Occupé ce soir

I have always been a Busy Phillips fan, even before she was insta-famous. This show was cringe worthy. That horrible dramatic song at the end? Who thought that was a good idea? The 3 awkward writers just sitting by the stage offering their input (which is mainly forced jokes with minimal audience laughter) - You can tell that each guest was extremely uncomfortable. I watched all four episodes because I wanted to give it a chance, but I suffered second hand embarrassment each episode. I love Busy and will continue to follow her and I think she's an amazing author... but this show is a huge MISS and I wouldn't be shocked if it didn't have a second season.

I was really rooting for this show. I like Busy, but it is not great. The jokes are cringe worthy, she just seems uncomfortable. I hope she finds a better project. This show is not for her.

So I put this initially at 1 and changed to 5. I think being her first show I didn't give it enough of a chance who wouldn't be terrified of their first show?! PUBLICLY! Way to go girl! Gets better each episode and least she keeps it cool, and relatable.

I love Busy Phillips, and wanted to like this show but I can't get into it yet. I feel a little bit uncomfortable because she seems uncomfortable and it rubs off on me. She is very funny in movies and sitcoms but talk show comedy is not for her. She looks at too many different cameras, and it gets confusing. I was rooting for a female-led talk show since this world is dominated by men (As sad as that is). Women can be funny, despite the sexism. But I think this will be her first and last season.

I like the natural Busy on Instagram, the Busy on the show seems uncomfortable and forced at times. However I have hope that the kinks will be worked out. The song at the end is like The Goodnight Show on Sprout. I wonder if she watched that with her kids? I love Busy and hope they truly give the show enough time to get in a comfortable flow.
