I think they were positioned as opposite ends of the spectrum for any potential new viewers. Begin with the over-the-top crowd pleaser, close with the quiet character piece and watch how we pull both off with ease.

^^ agree that that's how they came off, but apparently they were going to show the conspiracy episode instead of the zombie one until the network remembered that the conspiracy one is full of people fake-shooting each other.

did they show rape episodes of all the cop shows that usually feature murders, too? or one of the occasional 'we handle child abductions too' episodes?

idk u would have to check with their showrunner on twitter.

SPOILER FREE
I knew when Jeff was running in the rain that he was going where he was going, because going to that other person would be to cheesy/sentimental even for this show.

what's worse: a terrible single camera sitcom or a terrible multi-camera sitcom? i theorize that the best single camera sitcom is always better than the best multi-camera sitcom, but that even the worst multi-camera sitcom is more tolerable than a bad single camera sitcom.

Yeah, I knew she was going to be in this (and the other brunette is the pregnant agent from Flash Forward).

This is the pilot, right? It's really trying too hard.

probably for the best. i feel like if there was a little less noise this would be even worse

so the one relationship has a tempestuous hate/sex relationship, the other the wife is a controlling shrew, and the third couple is the straight-man?
― Mordy, Friday, 21 January 2011 01:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Interested to see how this does, because the shows we all hate seem to end up being rather popular with the unwashed masses.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 21 January 2011 01:43 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't know about that. i hated Hank and they cancelled that. also there was that really terrible relationship show recently that i can't even remember the name of that was terrible and swiftly gone

i feel like a laugh track could help this show bc then i'd know which lines i'm supposed to laugh at

there's a couples show on abc inbetween the shows i like on wed. night and its bad like this. both shows have normal scary people as leads. like people from commercials.

so glad that jenna elfman show isn't on anymore. i felt compelled to watch it for some reason. just horrible. i can't watch the william shatner one either.
i must confess i often skip community to watch big bang theory. but i will see all the communities eventually. on one of those nights when they show like six in a row.
― scott seward, Friday, 21 January 2011 01:52 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm shocked that you find bbt funnier than community, scott. have u seen the bbt w/out laugh track vid that was going around for a bit?

mike and molly is terrible too. poor swoosie kurtz. she deserves so much more in life.

i can't help it! i like both of them. big bang theory isn't as good lately. but i still like it.
no i didn't see show without laugh track.

the "i'm not that cool" speech lifted from brita telling annie "i'm not that cool," this house destruction to feel better scene ripped directly from HIMYM
― Mordy, Friday, 21 January 2011 01:57 (thirteen years ago) link
there has not been a single original moment in this show, and like someone pointed out before, the 3 different couples premise is a direct lift from Better With You
i don't think i ever noticed how handsome troy is on community until the bar episode! he is really handsome. i just never looked at him very closely or something.
i didn't know that he had a band called childish gambino either. in real life.
