Hit the Road

Interesting that a network called The Audience Network would try to keep an audience with this.

In a true Coztanzaian effort by Jason Alexander this show executes very bad joke, innuendo and cliched comedic situation while shooting itself in the foot that it already stuck in its mouth.

Jason does little to shed the Constanza label in this, it is quite forgettable.

Wow. This thing is awful! Weak story line. Weak acting. Vulgarity just for the sake of vulgarity, an obvious sign the writers can't think of anything better to say.

The gags are dumb and way too predictable. Child actor delivers lines like you would expect them to be delivered in a high school play.

This was the first and last time I will watch this so-called show.

If you don't like cursing, vulgar humor and explicit themes, this show definitly is not for you. If you like characters that are neither good nor bad and always need to be evaluated by their actions like in shows as "Curb Your enthusiasm" or "Mom", then this could be something you might like. I always appreciate shows that don't use flat characters but rather play on the persons flaws and stengths.

The show is playing a lot on cursing and things like the fathers name being Ken Swallow but it has an interesting way of presenting rather untypical subjects like threesomes, making Nazi friends and the hypocrisies of the music business or drug addiction in a way that makes you think. So the humor is quite broad if you can go with the cursing. The basic plot about a family band moving in a band bus on the road to start a new life and career often looks a little bland but the characters make it work. You get a weird stoner son, the hot sister, a black adopted son with a strong Michael Jackson vibe, a little loudmouth sister and two parents constantly struggling with their relationship and flaws.

Some subjects are rather bold in their approach and often border on falling flat on their face... which they do sometimes. But if they work its fun and interesting. Jason Alexanders character is a total egotist, very much like his Seinfeld character and especially the dynamic with his wife is great. The threesome episode was awesome.

So don't be fooled by the 1star reviews... this show definitly has some flat jokes and plays on clichés but I think there is a lot of depth in it too.

If you like smart comedy you will like this. The subtle bits might get lost on many, and if you never watched the old 70's shows you will miss a lot. Each character is quite unique and I look forward to more adventures with the weird and dysfunctional family. I think many could throw this away quickly as it takes a few episodes to get where this is going. I'll keep watching.

Jason Alexander's Seinfeld money must be running out for him to take part in this horribly awful "sitcom". And I thought his old Dr. Pepper commercial from the '80's was cringe worthy. Hit the Road makes 2 Broke Girls look like Shakespeare and is about as clever as a bag of dirt. Who writes this garbage, and worse, who thinks it is worth producing and putting on TV?? Don't waste valuable seconds of your life on this crap.
