Datepalm Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm annoyed that I like this show. It's messing up my grand unified theory of American sitcom logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiddler Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I really enjoy this show. I love the dynamic between Sandberg and the Captain. Its well done and the captain is funny in a simple way. I feel all the characters have a nice chemistry and interact real well. I especially like terry Crewes. The episode when he was putting together the dollhouse was great.

Ouroboros Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Terry Crewes is one of the most underrated American comic actors. Dude has a natural flair for ridiculousness and slapstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Thursday Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This is the only new show I've ended up watching. I wasn't 100% sold after the first couple of episodes, but Episode 4 convinced me to put it on permanent rotation. The cast is a pretty good mix and they've been able to play off each other to good effect. The only weak link, in my opinion, is Chelsea Peretti's character. I feel like she doesn't mesh all that well with the rest of the cast and none of the plots involving her get me to laugh. Overall it feels like they've managed to find a sweet spot between the 'Office Comedy' model of The Office and Parks and Recreation and the police procedural. I think it's a good thing that a lot of the cases they're working on are throwaways/side plots rather than the main attraction, because that side of things has been done to death elsewhere.

delete this account pls Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I enjoy it, but it feels like it has more potential than has been delivered so far. I agree with ouroboros on Terry Crewes, he's easily the best part of the show so far. Dude is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Hilarious show with lots of potential to increase. Episode 4 was an instant classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No love for Gina? I think she's hilarious. On the subject of the cast, it's amazing how different they all are while maintaining such great chemistry. Stephanie Beatriz (Diaz) is a bigger badass than anyone on Shield could hope to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Arry Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Kind, sober and fully dressed. The sex tape. Is it Scully that just keeps playing with his foot?"The whole thing is a wart."Dude for the love of all I have just eaten. Please leave that thing alone.

Ouroboros Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I kept thinking the Captain was Bunny from the Wire. He isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 It actually beat New Girl in ratings this week, so I think it's safe. Which is good, because this is one of only two of the new network shows that I'm still watching. I really like how disparate the personalities are which should help keep things fresh (like the early season of The Office). I agree with Sir Thursday that Chelsea Peretti's character doesn't really fit, hopefully they either figure her out (and it seems like they're trying) or cut her completely.

DivisionByZero Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I kept thinking the Captain was Bunny from the Wire. He isn't. Heh. Me too. He was the captain on Last Resort, though. Someone in another thread, I think, made the comment that the the police department in this show is better than Miami Metro (from Dexter). I'm just imagining an episode where they introduce the department's creepy blood spatter analyst, then there's evidence of a serial killer on the loose, but they figure out that it's the blood guy and solve it within one 30-minute episode.

Reposado Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 What? No love for Gina? I think she's hilarious. .She can be really hit or miss for me. Sorta like Schmidt from new girl. Good moments but a lot of botches. To be expected from the biggest member of the cast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Kilmore Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The Captain (Andre Braugher) is from Homicide Life on the Street, he played Det. Frank Pembleton. David Simon, creator of the Wire, was a producer and writer for this show. It was also based upon a book he wrote. (So not that far from the Wire!)

Jace, Extat Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Drunk Jace here. WHATTUP!?! I think that from now on I'm gonna drink when I watch this show. Hilarious. Andy Samburg was improved this episode. I've felt since his days with SNL that's he's one of the funniest people on earth in small doses, and one of my favorite things about this show early was that they kept him in said 'small doses', but he was good this time around. But that could just be my floppiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Loving this show. Admittedly when I watch it I end up comparing to SHIELD and seeing how much better this show is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Funniest moment was Scully and Hitchcock high on cocaine in the 80's- and looking the exact same age they do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
