This show is Terrible!!

Actually, that's how The Naked Gun movies were. Inept cops with a lot of sight gags. Frank Drebin punches Khomeni in the first scene and he has a rainbow mohawk underneath. Then he rubs off Gorbachev's forehead birthmark. Then he laments about how everything reminds him of his ex, starting with the two domes that look like huge breasts.

What do you think the "drinking problem" gag was in Airplane? It was humor exactly like this.

Is this show as good as those? No, but it isn't bad and you can tell the actors had a lot of fun with it. Which clearly you don't seem capable of.

It's honestly no different from every other Carell movie, or Apatow movie, or any movie with Rogen/Cera/Hill. I think it's more that you are among the intelligent people who have come to realise that these people were never actually funny and only got to where they are because of the people they know.

Now if only people would realise that Aziz Ansari is about as funny as being molested by a polar bear.

I'm a Steve Carrell fan most of the time, but I agree, this show is not funny and doesn't work. I love stuff like Vampires Suck, Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans, so was hoping this would be 30 minutes in the same vein, but I didn't even make it through the first show before I switched to another channel.

And the ad with Carrell and his wife is so annoying. I believe the correct usage of the British phrase is to take "the" piss out of something; saying you're taking "a" piss out of something means the same thing on both sides of the pond, that you're taking a whizz out of something -- which makes no sense unless you're doing laundry or swamping the head.

I like it. There are some episodes where there are long stretches where I don't laugh at all but for the most part I find it entertaining. I like this type of comedy.

You must have a horrible sense of humor. I truly, truly feel bad for you.

Somewhat Disappointed -- Waiting for Laugh-Out-Loud Moments

I loved the original Get Smart TV series and Police Squad and Airplane and The Naked Gun and Anchorman and both versions of The Office. I always enjoyed many laugh-out-loud moments in them.

I’ve watched the first five episodes of Angie Tribeca. Though I’ve generally liked the show, and I have smiled at some moments,* I haven’t found any laugh-out-loud moments other than a few of the scenes with Alfred Molina who’s uncredited as Dr. Edelweiss. I’ll probably watch the remaining episodes of season one, but I’m less enthusiastic about the show after watching the first five episodes than I was after I’d read a few articles about it before I watched it.

* An officer body tracing a dead baker using an aerosol can of whipped cream; Lisa Kudrow's cameo in the pilot; James Franco’s cameo as Sgt. Eddie Pepper, Angie Tribeca’s ill-fated fiancé; a not-yet-dead woman in her late 90s or early 100s being examined by coroner Dr. Scholls who diagnoses the woman as having been either shot to death or smothered with a pillow; John Michael Higgins as antique store owner Dr. Zaius offering Tribeca and Geils cups of coffee that tasted horribly only because it had been brewed by Napoleon Bonaparte and had been sitting in an old, dusty pitcher in the antique shop, and then offering them a potato chip from the Kennedy administration.

If it is what it is, what is it?

Yeah I don't like it either. Which is too bad cause I like the people that are in front and behind the camera in other stuff.

yes it's probably one of the worst pieces of garbages to ever make it on the air. but you know what, steve carrell did it, with his wife even! so you know all the kids are going to like it.. whether it is terrible or not (which it is), because steve carrell, and rashida jones being on every single show basically is funny, and the "cool thing" nowadays... just try and stop it!
