Made in Toronto. Glad I left TO...
This just seems like so typical of the city I grew up in, detested, and eventually left. It is just cheap dribble.Just AWFUL.
shareI'm sure they miss you as well, you sound delightful.
Episode 1 started promisingly. I loved the idea of the baby fight, but it didn't quite deliver, apart from the cat bit.
The rest was the same. Decent ideas and well executed, but not funny.
I'll stay with it a bit longer in the hope it might reward the ideas with some laughs.
Yeah, something really funny. Like maybe a show about a judge or a teacher that disobeys all the laws, sleeps around, drinks and parties. Or maybe about some gay couples with a lot of innuendo thrown in, that's really funny too. Or a dysfunctional family where the guy is a bozo, and the wife is smart, and they have a rebellious teen and a smart kid. Or hey, a bunch of single guys that are looking for women, that's really funny.
This dumb Sunnyside show doesn't have any of that. They need to get their act together and use the kind of material that 90% of the prime time shows use, or else get serious and show people singing and dancing while they get judged by famous people that are not currently in rehab. Good ol' mainstream stuff that good hard-working, football-loving mainstream folks can understand, none of this indie-style stuff, if that stuff was any good the big guys would have bought it up and made it better like all the rest.
Had a bad day glroberts?
Seriously I agree with most of what you say (I'd argue that the writing makes Modern Family funny however many seasons on). But although the ideas in Sunnyside are still a breath of fresh air, and it has kept me watching this and hopefully future series, it makes me smile rather than laugh. But that's still good. Most new comedies just make me angry.
