What a waste of my time!!!
Very well executed
good back-story, and good acting
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
View MoreShatner pulls another one out of his... @$$. Of course with the executive producers from Will & Grace, things can only be first class. Well... mostly. The funny lines of Shatner and his own comedy talents make up for the short falling of the rest of the show. Ideally, nothing is ever perfect. (In a perfect world, William Shatner would not have to buy hair...) Expect lots of star cameos and witty writing. Expect a lot of stepping on political correctness and spanking it's @$$. After all, that's what this series is all about... PC meets Old School. Shatner does not look 79...more like 59... and "Henry" looks to be in his thirties...which he is (31). Therefore, the premise works, unlike "Retired at 35". Sadowski is superior to McClain by far...although we could have hoped for Zach Braff to take the lead role of "Henry". Second string ain't bad...but the snap of a seasoned star like Braff would have helped tremendously to support the wit of the lead "Ed" played by Shatner...brilliantly as usual.The writing is coming along to support the premise and the main characters...but has not yet bloomed into its potential. Bottom line...the best new show of the season on any network. Perhaps the best show on any network... period. Including "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory." My VCR is set. I never miss it.
View MoreThe TV adaptation of $h*! My Dad Says fails miserably with wrongly casting the dad and son. William Shatner is over the top and doesn't come off as effectively funny. He often comes across as an old man with constant constipation. There is no ease in the character that it creates more tension with the actor. Jonathan Sadowski as Henry is really not doing any magic for the character. Really, Justin Halpern, is that how you want to be portrayed? Lackluster and corny. Writers are very interesting people, Sadowski on the other hand is a complete blah, whose character never shows his wit. And seriously KoMut? The creators of the great Will & Grace. What happened? Terribly disappointing. You should have just made a show with an original concept rather than duplicating and overly written piece.This is what happens when you exploit witty lines. The dialogue doesn't come out naturally. The whole thing becomes a glued project.
View MoreI would love to give this show 10 stars ... HOWEVER ... I just cannot get past the son, Henry. I thought I would give it a few shows to see if he gets a groove, but I am sad to say - he has not caught on.The rest of the cast is SUPERB ... the writing is great. EXCEPT for when Henry is in the scene.He is boring, lifeless and just one big yawn. He has no finesse whatsoever. His delivery is awful and he is bringing the show down to a screeching halt.I have NO IDEA what they saw in him upon casting, but there is no chemistry at all that comes through when he is on screen.By the way ... I just LOVED the gal that played the "Aunt" who was in the Navy. What a great character she was. I would like to see her come back as a regular.I want the show to stay on the air, I really do ... I just think they need to rethink the role of Henry. I still think it early enough to recast. Seriously ... we all learned to love the new Darren, didn't we?
View MoreI found this little comedy engaging and fun. I wasn't sure how William Shatner would pull off comedy when I started the pilot but, I was very satisfied. His timing was perfect. Jonathon Sadowski is very funny as his neurotic, out of touch younger son. Will Sasso is ALWAYS funny to watch. Nicole Sullivan is over the top but, that's why we all love her. I watched the pilot episode and then, begged my girlfriend to watch it with me, again(we have 2 dvrs in my house). She laughed so hard that she said her sides hurt. And this is someone who has never been a fan of William Shatner's. This show is absolutely on our "Must Record Weekly" list. I'm really hoping this show gets picked up for several seasons.
