TV: Episodes

Post by 15showsandcounting »

Anyone been watching this? What a great show. I never cared for Friends, but Matt LaBlanc (sp?) is phenomenal in this series. He obviously has no problem laughing at himself, which makes for some great comedy.

LaBlanc plays himself as a washed up actor that will never again regain Joey fame. A married couple from England is hired and brought to Hollywood to work on the pilot of their show "Pucks", which is ruined as it is Americanized. For one, they don't even want LaBlanc as the lead actor for the show, but the tv execs do. It deals a lot with the debauchery and ridiculousness of Hollywood.

Sounds like a really great premise. I should watch this thing.

It's on Showtime after Shameless and House of Lies. The former is another great show.

Yes. Shameless rocks. House of Lies is okay. Having Don Cheadle doesn't hurt.

I think House of Lies is great. Took a couple of episodes to accept how crass it is, but its really well done.

Yeah. I've definitely kept up on it. However, it's more of a fun show than anything else, kind of like Entourage. Nothing ground-breaking, but a good time nonetheless.

I don't have Showtime now but I did see the first two seasons. I thought it was inconsistent but it certainly had some strong episodes and got more than a few laughs from me. A pretty decent satirical take on show business when it hits. And Matt LeBlanc surprised me too. He may not have much range as an actor but he did handle the broad humor of the Joey character extremely well & that same skill is on display here.

The season finales were both fantastic. Nothing like seeing a bunch of wussies throw down.

Then stop there. My 16th show (Wrigley) was quite disappointing!
