Did u like it when joan talked to the audience in season 1???


im glad they discontinued it

I wasn't a fan. The asides never added anything to the moment, more often than not she stated the obvious or dropped some cliche that took away the enjoyment of events because it was so inane.

Yea I remember they did the same thing with Martin show.They dropped it after the 1st season.

Martin did opening monologues which are completely different. Joan was more like Zack in Saved by the Bell where everything stops just so the character can give some commentary.

I wish some of the characters would have acknowledged Joan stopping to break the 4th wall just to highlight how crazy she was. I can see Maya now, "Joan? Joan, sweetie...who are you talking to?"

It was OK except for sometimes it went on too long & sort of disrupted the scene. Show flowed better without it IMO

reply

I actually liked it. I found it hilarious for the most part.

reply

It was dumb IMO and I'm glad they stopped. I did likedit when Cheadle did it in House of Lies

reply

Talking to the audience is always unnecessary and silly to me.
Forget the audience.

Sometimes it was funny, but I'm glad they gave it a rest after the first season.
