kcalikarate Everything I have allowed myself to get attached to over the years has been canceled recently (Las Vegas, The Dead Zone, The 4400, etc.) Finally, a decent show with great writing comes along with great acting to boot, and of course it's in danger of being canceled...I lost Day Break and Studio 60 recently too - I can't trust television at all.Even if the show has to be an online-only type thing to at least keep the story going, I'll take anything at this point, heh.Please, all you fans out there for this show - keep this one alive - not only for me, but for all fellow Carpoolers out there.
gvd-2 All I can say is thank the lord I didn't watch the commercials. That would reward ABC for putting this trash on the tube.There should be no such reward; this show blows and blows HARD.I tried to like/watch the show, but after fifteen minutes I gave up entirely. It's just not possible. The plot line was drop dead BORING and recycled quite literally from The Cosby Show. Except when Cosby did it, the actor the plot revolved around was six -- not TWENTY SIX! This isn't a case of simply the old "adults reverting back to childhood" type plot line, but more of a "oh, this character is simply unbelievable even for a microsecond" type plot line.Every single character lands flat, without exception. Granted, they don't have much to work with, but the guy who plays the obvious Napoleon Dynamite ripoff may as well be acting with his rear, as his head surely lacks the capability to extract any funny lines whatsoever.Fifteen minutes, not a single laugh. Not a chuckle, not a guffaw, not a snort, *nothing*. EPIC FAIL as a comedy.
Rachel I have never heard of this show. No ones mentioned it, never saw an advertisement or anything. But being nothing to watch on TV with this whole writers strike thing, my husband and i went to our on demand and saw this title. We looked at the info and i rolled my eyes, thinking that since all the good shows are on hiatus, any stupid show can get on. But, we gave it a try since we really wanted to watch something. And seriously, to my surprise, this show had us laughing so hard. We got to watch 3 episodes and we cant wait for more. Sooooo funny. I love the friendship between the men, because seriously, how often do you get to see that? And, the strange son of one of the main characters has us in tears. And, Jerry OConnel....just brilliant! Give this show a try!
Nightcrawlr825 I watched the sub-par pilot of Cavemen and was pretty disappointed with the show when I saw my first ad for Carpoolers. I decided to give the show a chance and I found it very funny. I have seen two episodes(first two aired) so far and I can easily see this show as being my next "Friends", which is my favorite sitcom to date. The show has four primarily main characters: Aubrey who has several kids (more than 5) and an unseen wife, Laird who just got divorced and lost everything to his wife, Dougie who is the new guy who so far seems to get hit by a lot of cars, and Gracen, a psychiatrist who has a wife and a son who has yet to move out on his own.I strongly encourage people to give this show a chance, and i personally hope this show has a long lifespan.
