[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Who's in? Season 1 marathon starts at 9 Eastern.

It has a lot of people I like in it or associated with it, but commercials make it seem like it might be a little silly. Going to give it a try anyway.

 

[cockroach]

I'm in.

Love Rashida Jones and the commercials look pretty funny. But mostly I just love Rashida Jones.

 

[belljr]

Watch the first 3 earlier today. It's ok

 

[JoeSteeler]

Have the DVR set

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Unapologetically broad and silly, kinda like if ZAZ went after the CSI/L&O ilk of police procedurals. I dug it, but it's not for the cynical. I don't expect this board to like it much.

 

[(HULK)]

Brooklyn 99 is better IMO

 

[(HULK)]

Reminded me of The Naked Gun style of humor, but with a lower batting average. A few jokes connected pretty strongly, but most were misses.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

I love nakedcgun n airplane. This wasnt that funny though

 

[shadyridr]

Yeah this is like naked gun

 

[shadyridr]

Lots of running gags like the guy throwing up and the guy screaming in the opening credits

 

[(HULK)]

I get the feeling that Steve was talked into this by Mrs. Carrell

I get the feeling that Steve was talked into this by Mrs. Carrell

Disagree. Steve Carell has primarily been a broad, silly performer influenced by broad, silly performers. Early 90s Second City people like Carell grew up watching Mel Brooks, Carol Burnett, SNL, SCTV, and ZAZ. Carell's Daily Show persona wasn't the attacker, but the buffoon. Carell went out of his way to be in the movie version of Get Smart. This is right in his wheelhouse.

I know everyone keeps saying Naked Gun, but it's actually more like Police Squad. I know that's splitting hairs, but PS was the TV show. It had similar running gags and odd humor. And some was swing and miss, but a lot were home runs. I like this show a lot. Yeah, some jokes fall flat, but there are a bunch that I find myself belly laughing at. I don't think they're going for an Emmy win with this show. I think they know their target and they're hitting it just fine. I'm a fan.

I watched a handful. I appreciate the effort, but I felt like the there were too many swings and misses // not enough hits. I really did appreciate the suspicious mole bit though, that one got me.

I just don't think a show nailing one out of every six or seven gags is good enough.

I'm not sure I'd put it at that average of 1 out of 6. But I see your point. I do think that the fact it's on TBS and not NBC will be the thing that keeps it around though. And like I said, I enjoy it enough to keep watching. But it could very well go the same route of Police Squad. I believe that only lasted like 6 episodes before it was canned.

Pretty sure they're already working on season 2. But the commericial free marathon of season 1 makes me think TBS doesn't have a lot behind it (didn't even try and sell many ads for it).

The ads are pretty much in the shows though, right? I've only watched the first 3 but it was like Ford, Snickers and something else. It was like a joke/ad.

Season 2 premieres Monday. Ten-week run. Different episodes than the ones from the marathon.

Yeah, they did a lot of product placement. The Ford gag from the pilot - Angie and Geils were driving a different Ford in every cut, a deliberate continuity nightmare - was IMO really well done.TBS picked up 10 more episodes before airing the the first 10. The marathon drew a lot of attention to the series, and TBS ran a ton of cross-promotion during it. They value this property highly.

 

[belljr]

4 epsidoes in. I enjoy it for what it is. I like the police squad / naked gun humor

Yeah, I didn't mean it would last as long as PS in the sense of number of episodes. As far as basic cable comedy shows go, I think this one will do just fine. That's just my opinion, though.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Unapologetically broad and silly, kinda like if ZAZ went after the CSI/L&O ilk of police procedurals. I dug it, but it's not for the cynical. I don't expect this board to like it much.

That's BTO. They were Canada's answer to ELP. Their biggest hit was TCB. That was how we talked in the 70s. We didn't have a moment to spare.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

One cable comedy that had a different style but was also 10 eps was Another Period. I only mention that because the kinky police chief is the same actor that played the kinky patriarch in that show.

The part IMO you have nailed is a show like this needs to be on cable (or a streaming service) to have a long run. Put it on FOX or NBC in prime time and it lasts maybe 6-10 weeks. But put it on a channel that can nurture a smaller but passionate audience and it could have a long run.

Don't call me Shirley

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Sledge Hammer!

Definitely in the DNA. Fans of Angie Tribeca should track down Sledge episodes.

 

[Buckna]

I LOL every time they run a gag with the police dog.

 

[cockroach]

It's cornier then my turds morning after the sweet corn festival, but I like it. The guy yelling in the theme gets me every time (so far).

I agree they bat like 1/5 or 6 on the jokes, but they come at such a high rate the LOLs/min are pretty good.

Pretty sure I could hate the humor though and still enjoy the show for Rashida. I just love everything about her for some reason. I'm thinking about asking my GF to cut her bangs like hers.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

My favorite so far is ep7, featuring Bill Murray as someone she runs into on her mandated day off.

Love how it is very similar to Police Squad!

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Still no new eps.

 

[Northern Voice]

Blackdot because we're just getting season 1 now in Canada (and it's not being marathoned), so I've only seen the first two.

Wish I could find a youtube video of just Officer Hoffman clips, but this will have to do: Hoffman Teaser

About time.

Atkins: We got a killing spree on our hands.
Geils: The word 'spree' makes it sound fun, but it isn't.

Season 3 starts tonight.

Why am I so attracted to this woman? Is it the bangs? Someone answer me!

 

[trogg78]

Just started watching season 1 on Hulu based on this thread.  This is good comedy.  I'm a little surprised I hadn't heard of it before all the promos for the new season.

Because she's pretty

She did do a great fake date voice when talking to the animal rights killer.
