I like it.
it is free on hulu.
I liked this one. The reveal on all the 'curses' having an explanation was fun. And there was some solid laughs.
It is a bottle episode out of design, the main action takes place in one spot all together. It is not a bottle episode out of need (or budget), where the creators are forced to stick everyone in one location due to time constraints or money constraints.
C'mon, this episode was really funny. You spend the entire review describing how this show isn't good enough. With zero time spent on anything that worked. It's a silly comedy, lighten up.
Ah, another hand-wringing review of what the show SHOULD and SHOULDN"T be. It is episode three. The cast is fun. Lots of funny moments. Can't we let the creators of the show decide what kind of show it should be, and not saddle them with TVDWian could-have-beens?
The whole 'tiny pocket on the shirt' thing was great. 'I could hold a hot girls cocaine!' I like that this show pushes the jokes a little further than typical nbc shmaltz. Tough Titties, challenger jokes, cocaine jokes, etc.
It's good stuff. You are underselling Ken Marino. Just his reaction shots and takes are tiny gold nuggets. He has plenty of fun lines too.
I want to hear that story.
The worst were the subway commercials in Chuck episodes. They were like a 2 minute detour to watch Big Mike orgasm over how fresh his subway sub sandwich was.
As they go, this one wasn't horrible. If some sweet Jetta money is what it takes to keep B99 humming along, I'll allow it. And I can't help but feel Jake was dissing the car subtley, and spraying powdered sugar everywhere was a nice touch too.
election in november, election in november!! — What, again? This stupid country.
But you write compelling and well-thought reviews. And come from a place of appreciating the show you are reviewing and being a fan of TV in general. You are allowed to 'supersize' your reviews. It's a pleasure to read them instead of an exercise in being talked down to about why every show sucks. (cough cough,…
Batman's a scientist!
I like that Jake never even considered it. It was like the best Christmas present he ever got.
How many kinds of towels do you have? fancy…guest… fancy-guest… uh, eleven?!?!
Aw…. but Raymond JoJo !!
And I love how Holt obviously knows Scully and Hitchcock are idiots, and he's in no mood for them, but he still starts and ends his time with them with a polite 'gentlemen' and a tip of his drink. Consummate professional.
John Noble never got recognized for Fringe. I know that's two different genres, but I see them both as fantastic actors with gravitas and respect, who turned out amazing comic performances. Hope Holt gets his due.
