Joel McHale is going to be on a crappy CBS sitcom

[A Casual Fitz]

WTF? I don't blame him for taking the money, but it looks awful and laugh tracks are deplorable.

"The Great Indoors"

"Crappy" is redundant in the thread title.

Folks around here are all goo-goo over this show since McHale is a Seattle native...IMO, he's OK, but just OK.

I'll give the show a go, but with great skepticism. (if only because the trailers make fun of the youngsters in a way that an old fart like me can relate to...

Community was excellent and he was cast well, but that is SUCH a stinker of a premise.

Try a couple more. It really picks up.

Saw the commercial for this the other night and shook my head. So horrible. You know he feels dirty doing it.
Bring back The Soup!

Didnt know who he was. Had to look him up. Apparently he was in a horror film with Olivia Munn.

Its on CBS though so it will be a hit. CBS is watched by old people and this show seems to be making fun of young people so the old people with love it....

You know they know it's shit when they disable comments and up/down votes on youtube.

 

[cbrunny]

I watched most of the first season of Community and still didn't know the guy's name.

"Kids These Days" the TV show.

Looks a little too mean-spirited to be workable. I did like The Intern, though.

Doubtless people on ATOT will think it sucks, but good for him. Actors, comedians, etc like making money.

Another example is Chris Hardwick and his Comcast commercials. They made my respect for him go down just a tad, but I'm sure he's raking in piles of cash from him, so whatever. I'd probably compromise my principles for even less.

OK, watched the pilot tonight. Pretty much what I expected. Mostly based around fairly lame jokes about the millennials. Sure, they were fairly accurate...in an overly stereotypical sort of way...but badly overdone.
"WAIT ! I got passed over for a promotion? I've been here for eight weeks!"

I saw the pilot and it wasn't as bad as the premise sounds. I just thought it wasn't mean-spirited enough. If it had more of a "The League" or "It's Always Sunny..." vibe towards handling personal conflicts it would be better,

CBS shows are all for old people, so what do you expect?
