DO NOT DISTURB, From Some Of The Folks Behind ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, May Be The Worst New Show Of The Year!!

Never heard of it.... by DarthTarter	Sep 10th, 2008 01:51:37 PM
But I like Jerry O'Connell...he needs a new agent. Maybe time for Sliders: The Next Generation!

"IT STINKS!"
Jerry O' Connell can't catch a break by The Winged Doucheman	Sep 10th, 2008 01:54:47 PM
Sliders was good. And of course.."Dis Cush".
How about Jerry O' Connel and Charlie O' Connel by The Winged Doucheman	Sep 10th, 2008 01:58:25 PM
in: "O'Connel 2 O'Connel".
i caught this leaked pilot by Mr_X	Sep 10th, 2008 02:04:05 PM
and its fucking horseshit it's on fox? well cancell it motherfuckers, its actually a show that deserves to be cancelled this time around.
But, O'Connell still has a hot wife by Heckles	Sep 10th, 2008 02:05:57 PM
So he has that going for him. This show looked like a turd from the commercials. Thanks for the warning, Herc. What's the best new comedy, by the way?
And Sliders was shit beyond the pilot by Heckles	Sep 10th, 2008 02:07:26 PM
Premise wasted, just like Voyager. Bad sci-fi like that makes it harder for the genre to go mainstream (see: BSG)
Sounds like a winner! by GrandMuffTarkin	Sep 10th, 2008 02:17:22 PM
Now I need to see it just for the fuck of it. Will it be better (worse) than The Ropers? Remember Jefffrey Tambor in the opening of that sitcom with the plunger? Classic.
Jason Bateman directed this??!! by skimn	Sep 10th, 2008 02:20:48 PM
When he was hawking Hancock on the talk shows this summer, he showed himself to be a genuinely funny guy. Was he forced by gunpoint to direct this, or did he need a credit on his DGA card that badly? And does Comedy Central pay the Reno cast so poorly they have to whore themselves out to other, lower projects? And for this they cancelled Back To You? At least that had some pros behind it...and it showed some promise.
Used 2 think Bateman and O'Connel were the same guy by Squashua	Sep 10th, 2008 02:29:30 PM
But the guy from "Valerie's Family" and the kid from "My Secret Identity" were not the same. So, this man who is self-conscious about his wooden eye goes to a dance, but no one wants to dance with him. He sees this woman standing all alone across the room and approaches her. She turns to him and she has a harelip. Desperately, he asks, "Would you like to dance with me?" Her face lights up and she excitedly proclaims, "Would I? Would I?", to which the man responds, screaming, "HARELIP! HARELIP!"
How about Jerry O'Connel in by crazybubba	Sep 10th, 2008 02:33:45 PM
Revenge of the Bachelor
is this the one with the lame commercial about not eating? by jccalhoun	Sep 10th, 2008 02:49:35 PM
If this is the one with the woman who doesn't eat and is vain that I've seen advertised it looks like bad 80s crud. What is it that people who approve tv shows smoke? Crap like this gets on the air so does that mean that the others are even more horrible?
I TOTALLY AGREE! This show is SHIT! by FuckMichaelBay	Sep 10th, 2008 03:29:33 PM
Niecy Nash should be transported back in time to when her character wasn't a horrible racial stereotype. The shot composition alone was cringe-worthy.

Arrested Development... by flickerbat	Sep 10th, 2008 04:24:29 PM
...was a boring, one-note show, but with a talented cast. This isn't that surprising.
Arrested Development by skimn	Sep 10th, 2008 04:46:59 PM
...one note??? I have to go home now...My head it hurts...
flickerbat: AD was ONE NOTE!? by FuckMichaelBay	Sep 10th, 2008 05:15:08 PM
Just because you didn't get the jokes doesn't mean AD wasn't funny. AD writers threw jokes under the bus for shits'n'giggles.
BLIND! MY EYES! MY EYES! by kravmaguffin	Sep 10th, 2008 05:32:39 PM
I WISH I WAS BLIND! Keep it Jerry and you'll end up working SciFi Conventions charging $30 for an autograph from "Star of Sliders"... gfy
Soon to be replaced by-- by thegreatwhatzit	Sep 10th, 2008 05:40:01 PM
THE HIGH PITCH ERIC SHOW. Extricating himslf from Howard Stern's shadow, High Pitch proves himself more versatile than Seinfeld (NBC press release).
I wanted to like "Carpoolers"... by Bob Loblaw Law Blog	Sep 10th, 2008 06:30:03 PM
because I really enjoyed Fred Goss' show "Sons & Daughters," which ABC canceled after less than a season. That show was pretty funny, even with the stupid "The dialogue in Sons & Daughters is partially improvised" disclaimer ABC put before it to make sure the general public understood that they would not be prompted when to laugh by a studio audience. They never even released it on DVD because the production company couldn't afford to license the songs for a box set. Too bad... luckily, I've got the episodes saved on my hard drive. "Carpoolers" was so bad, I couldn't even finish the pilot episode. It's hard to believe this show is actually worse. Looks like Jerry O'Connell is just prime-time comedy poison.
Ted McGinley > Jerry O' Connell by The Winged Doucheman	Sep 10th, 2008 06:51:33 PM

