Produced by Steve Carell! So it must be good!


Is what I found myself saying watching a preview for something that looked like it would bomb right away. I am a fan of The Office. Most of the time Steve Carell is a funny guy so if he is putting his own money in to this it is worth a chance? Right?

After watching that preview I was still skeptical so I watched all the previews still skeptical, felt I owed it to Steve Carell to give it a chance or something I don't know why.

Watched the first episode on Hulu, and every 5 minutes or so kept pausing it to remark on how horrible it was.

Two of the scenarios were fine The thing where it tilts (the main game) and the one in the dark. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS UTTER AND COMPLETE GARBAGE. Those Two types of games accounted for what...12 minutes of the 44 minute or so program? A comedy that makes you "sort of" laugh around 25% of the time is a failure in every possible sense of the word.

The host seemed like he didn't even know what he was doing. Like he was just kind of thrust into this role.

In every possible way all I saw was "Not even half as good as Whose Line is it Anyway" Oh look celebrities to try and distract from how bad this show is.

Usually I am all about giving stuff a chance but this show is Godawful I expected it to only air the one episode. By some miracle it made it to 4.

Felt the same way about Gang Related I only watched that for Terry O' Quinn turns out that got cancelled as well. Surprising no one on both fronts.
