How We Roll

Pilot episodes only go so far in telling how good a series will be. Not a whole lot to offer so far, not a lot of laughs. Typical sitcom semi-yucks with a little "serious" story thrown in and a not too intrusive laugh track. But hey, it's about bowling (sort of, Holmes isn't the most convicing potential pro bowler), but it's different. Fingers crossed it gets funnier.

Really bad acting. The concept is different which is unusual nowadays, but it's just painful to watch. The acting is forced and fake. Timing is off. No chemistry.

Get rid of the laugh track. We are not stupid. I would give it 2 more stars if not for that. The characters are good. The stories are funny. Again get of the stupid laugh track.

Good cast; simple writing. This is the kind of show Sherwood Schwartz would have made 40-50 years ago. It's very milk-toast dialogue with bland punch lines you can see coming a mile away. The talent deserves better and sadly I think this show is doomed.

He's probably my favorite comedian. From his stand up to the short lived Pete Holmes Show to the WAYYYY short lived Crashing (if you haven't seen that show please watch it) but this was almost unwatchable. Not because of him either. Multi camera sitcoms with the "audience" haven't been good for years. I wish they set this up as a single camera show, no audience/no laugh track. Better editing, timing, deliveries. All that which makes single camera shows better. Shows like Community, Superstore, etc would NEVER have made it as a multi camera show.

I'm still going to watch it because of him, and even Chi McBride I'm a big fan of, but I hope it gets better from here.
