Nobodies

I have only seen the two episodes broadcast so far, and each of them have been really good. The desperation of three television writers to get a show produced hinges on their loose affiliation with Melissa McCarthy, whose name they drop during meetings with TV executives. At present, they are writing for an animated kids show called "The Fartlemans." (I think that is the name; it's something with "fart" in it) Their attempt to move past that particular writing credit and launch a new show has them doing some fast-talking to Hollywood big shots. This is such a good parody of that entire industry. If you like Melissa McCarthy-type humor, you will love this. Though MM's husband, Ben Falcone, has appeared in several episodes, MM has not as yet appeared, but I'm sure she will and am looking forward to that, whenever it happens. Falcone and McCarthy are producing this show. In the meantime, Nobodies is a riot, and I hope others will tune in for it.

I am not sure how to describe this show. I saw the trailers for it and I thought it looked funny and interesting. Just watched the first few episodes and it really not funny at all. It is celebrities attempting to be humorous about other celebrities. I think they are trying way too hard to make it funny which well makes it not funny at all. I found myself not even wanting to watch the next episode. I don't know it looked promising but fell flat. I wanted to like it!

Love the show, very witty and well written. It's a pleasure to watch a show that isn't formulaic with that obnoxious canned laughter.

I found this show to be very close to the real struggles that Comedians and actors face while trying to make it into the business. Of course a lot of it is a bit dramatized and made funnier for our entertainment. But I also saw some funny and awkward situations presented just like they would actually happen in real life. The three main characters wrong on you (yes, even Larry) and you end up ruining force them to make it big. I wish we would get more episodes/seasons of this funny and endearing show.

It was funnier when it was called Seinfeld. That being said, it's not bad. The situations are funny and not too over the top. Like I said above, it's Seinfeld lite. Rachel Ramras is Elaine. Hugh Davidson is Seinfeld. Larry Dorf is George. The main difference is that they all work together as comedy writers. Melissa Mcarthy plays an overarching loonier version of her self (think George Steinbrenner) that's pretty funny. It's all been seen before but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'd have continued to watch it if it stayed on the air but I wouldn't have saved the date like I did for Seinfeld.
