You" comes to Adult Swim Sunday.

I hope everybody doesn't fall asleep during my show, but if they do I don't mind at all.Joe Pera, whose Adult Swim series "Joe Pera Talks With You" begins a third season on Adult Swim. "It's like, kind of a compliment that somebody feels relaxed enough to what you're doing that they can fall asleep during it.

His orchestra teacher told him that wasn't a bad thing: "Sleep is a reaction too," his teacher said. When Pera was a kid, his dad would sometimes fall asleep during his recitals. Pera's always said that the idea behind "Joe Pera Talks With You" is to give audiences something they can enjoy if they stay awake - or something to fall asleep to. So when Adult Swim approached Pera to make a short special, he put together an 11-minute animated video called "Joe Pera Talks You To Sleep." In it, a cartoon Pera sits next to a fire and calmly talks to the audience about subjects like the barns of the Pennsylvania Dutch and Stephen Hawking's affair. His friends would tell him that he should make cassette tapes to put people to sleep, since his comedy was so subdued. The show grew pretty organically out of Pera's stand-up routine.
