This episode is on hulu to watch before the actual
premiere, so we went ahead and gave it a try. This pilot has the most buzz for
a comedy this year, and now we know why. First of all, James Van Der Beek plays
himself in it and that is a magnificent thing. Second, Krysten Ritter is funny,
unique looking, and has deserved a main role for a while now. She always plays
the friend…or the druggy girlfriend. Thanks for giving Krysten something to do,
Breaking Bad! Krysten’s Chloe is incredible. She’s the super bitch of our
dreams, and her character is what’s going to keep people coming back.
In Apartment 23, an innocent business school grad,
June, moves to New York City for her dream job. The day June walks into her new
workplace, she finds that the company has gone under. Not only will June have
no job, she will have no company-provided apartment. June gets a job at a
coffee shop and meets super bitch Chloe. Chloe has “the morals of a pirate” and
offers June a place to live…with her. Then Chloe starts acting out in order to
get June to move out. Chloe would get to keep the rent.. But June has more pluck
than Chloe imagined and starts fighting back.
We are eager to see more from this comedy, since the
pilot was decent and weird. It wasn’t laugh-out-loud funny and it showed us too
many jokes in the preview, which we saw last fall. But we really think
subsequent episodes are going to rock. We are going to tune in when the second
episode airs so we can see if this show improves and figures out how to avoid
being a rehash of Two Broke Girls. The downside of having this new sitcom is
that we will lose Happy Endings for a while, and we already know Happy Endings
is funny. Bottom line: We’re not hooked yet, but we are interested. Leeard will give this show an A for all time, since they used a Childish Gambino song in the first scene of the series. Awesome. Ern will give it a B+ (and all subsequent grades, since Leeard really will love this show forever, no matter what, because of that song).
I like that you guys are back to making more posts again. I almost forgot it was only weeks ago that you guys decided to do a post only every Monday. I think you guys should make a blog post everyday of what shows you'll be watching..maybe add why your excited, maybe give a rating out of 10 of how much you are excited to see the episode based on the previous episode(s), why people should watch the show, etc.
ReplyDeleteAlso, add top shows of each day of the week making a total of top 6 shows of the week. For ex; Sunday's shows: Shameless, Mad Men, House of Lies, etc. Winner: Shameless. Monday: Being Human, Smash Winner: Being Human. Then you decide which shows were the top 6 out of all the winners. (7, if you watch shows on Saturdays.)
DeleteIt would look something like this
1. Shameless
2. Being Human
3. Community
4. Fringe
5. Cougar Town
6. Happy Endings
I don't know if this sounds confusing or like a bad idea. haha I just like more posts. :P
Yeah...we'll try to keep posting at least every other day, but that might take up too much time.
DeleteOnce Upon a Time, I visited Cougar Town where I saw Charlie's Angeles in The Middle of The River of the Castle whose Good Christian Bitches were Missing. Some Desperate Housewives found out the bitches were kidnapped and got together to get Revenge. They had to Man Up and Work It together. They traveled through Pan Am to get some Private Practice before doing anything. They found the kidnappers and fought. The Last Man Standing got shot in the chest 4 times and didn't get to live a Happy Ending. Those housewives really had some Body of Proof. They went home and one of the ladies said next time "Don't trust the Bitch in Apt.23" Then they sat down like a typical Modern Family and watched some "Grey's Anatomy."
ReplyDeleteI tried to make a post including all of ABC's shows. I think I only missed Suburgatory :(
Dude, that was awesome.
