Carpoolers

I watched the sub-par pilot of Cavemen and was pretty disappointed with the show when I saw my first ad for Carpoolers. I decided to give the show a chance and I found it very funny.

I have seen two episodes(first two aired) so far and I can easily see this show as being my next "Friends", which is my favorite sitcom to date. The show has four primarily main characters: Aubrey who has several kids (more than 5) and an unseen wife, Laird who just got divorced and lost everything to his wife, Dougie who is the new guy who so far seems to get hit by a lot of cars, and Gracen, a psychiatrist who has a wife and a son who has yet to move out on his own.

I strongly encourage people to give this show a chance, and i personally hope this show has a long lifespan.

If you are a fan of Arrested Development and The Office, then you will most likely love this show.

This show was a pleasant surprise. ABC doing a 1/2 hour sitcom. Wow. I didn't think ABC knew how to do that anymore, but this show is fresh, funny, creative, unique and entertaining. It's about these four men that carpool to the same office park together. I don't think they work in the same office, though, from what I could gather from the Pilot. It also shows tidbits of their home life to explain why they are the way they are in the car.

This is not your typical "sitcom", and there is no studio audience. The writing of this show is very fresh, unique and creative and it's not a bunch of shtick that you see on most sitcoms. It's truly realistic, awkward and interesting. Each character is a unique stereotype that you can relate to, and their facial expressions and reactions to events are spot on terrific.

I like the direction ABC is going this season, and I look forward to watching more episodes of "Carpoolers" to see how the character's lives develop from what they've set up so far in the Pilot.

I rate this show an 8 out of 10.

This show is definitely a "keeper". It's not quite at the level of "...Earl" or Seinfeld but it can surely hold it's own. It's been a while since I've seen a show where the second episode was 100 times funnier that the first. And to be on ABC? Looks like they're stepping up their game over at the American Broadcast Company. I think Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley were the last great ABC comedies. So far, Aubrey and Marmaduke are the best characters. This show, as well as Cavemen and Pushing Daisies, have earned the coveted TiVo Season Pass. I don't want to miss an episode. Marmaduke? Who would name their kid after a big, goofy, comics strip dog? Hilarious!

Carpoolers is by far the best new show of the season. I find the cast to be very witty, fresh & funny. The show is well written without all of the same old story lines you see over & over again. I highly recommend this show to anyone. My husband & I have 2 kids so we don't watch a lot of television. This is one show that we make time for each week. It is a great comedy that you can watch even with kids in the room. All of the actors are very funny while making you feel like they are real people. They could be YOUR neighbors. After watching all the new show season premiers I can say this one is without a doubt the best one out there.

This is like a Leslie Nielsen inspired comedy in that so much is happening in the background and the actors are so unaware of their actions that it is nonstop funny. I laughed so hard throughout the show and this upset me a little in knowing that I missed jokes that came immediately after.

Along the lines of a "40 Year Old Virgin" or "Something About Mary". All I can say is try to TIVO it so you can go back and forth and catch everything because it moves quite briskly through the dialogue. The best thing about this show is that none of the actors are really known so it will certainly be a fresh approach to comedy.

This is certainly not for everybody, but for those that can appreciate offbeat humor at a quick pace, this is your show!
