A Sad, Sad State of Play
13 August 2007
Television Comedy is in a sad sad state if this is considered one of the best comedies on TV. The jokes are cheep, and formulaic. Instead of playing to the lowest common denominator they are in fact lowering the bar. The characters are impossible to connect with being little more than cheep stereotypes. It's like a badly written SNL take off of Studio 60 that just wont die. I'd give it a 1 but I like the production design. I can only imagining they bought their Emmy nominations. Visually it's irritating. They can't seem to decide if they're filming The Office or Law and Order. What happened to the days of the live studio audience? Are they afraid the audience just wont laugh. Many of the jokes are so bad and offensive any self respecting audience would walk out. Or possibly go old school and start throwing thing. Don't support this show. Demand something better! Demand comedy with thought put into it that doesn't insult our intelligence.