Jerry O’Connell: All I needed to know by wash	Sep 10th, 2008 07:12:03 PM
He has the Midas touch...OF SHIT
laugh track? it's actually filmed before a live studio audience. by I87D	Sep 10th, 2008 07:12:24 PM
true story.
Thank god by SilentP	Sep 10th, 2008 08:50:18 PM
I would have been pretty pissed if this show was supposed to be good, and I felt like I had to put up with Jerry fucking O'Connell for the sake of the arrested development guys. God, he's terrible.
I seen it and didn't like it, but.... by Amy Chasing	Sep 10th, 2008 09:48:00 PM
I liked Carpoolers. Marmaduke was funny.
Norm! by The McPoyle Clan	Sep 10th, 2008 11:03:56 PM
Isn't it ironic that Cheers is being pimped on the same page as this crap? O'Connell may be Midas of Crap, but he goes home to Rebecca Romijn every night and we don't.
FUCK YOU! CARPOOLERS was brilliant. by SnapT	Sep 10th, 2008 11:33:44 PM
Most underrated show of the season. Marmaduke forever!
Also, ABC needs to give Marmaduke his own show already. by SnapT	Sep 10th, 2008 11:38:24 PM
If CARPOOLERS was THE MARMADUKE HOUR (and it was only 15 minutes) it would've been a big hit. And on that note, networks need to start doing 15-minute shows already. 30 minutes is way too long for a sitcom. But I digress.
Also, "dramas" should be cut from an hour to 30 minutes. by SnapT	Sep 10th, 2008 11:42:30 PM
ENTOURAGE is so nice to watch because it doesn't overstay its welcome. You're like "it's over already?" at the end and you look forward to the next episode. Meanwhile, an hour-long episode of CSI: NY feels like you've been watching it for three months by the end.
Arrested Development... by flickerbat	Sep 11th, 2008 02:39:56 AM
David Cross MIGHT be gay! His wife (and her mother, and Job) are vapid! The dad is a liar! Fonzie! Michael Cera's one expression (which follows him to every other acting job). The frustration it all causes Michael! Like I said, a talented cast, but a show that short on material deserved it's short run. Believe me, I tried, and I did get the jokes - the same one they did week after week after week...
yeah, Arrested Development did the same jokes over & over again by Amy Chasing	Sep 11th, 2008 03:20:23 AM
But in so many different situations and yet the characters still didn't learn - that was its charm.
Do we really need another blonde bitch character?! by Anna Valerious	Sep 11th, 2008 07:04:00 AM
I'm getting sick of seeing those. It's a cliche that needs to stop NOW. I was on the fence about the show, but now with the crap reception, I'm not watching.
They cant win by Six Demon Bag	Sep 11th, 2008 08:03:34 AM
When people try to make high brow genus comedy for TV, it gets cancelled. Now they go to the extreme opposite!
Hotel Babylon only good show about hotels by Stormwatcher	Sep 11th, 2008 09:08:23 AM
Man I have been working in exclusive and top rated hotels my whole life and can say that there is so much shit that goes on that's comedy gold but no one gets it right. Hotel Babylon on BBC is pretty good, worth the time but there's still so much that could be mined out of it. Just the other day I had to deal with a guy who was adament that the woman in his room was his buddies not his and that his buddy was staying with him and he was all mad that we told her his name and the whole time I am watching security footage of him with her for 8 days, no one else around so basically he's given her a fake name but put his real name on the room. People do messed up things in hotels. I found 50k in Chinese money once and a machete under a mattress. Crazy things.
Really, really, really...BAD! by proton45	Sep 11th, 2008 09:24:41 AM
I didn't really mind "Carpoolers"... it was generic fluff but at least the tempo kept bouncing along, but "DND" actually depressed me...I was actually sad after the credits rolled.
I watched literally 2 minutes of this by mthrndr	Sep 11th, 2008 10:16:51 AM
and I shut it off. How does garbage like this get greenlit?
Simply made to make by skimn	Sep 11th, 2008 11:08:50 AM
Till Death look good by comparison. All part of Brad Garrett's plan to remain on tv, and Fox's plan to keep Joely Fisher's breasts on network rotation.

Isn't it obvious... by MortGuffman	Sep 11th, 2008 12:25:36 PM

Isn't it obvious... by MortGuffman	Sep 11th, 2008 12:27:04 PM
...that Higgenbotham and Bateman made this PURPOSELY bad as revenge for "Arrested Development" being cancelled. This could very well be the "Freddy Got Fingered" of television.
Higgenbotham and Bateman have this on by skimn	Sep 11th, 2008 01:51:38 PM
their resume as a GOTCHA!..? I somehow doubt it.
Carpoolers was funny by Mr.Meanie	Sep 11th, 2008 02:19:26 PM
don't be a hater....
Carpoolers was funny... but this sure isn't. by Pdorwick	Sep 11th, 2008 03:28:04 PM
Loved Carpoolers but this show is godawful.
Do Not Disturb by Atropos	Sep 11th, 2008 03:48:43 PM
This was so bad I had to stop watching after 3 minutes. That hasn't happened to me before, ever.
I think it sounds great, actually... by BadMrWonka	Sep 11th, 2008 11:29:42 PM
also, I think the war in Iraq is going really well, and Lost just keeps getting better as a show...
Remember HOT_L Baltimore? by BlindOgre	Sep 12th, 2008 12:17:42 AM
This show reminded me a bit of the old sitcom HOT L Baltimore... but this one is focused on the trivial staff and is not nearly as funny, just a tired and lazy sort of commonly lewd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H ot_L_Baltimore
It can't be worse than Reba. by Uncle Stan	Sep 12th, 2008 05:59:49 AM

Considering how wrong you were on Fringe by geraldbeans	Sep 12th, 2008 08:39:23 PM
(man did that show suck) I'm willing to give this one a shot now!
