Go Fish

I saw "Go Fish" on my cable guide moments before its premiere. At first, I thought that it would be just another stupid summer show! But then I remembered last Summer's Survivor, so I figured that ALL summer premieres can't be all THAT bad! So I decided to watch the first two episodes, hoping to revive some of my classic feelings I had while watching episodes of "Saved by the Bell" for the first time..... and it was so much fun!

The main character is Andy Troutner (Kieran Culkin, Macauly's brother), nicknamed Fish. He has two friends nicknamed Krak and Hazard. The show brings you through their high school years!! Their adventures are full of love, hate, trouble, crushes, fights, weird situations, weird teachers, and much much more. It also shows Andy's older brother, Pete (Will Friedle, the older brother from Boy Meets World) and Pete's new adventures as a teacher at the same high school straight out of college. It doesn't hurt that there are many good-looking girls in this show (Kimberly Ellis and many more)! The show is good, not trash, and makes you laugh and feel for the characters who aren't exactly the most popular crayons in the box! It's funny and somewhat satrical of high school!

The show is one of my new favorite shows! It has great actors, plus great, hilarious performances by Andy Dick as the crazy Drama teacher! The show is funny, touching, and just all around great entertainment!!

this show is nbc's lowbrow attempt to hit the teen through 24 year old demographic. it exagerates the awkwardness of teen life to a point of utter embarrassment ( not just the characters, the audience too). however, i find myself drawn to it. i can relate with some of the issues and some it is actually funny. it shouldn't be funny, but it's kind of true, so it is did that make sense?). i'm going to keep watching this show. i'd be *very* surprised if it wormed it's way into the fall lineup,but not disappointed.

"go fish" is about high school freshman andy "fish" troutner, who is seriously jonesin' for a sophomore named jess. he has an elaborate plan to aquire her and popularity to be executed with the help of his 2 buds, "krak" and hazard.his older bro, pete, a former big man on campus, has come back to the school to become a teacher, expecting to be popular all over again.he learns the hard way about being a "cool" teacher. andy dick plays a way too flamboyant ( i don't mean gay, do i?) drama teacher. the parents are whacky, the female teacher is attractive; hijinks ensue.

it really depends on your tolerance of goofy-doofus jokes about homosexuality and adolescence if this is the show for you.

I admit, at first I had prejudice toward "Go Fish." I mean it stars Andy Dick and the older brother from "Boy Meets World" along with Macaulay Culkin's younger brother, so it can't be that good, right? Boy was I wrong. Judging solely from the pilot, this show has great potential and is one of the best of NBC's experiments I have seen, and definitely this years best. Andy Dick and Will Friedle both give very believable performances and Keiran Culkin does an outstanding job as your typical teen. Joe Flaherty (of SCTV) provides the comic relief along with Molly Cheek. I encourage watching this show and personally I will enjoy watching it develop.

The pilot episode for this new Summer half-hour sitcom was not bad. The show revolves around two brothers, one played by Kieran Culkin and his older brother played by Will Friedle. They are both starting their first semester at Senior High, Kieran being a student and Will being a teacher.

Both brothers try hard immensely to fit in. Kieran wants to win the affections of a fellow female student while Will seeks a love interest in a fellow teacher who teaches Shakespeare. As they both live in the same house, their parents portray two 'nutty' characters much like the parents in "Malcolm In The Middle". While this show provides no laugh track, it attempts to conquer the all-too-familiar 'coming of age' aspect of adolescence by using comedy and slapstick humor as a backdrop. Throw in Andy Dick as a whacko drama teacher and you'll see my point.

Whether this show will last all of Summer remains to be seen. It could have been more original had it come out before "The Wonder Years". Otherwise, it's probably one of the better shows to hit the Summer TV schedule.

6/10

First and foremost, I just wanted to say that this show was (and still is) underrated and underappreciated.

This show is like the indie version of 'Boy Meets World (which is fitting considering Will Fridle is in this show too) Or '5th Rock From The Sun', and those types of Tv Shows were the best!

Now, is it perfect? Definitely not. Were there some outdated ideologies and uninteresting subplots? Absolutely. But it was still a fun and cute show, nonetheless.

And as (basically) Kieran Culkin's debut into the acting scene, he did a pretty great job!

So, if you're looking for some lighthearted and fun content to watch, you should definitely check it out and give it a shot.
