Gandalf the Grey takes in a test screening of David Zucker's new TV pilot HUD

David Zucker, Bad Motherfucker by Adam Mantioba	Apr 27th, 2000 03:08:05 AM
Please please please let this air! Anyone of the reporters for the Daily Show have so much comedic talent, and this show sounds like it could be real creative and funny. "Freaks and Geeks" is the only thing good on NBC nowdays...oops. Roger, roger.
HUD IS A DUD by DocPhibes	Apr 27th, 2000 05:56:17 AM
I was at that test screening too, and all HUD is is just a rip off of GET SMART right down to the pairing of an agent 86 and 99. This is a show for all those who think BASEKETBALL is a good movie. From what I could tell, the test just went average.
HUD kicks ass by alicenwonderland	Apr 27th, 2000 01:47:00 PM
Whine all you want that "HUD" is a rip-off of "Get Smart." Who cares? Name a successful show on the air that isn't a "rip-off" of another. The bottom line is, "HUD" was hilarious, definitely a breath of fresh air considering all the other sitcom crap on the air (and in development.) Would you rather have another "Friends" clone? How about another year of "Caroline in the City?"
Picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue... by Hudson Hawk	Apr 27th, 2000 02:26:54 PM
Hey, isn't Robert Stack usually in Zucker productions? Airplane, Police Story (Naked Gun), etc. Anyway, I'm psyched for anything unusually funny hitting the networks. Still reeling from the cancellation of Stark Raving Mad. Funny, original, give us the goods ZUCK!
HUD IS SO GODDAMN FUNNY by Samson	Apr 27th, 2000 03:11:46 PM
I went to another test screening on Monday, and no one had any clue what show was going to be shown. All we knew it was another "NBC SHOW". And to my shock, I was laughing hysterically throughout. The show was silly and outlandish, and it put a smile on my face for over thirty minutes. Also, to that idiot who compares Zucker with that BASEKETBALL movie...screw you! Zucker is responsible for some of the greatest comedies of all time, and if he happens to have a flop every once in a while, so be it. At least BASEKETBALL was trying to be original. Does Spielberg get compared to ALWAYS and 1941? HUD is great, and let's hope NBC has the balls to put it on the air.
OH YEAH.... by Styx101	Apr 27th, 2000 03:51:58 PM
Hey, I read the script for HUD, and I thought it was really clever and ingenious. But Zucker didn't write it by himself. It also comes from a Seinfeld writer, a guy named Steve Koren. I think Zucker is just the director on the pilot? Anyways, this should have no trouble getting on. All the other NBC shows suck....

This was fucking hystericle. Zucker is on top of his game. I don't know who wrote it, but he/she is one to look out for. I don't know if it has got picked up (IT SHOULD!), but it will be a cult classic (ala GET A LIFE).
Yes please! by mephisto666	Apr 27th, 2000 04:45:44 PM
Airplane! still has to be my favourite comedy of all time, and if this is even remotely like that, I want it broadcast and then imported over here to England so I can watch it. If I have to see one more episode of Ally McBeal I shall cry. She's starting to remind me of that house in Poltergeist that kind of gets sucked in on itself...sorry, my mother drank while she was pregnant...
lotr teaser by patou	Apr 28th, 2000 07:50:39 AM
How come we see boromir holding the ring in the teaser.....i don't think frodo let's him do that in the book???
Salenger as a sexy secret agent! wow!!! by SmartyPants	Jun 4th, 2000 12:46:54 AM
Wow! If you thought the chick from GET SMART was a good "Agent 99" Meredith Salenger will knock your socks off! I cannot get over that this girl who was so great as a young actress is still so talented and so beautiful! I wondered where she went after I loved her in "Dream A Little Dream" and then I found out she graduated from HARVARD! Is she married? I hope NBC picks this show up - just so I can see her every week!
