I just don’t get it. These live-musicals-on-television look so amateurish on television because of the lack of live sound and creative sets. Moreover, the audience is obviously coached like they are on game shows and sitcoms and it just sucks the spontaneity from the production. 

Next week we’ll see him drive up to the Getty mansion in a convertible caddy.

I read this article for Jesse Hassenger’s take on how this episode was filmed like a Spaghetti Western send up, but my (assumedly obvious) presumption wasn’t shared.

I think the studios care more about the number of viewers than critiques. I wish it was the other way around though.

Damn! He is all the best parts of Ryan Gosling, Justin Theroux, and Liam Hemsworth.

That was amusing and clever. Here, have a star!

Wait, as a “youngest” Boomer (born in 62), that would mean my mom had to be 16 when she had me. I suppose it is possible, but the term generation is there for a reason. Moreover, my son was born in ‘86 and has had completely different experiences than my nephew who was born in ‘81 who definitely qualifies as a Gen…

Have a star despite being just a hair’s distance away from making a great pun.

I was skeptical because the trailer made the show look kind of dumb, but Barry is outstanding. This is the best comedy series pilot that I have seen in a long time. With Silicon Valley leading it in, I am finally looking forward to Sundays again!

Great catch!

The idea of Evangelism is one of the worst tenets of Christianity.
