I laughed a few times so I can't say it completely blew but I still don't think it's going to last past this season. For a network that's playing an Emmy winning show that pretty much has the same premise they really should have tried harder to make the photocopy a bit better. The New Adventures of Old Christine does what Gary is trying so hard to achieve so much better. Let me tell you this, Jay Mohr is no Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Don't get me wrong, I find Jay to be funny but not that funny. I will however always have a soft spot in my heart for him based on the film Picture Perfect starring Jennifer Aniston. Always.
Getting back to the real reason we're here which is mainly me saying this show is just not up to par. If this came on in the mid season while other shows were in reruns I would watch it. Since we're at the beginning of the premiere's for the Fall season it's going to get lost in the shuffle of all the shows. I'd much rather be watching Pushing Daisies and Top Model. Hell, I think everyone would. Let me add a few positive notes though. Paula Marshall was good even though she was wasted here. She was good last season on Nip/Tuck and I even remember her in Cupid with Jeremy Piven. She needs a better agent. Let's work on that shall we? She could have Carla Gugino's career or at least something closer to it than she has now. I guess that's all of my positive notes on the show. I suppose I'll just end this by asking all of you to support Pushing Daisies. They're on at the same time only it's far superior. Please watch it, I'd like it to make it to a third season.
