The TV thread

And I was hoping for more, but you're right.

Don't know about Arnett, but Margo Martindale certainly deserved better.

 

I thought the first episode was amazing. Yes, a bit implausible at times like you said, but extremely entertaining. Chi McBride is a great addition to the cast.

 

It might be the worst of the new shows that I've seen.

 

The commercials looked really bad, aside from the cast.

Also, jr/shotglass, what do you mean "Don't know about Arnett"? Have you not seen Arrested Development?

 

He was so awesome on 30 Rock as well...

Arnett is great, but he was woefully miscast in that show with Christina Applegate a couple years ago. He needs a NewsRadio type show with an ensemble cast where he can play the lovable asshole.

I like Arnett enough that I was actually sad when I heard that he and Poehler were splitting up.

 

Well said. He really only plays one role, but holy shit, is he great at that role.

 

Right, and that's what ruined the Applegate show for me. His character was a bit of a p-whipped wuss and it was like, "Will Arnett is awesome, you can't have him playing a wuss."

 

I'm sorry, gang. Arnett does not do it for me. Didn't like his character in AD ... didn't like his character with Applegate ... don't like his character here.

 

I'm not sure my mind can wrap around the idea that someone doesn't think Gob was well done. On a show full of standout performances, that was probably the best.

 

I'm not as much of a AD fanatic as some on here, but I thought he was great on that show, as was almost everybody... He was great on 30 Rock.

The Applegate show and this one are definite misses.

 

So was Running Wilde.

 

Of all the females who appear on TV, Olivia Munn seems like she would be the most enthusiastic sex partner ever and most skilled.
