I thought turning New York City into old New York City as the evil plan was odd. It just had nothing to do with the film's story in general. As I said, lack of a narrative.

Oh, and Apatow movies are way too long. It's like this is a slice of life comedy. Like is it two full hours?

Sometimes I feel like they are like, we have a comedy star. Lets just point the camera. Just pick a random script. That's not new, really, though. A lot of movies starring comedy talents are kinda not great in the script department. I was watching a old Adam Sandler on TV earlier today out of boredom, and it was just…

The editing was horrible. Like one of the characters was in a hotel room out of nowhere, and I was wait! Why is she in a hotel room? When did that happen?

I see your point. That too was a big problem to me. They didn't really have a core narrative. It spend so much time introducing us (or re-introducing I guess?) to this world they wanted us to love. That's why it felt like a franchise pitch more than a movie. Lack of narrative I guess.

This movie had a lot of problems. None of the jokes landed. The special effects where overkill. The villain was lame. The cast had great chemistry, but they didn't really have a movie to inhabit. They had basically a pitch for a franchise.

"Parks and Recreations", except you know, not good and starring Kevin James.

There's hope for me and…..wait, I'm just a unemployed 30 year old commenter on the AV Club. Nope.

So, he has cutting edge in TV technology, and when someone says to him we really should re master "Game of Thrones" in 3-D, he goes you know, I rather we re-mastered the 90s sitcom "Spin City"! What?

That's really weird. I mean, by the time a show hits syndication, they don't give a crap about it anymore. Rerun money machine. You mean they actually took time to cut out her scenes? Why? "Spin City", by the way, was the king of weirdly ditching their characters. When Michael J. Fox left, they somehow dropped like…

Even if she was, this was a super easy gig that would make her a syndication fortune down the line. I doubt she was running so fast.

Wait…I KILLED ALL MY WIVES AND I'M INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*law and order sound*
cut to black!

The teacher was the most odd one to erase. He was a big part of the show for like 52 episodes. He was a father figure to Shawn, up to the point Shawn lived with him for awhile. Then he just disappeared and they never mentioned him again. "Boy Meets World" had a really bad habit of this, however.

"Charles In Charge" returned and he was walking around the house, saying the names of the old cast, only to do a double take at the new cast members, as a women who was in original show did a cameo to explain to him who these new people where. I'm not kidding.

Bill Gardell has said in a lot of interviews he's just going to take his money and go do stand up. Spend time with his kid. I don't blame the guy. "Mike & Molly" probably made him a fortune.

Er, it happens sometimes. I mean, I hate to sound like a perv, but it depends on a lot. Not every younger and older guy having a relationship is some rape thing.

That always brothers me not just in this sitcom, but a lot of them. At least give the kids believable ages compared to their parents.

Don't forget Danny!

That had a network switch, however, and basically NBC wanted a new wife on the show. What's this show's excuse? I'm really surprised. I just would of thought they ride this out to 100 episodes. Quality and chemistry among the cast be damned. They have syndication to think of.
