Mr. Sunshine is a show I expect to like due to the cast being comprised of people I love but that pilot was dreadful. -- nm

Could I *be* any more damaged in this? -- nm - Matthew Perry Feb 10, 09:01 3
- Dammit, I wish he would get a good show. He was my runaway favorite from Friends. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:02 2
  - If you take the quality parts of Studio 60, he was halfway there. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 09:06 1
    - I loved him in that ... it was the rest of the show I couldn't get into. Your IM exactly. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:07
I didn't think it was terrible. Not great, but not bad. It's got potential to be better. - musubi Feb 10, 08:59 6
- Andrea Anders didn't seem to know what she was doing. - David Feb 10, 09:01 5
  - They're not actually best friends. - musubi Feb 10, 09:04 4
    - It's still icky. -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:06 3
      - Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they knocked it out of the park, by any means. I just see potential to be a lot better in the near future. - musubi Feb 10, 09:07 2
        
        I do kinda agree with Andrea Anders though, she was not as spot on as she was in Better Off Ted. - musubi Feb 10, 09:09 1
        
        That may be my problem. Better Off Ted and Studio 60 are two of my top 10 shows of the 2000s. I may be expecting too much. -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:11
i recorded it but havent watched it yet. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 10, 08:58
I could not watch the whole pilot. It felt like forced jokes that were not that good. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 08:57
can you elaborate? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:57 13
- It was a bad combination of forced zany behavior from oddball characters and the wrong type of cynicism. - David Feb 10, 09:00 10
  - I get what you're saying about Janney's character, but I still liked her performance. - musubi Feb 10, 09:02 6
    - The cast is Better Off Ted + Studio 60 with Hurley thrown in. I have to like that, right? -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:03 5
      - this just reminded me of Janney's horrid guest appearance on Lost. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:04
      - Wasn't Hurkey just a guest? - Spawn Feb 10, 09:04 3
        
        He was brought on as an emergency hire and is presumed to go to full time if the show gets more episodes. -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:05 2
        
        I quite liked his scenes. "Your name is Bob Bobbinson Bobbert?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 09:09 1
        
        Yup, Hurley was one of the stronger points I think can be emphasized in the future. - musubi Feb 10, 09:12
  - I figured they would drive home the fact that she is *not* CJ. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:02
  - ugh. I hate the first thing. I'll give it a try (didnt' know it was on last night) because I love the cast. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:01
  - Ah, they kept the writer from Away We Go. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 09:01
- He likes the cast but it was awful. How much more do you need? -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:59 1
  - Bad writing ... stupid plotting ..... dull as painting drying etc etc -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 09:00
