Disjointed

I attended live recordings of the last two shows (#19/#20) of this series in June (2017) at Warner Studios, Burbank. I can assure you that the laughter you hear is from a live audience. The expense to produce a multi-camera sitcom in front of a live audience is not insignificant. I don't understand how reviewers can be so confident that the laughter is canned.

Watching it on TV is even funnier because I can pause it and give myself time to complete my laugh before moving on. And I can replay it as well.

The show is funny and goofy yet it has a heart and soul too. If you stick with it for a few shows, it will definitely grow on you. It takes some time to understand the individual characters and their relationships. The last taping we saw, which was the 20th and last show of this series, contained some very heart rending moments with beautiful resolutions.

This last recording was also few days from Kathy Bates' birthday. The staff brought out a cake and we all sang happy birthday to her. It was a very nice vibe.

My big question is how does Betsy Sodaro (Dabby) create those crazy expressions? Does she practice in front of a mirror or do they just come naturally? She is sooooo funny.

Carter, Pete / Dank and Dabby! !! Oh my! I will watch everything they are in. There's so much going on there. The weed is just a background.

I don't watch a lot of TV, and I certainly don't watch sitcoms. But, this is a fun, stupid, and hilarious show. It aims to be exactly that, and achieves it. It's not going to make you think much, and it's not going to be transcending sitcom boundaries.

The cast is subtle at times and outrageous at other times; a good ensemble here. People whining about Kathy Bates' elderly hippie schtick clearly don't get out much, because she's great here. And people whining about the laugh track? Jeez, I didn't even notice it because I was busy laughing.

Lighten up/light up and enjoy. We don't see "traditional" sitcoms like this anymore without the usual "ironic upgrades" or pretentious attempts to "break boundaries". It's not a ten, but I don't think it's aiming for that; it's exactly what it is, so enjoy it for that.

Disjointed finds its voice from episode 6 on.

Was really funny but smartly serious at times.

I hope the producer's trash the laugh track in 2018 as it's an annoying distraction and detracts from the show. Looking forward to the next 10 episodes.

PS - Those that work in dispensaries are generally not stoned all the time nor smoking on the premises. But hey, it's TV.

I love this show and Netflix goes and cancels it! WTF Netflix??
