From my favorite movies..

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Although the laughs were somewhat scarce, and the scripts a little under-developed, the chemistry within the cast was undeniable. I have to admit, that while this was not a "Seinfeld" or "The Office", for the first season of a new comedy, this was a showpiece that NBC hadn't had for a long time. This show actually showed promise. Unlike "The War at Home", which for some reason is still running, this was a tasteful, relatively smart comedy. For whatever reason, the only TV success Seth Green has had, is "Family Guy", which miraculously made its return only a short while ago. Everyone was cast well in their parts, and they were all believable as friends. Frankly, this show had some potential, and I can't recommend you watch it, because there's absolutely no point. However, I wish this show had stuck around a little longer, because it deserved to.

The pilot episode was only mediocre, but I am not disappointed that I stuck it out. The writers are doing a pretty good job of developing the characters, and it's starting to pay off. The episode's following the pilot are pretty funny, and I expect it will keep getting better. Seth Green always plays his part well. The support cast is developing as well. In particular, Green's boss and the CEO have added a lot to the show. The writers have done a good job of weaving all the characters in with the two bosses. I would like to see the setting developed a little more. I know that sounds picky, but shows like Will and Grace, Friends, etc. are supported by their set. So far, the apartment hasn't really been developed all that well. It's still early, though. Keep an eye on this show. It has potential to be great.

I love Seth Green, I really do. But this show was so awful! The jokes were forced and the same old and predictable. The scene with the personal trainer I could almost quote without having ever seen the episode before. I have not seen anything so pathetic since the ill-fated "Martin Short Show." However, after saying that, I may watch another episode to give it another chance. Sometimes the pilot episode spends so much time setting things up that it loses substance. NBC is trying so hard to get some good, new comedies out there and so far has only "Earl."

I normally like Seth Green in anything he does, but as the Barney Fife/Jack Mcfarland comedy relief character in this show, he's terrible. It's not his fault of course, it's the terrible writing. This show is awful, the characters have no chemistry. It's always a bad sign during promos when they pitch the show with the words: "from the creators of...". In this case, it's "from the creators of Will and Grace", as though the TV-viewing public is supposed to instantly like the show just because it's from the creators of another hit show. In one awful scene in the pilot, Seth Green repeatedly propositions his brother's girlfriend, right in front of his brother. It might have been funny if written properly, but Green comes off as a creepy pervert instead of a two-dimensional clown, a la Jack Mcfarland. I don't see this show lasting very long at all, people just won't watch it.
