betch9 This show is not worth the time. The acting is pretty bad and the story line is just over the top. The kid graduates college but can't/doesn't want too/won't join the real world. The writing is really predictable and not funny. I've that a lot of the dialog is improvised which explains the lack of wit and really nonexistent story lines within the episodes. This show may hit home with some but if it does you probably will find it and his friend 'Dub' funny. I wouldn't expect it to be around for long as it has no redeeming qualities other than Fox proclaiming it the "funniest new show." Saying it as much as they like won't make it true. Production dollars would be spent better elsewhere.
Frankie Ray i worked on the 6th episode. and had a great time. Many may not know but the entire show is Improved. it is not scripted. so the comedy is and filming is fast. i play mayo the dog catcher. i was treated great and had a wonderful time. i hope the show continues and the network picks up some more shows. not often does an actor get the chance to have an open book to work from we always get stuffed into the writers work that has been hashed over by many other people that should have left it alone. the director Mr Thomas was great allot of fun to work with and i hope i get a chance to do so again. he was giving and kind. Frankie Ray. p.s. go dove. go to my space and find Free ride and check out some of the behind the scene video interviews mine is the last one.
th3w0z As an Arrested Development disciple (let's all pause for a moment of silence), I was shocked at how funny this show was. I just caught an episode and the first thought that popped into my mind was how ridiculously stereotypically the best friend was (the crazy party animal). But I let that go and continued to watch and before I knew it I was holding my sides. All of the character (in the same style as AD) are uniquely crazy, except of course for the lead kid. The story seems very 'real'; you quickly forget how crazy the story is and get caught up in the characters. There are some great one-liners, and with the absence of a laugh track, you don't feel nearly as dumb watching this as most other sitcoms. Watch this show- I'm hoping that it makes the big time because it was very enjoyable.
Indie_Mod Ever seen the classic "Ordinary People?" Remember when Conrad is dealing with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with his brother's death? Remember "Stand By Me" and the main character's missing his dead brother as well?It's not like any of these.It's much more like "Orange County." The main character, Nate (Josh Dean) came home from college. He's had a change of plans in terms of what he will be doing. His parents' marriage is on the fritz and they're going through marriage counseling while making inappropriate comments to Nate. Nate's old buddy (sort of) named Dove is like an imitation Jack Black('s character in Orange County). Only one episode has aired, so we'll see what happens to the series... I have a feeling it won't last too long, but for some reason, Josh Dean's character made me chuckle. Why was I watching Fox anyway?
