Four Kings

The pilot episode was only mediocre, but I am not disappointed that I stuck it out. The writers are doing a pretty good job of developing the characters, and it's starting to pay off. The episode's following the pilot are pretty funny, and I expect it will keep getting better. Seth Green always plays his part well. The support cast is developing as well. In particular, Green's boss and the CEO have added a lot to the show. The writers have done a good job of weaving all the characters in with the two bosses. I would like to see the setting developed a little more. I know that sounds picky, but shows like Will and Grace, Friends, etc. are supported by their set. So far, the apartment hasn't really been developed all that well. It's still early, though. Keep an eye on this show. It has potential to be great.

Thursday on NBC used to be "Must See TV" Well......Will and Grace is OK, but the Two Queens followed by the Four Kings is just too much.It was so bad, I'm not sure where to begin knocking it, so I won't.My Name is Earl is the only Pearl in this NBC line-up. Sure hope they don't let this go. I've got to write ten lines about this show or this review won't get posted. Well the International Movie Data Base people make the rules. Frankly, I don't think you should be forced to read ten lines about a show that can be described in one word. "Bad" . I'm up to nine lines. One more line and maybe I can get this posted. Hope this helps your decision making.

I watched it for the first time tonight,it's not so bad.There was a really,really,funny scene about gay camp story with Seth Green.If it was only that funny all the way through it would rock.I'll have to keep watching to see if it goes anywhere. I think that it might not be strong enough to make it if it does not get better and polished up quickly it will probably get canceled. Sictoms are here today and gone tomorrow now a days. I honestly didn't even know it existed till tonight but, it caught my attention and I'm an avid channel surfer so it's got to be interesting to make me stop and watch. You got 5 seconds tops to grab my attention.Any how, I'd watch it again to see how it develops.I'm thinking it will get canceled before it really goes anywhere.

Sylvia says: I love Seth Green. His appearances on THat 70s' Show is always worth watching but last night, I felt the show needed to overhauled. Four single young guys inherit a New York City apartment that most of us would die for. The grandmother must have been an heiress to have such space in the first place. So I felt the need for realism should have been brought out. Anyway the plot about four best friends getting this apartment was not believable. I would have been thrilled if they had to move in with one of their parents which would have provided great humor and dysfunctional about the show's set up. There did not seem to be much humor in it. I am only watching it because it falls before My Name is Earl on a winning Thursday night. I think they should go back, scrap this series, and start over. We need more family involved series. How about Seth and his friends move in with his wacky parents in the suburbs after a fire burns their place down. THey could have Dabney Coleman play the father and Christine Estabrook, play the mother and dysfunctional siblings. The list of possibilities with somebody like Seth Green are endless and the network is blowing it.

I say...what?! The show is actually very adorable. 'Earl' is the show that needs to be removed from existence.

If you enjoy the comedy on Will & Grace, you will probably enjoy this show. I do. The comedy is of course a little more 'masculine', as the main characters are four twenty-something straight men. Seth Green is quite funny as Barry, the jerk of the four. Todd Grinell as Jason is just as, if not more, funny, and where on Earth has Shane McRae been hiding? Sure, Bobby's character isn't that hard to pull off, but at the time of this writing, we're only four episodes in, and I find myself fond of the character. Again, the comedy is similar to Will & Grace, and if you don't find that funny, there's only a slim chance you'll find this funny.
