Cramped


This shows biggest weakness was the half hour time-slot. Everything about the show felt claustrophobic. The lines were crammed in and the jokes didn't even have time to hit. They couldn't even really flesh out the characters with the time allotted. The plots lacked any real depth because there was no time to give them depth. I honestly think this show would have been a keeper in an hour format.

I totally agree, but a one hour weekly comedy won't work either. The pacing should have been slowed waaaay down and the dialog reduced by 75 percent. This show had no timing, no pacing, and was an amaterish,incompetent production. Robin Williams deserved far better. Great cast, but nobody could save this mess. Had they directed the show properly, it would have been a huge hit. Claustrophobic...you described it perfectly.
