First episode sucked


The scripted moments on Impractical Jokers are always unbearable so it's no surprise an entire show of scripted segments would be painful.

I'll give it more chances because of who's involved, but I don't have much hope in it getting better.

DONE! 2nd episode was worse than first. I wanted to turn it off within the first 5 minutes, the bank skit was just cringeworthy. I love the spontaneity of Impractical Jokers but the acting in these skits is painful to watch. Won't be watching a third time.......

Ratings don't seem to be good either. Much of Impractical Jokers's viewers didn't carry over to Jokers Wild this past week. I imagine many of those who did watch were the ones who hated the first episode and were only watching to give the show one more chance.

It's worth noting that the series is only getting a run of six episodes. At this point, the odds of it becoming a regular series (assuming that's their goal) don't look good.

Thanks for the info! I think pulling the plug after the initial 6 are through airing and not renewing it is the best thing to do. I don't see it getting better. Im not even sure what the concept of this show is supposed to be-it feels so discombobulated, its like they aren't even sure themselves of what direction it's going in. Unless it undergoes a major revamp, I hope they have the sense to cancel it before it impedes the quality and popularity of 'Impractical Jokers'. Honestly,Im surprised a network executive watched these episodes of 'Jokers Wild' and actually greenlit them to air at all!

This was terrible. Just stick to I.J. Are they out of material for that show already?

It wasn't really funny at all, n the 2nd episode isn't any better. The bank in the 2nd episode was funnyish but ya.... I think I'm good.

reply

The third episode still wasn't good. The outtakes can be funny, but it's because they are themselves in that moment.

reply

Yup, thru 3 episodes in and I'm sticking with my rating of 4/10...slightly funny moments but I've hardly laughed at all. Like u said outtakes r ok sometimes n might be the best part of the show...

Love them but scripted just isn't what their good at..
