robertandrewbacon Half of this show is watching a tiny, unfunny man in his 50's complain about his beautiful wife half his age while she uses her cleavage to try and distract you from the fact that she has no acting ability. The other half is poorly acted dialogue that would have been thrown out of any level 1 writing class.The show borrows heavily from other, more successful, show styles without knowing what makes those shows great. We're presented with documentary style interviews that are really just there because the writers have no idea how to write dialogue or plot so they use it as a crutch. No other parts of the show hint that this is a documentary and the cinematography doesn't emulate a documentary style either. It's mostly shot like a Soap Opera.We're also presented with some of the worst stand up I've ever seen in my life. It's just lazy, unrelatable garbage that Rob Schneider thinks others should hear because his ego is so massive he has no idea how unfunny he actually is. It doesn't help that Schneider dresses like a used car salesman from 2005 and acts like a selfish, egotistical garbage person during the entire runtime of an episode.Nothing in this show feels "real" like the title implies, but instead feels like Rob Schneider is trying to show off how awesome he is. There are zero original, real, or funny concepts presented at any point during an episode. You will be presented with plenty of tired, lazy, and nonsensical ramblings.I blame Adam Sandler for casting his buddy in so many of his films that Rob Schneider became a household name and millionaire. Without that money Rob would never be able to fund these insipid projects.

belgarion-33222 I wasn't sure what to expect from this series. "Rob" was a bit of a letdown, but I generally enjoy Mr. Schneider's work. I feel with the artistic freedom Mr. Schneider enjoys with this show, he has created a fine piece of entertainment that truly highlights some of the issues facing Hollywood celebrities (and sometimes we lesser beings;) Celebrity privilege, spousal jealousy, family leeches, balancing work and family; Real Rob examines these and other issues with an outrageous comedic eye that has my wife and I laughing out loud every episode.Mr. Schneider and Mr. Lissow are believable and genuine. Every episode I wonder what new disaster they are going to get into. Great acting, excellent writing.I felt the first couple episodes were somewhat weak. Maybe it was the inevitability of the audience getting to know the characters, but I felt something was missing that was picked up in later episodes. So if you find yourself wanting to turn off the pilot halfway through, try to give it a few more episodes before deciding. Maybe the parodies in the characters were overdone and the mechanics of the relationships not obvious enough in the pilot. When I first watched it, I found myself wondering again and again why Rob didn't just fire Jamie and get a real assistant. The answer is obvious by ~episode 3, but I did suffer that initial confusion.I highly recommend Real Rob to anyone looking for a light comedy that underscores some real issues Hollywood celebrities face. I look forward to another season, and hopefully many more.

MovieHoliks I just finished up the first season of this Netflix original a few weeks ago. This is one of those mock reality shows, with comedian Rob Schneider playing himself, trying to make things work in his current Hollywood career. If you recall a short-lived sitcom he starred in for CBS a few years ago, "Rob", it's sorta like that, only with the reality TV element thrown in. It has the young hot Mexican wife, only it doesn't have the fish-out-of-water Gringo element that show had..?? LOL Maybe they're saving that for season 2? Pretty amusing so far, especially his dopey assistant, and his stalker, who at one point makes a better assistant than his actual assistant does!

delorie-670-309939 Disclaimer I watched all 8 episodes, no spoilers. generic review, hopefully encouraging people to watch at least first 3 episodesNot sure I have liked Rob Schneider in any starring role since Hot Chick which I think is an under-rated gem still.Like many others I really liked Curb Your Enthusiasm, not all the episodes were great, but overall very good and unique. This is very similar but not nearly sharply written / improvised... but also has stand-up and it's a lot younger version of a Larry David character and a lot less whining/complaining and lunches. Also has the parenting and interracial marriage thing making it different.10 is definitely too generous, i just think its on to something and will get even better.
