Crashing

What was once a modestly entertaining show for two seasons, has become that and more in its third season.

Watching comics fail (in this quasi-reality tv format) goes back at least as far as Gary Shandling Show, so I suppose it's a bit refreshing to watch things turn around and go Pete's way for a change.

(All that, plus Madeline Wise is a treat to watch!)

I love this show so far- i think it helps that i've listened to pete's podcast for a long time, so it feels more like watching a friend's new show. but nevertheless, i laughed out loud multiple times and felt genuinely warm-hearted afterward. Artie lang is a great actor and nice gruff touch to the show.

Strangely enough, I think I only laughed out loud once or twice throughout the entire series.

But man, I was hooked!

It must have been the innocence of Pete's character. He isn't exactly Forrest Gump, but his inexperience and constantly being out of his league made everything feel new and exciting, and it really pulled me into the story.

Through all the ups and the downs, I never really knew if he was gonna win or be defeated.

The dialog and acting were all so natural and candid, I always felt like I was really there.

Plus, the nice, short episodes made this one easy show for me to consume.

Very good show, but it is a slow burn. A little bit of a grower, actually, but half-way through episode two it starts to come together. I like how, situationally, things move on. There are recurring themes and people, but it is very natural.

It's great, actually. Check it out.

So I watched this because I love Artie from Howard, and I didn't know anything else about the cast. For me I had to watch a few episodes then it all gelled-like any other sitcom. However, unlike other sitcoms it's not, laugh joke laugh talk a little laugh joke laugh joke. No lsugh track and no obvious playing for the laugh like an act. It's like spying on real life of comedians and all the convoluted situations that arise. It grew on me and I would have binged the whole thing if I didn't have to walk the dog.
