Unhitched

What is it about the Farrelly brothers that people enjoy? No matter what they make, I just can't find any decent entertainment out of it. The jokes suck, the humor is almost non-existent, and the whole experience is tedious and painful.

And, that about sums up Fox's latest supposed sitcom.

What equates to an unfunny "Seinfeld" knock-off, this show tries to be edgy and funny and fails on both counts about 98% of the time. When you don't even find yourself smiling (much less laughing) at a sitcom, then something is wrong with the show.

To quickly sum up this mess, four single friends (on of them recently divorced) jump back into the dating circuit, with supposed hilarity ensuing. But, if things like worn out sex jokes and "kid in the helmet" jokes are the best these writers can do, then this show is in desperate need of help.

Honestly, there are much better things you can do with your Sunday night. Slamming your head against a brick wall comes to mind.

In closing, this show just sucks. There is no other way to really say it.

Unhitched is one of the worst new shows I've seen in a long time. It is less funny than staring at your TV for half an hour when it is turned off. All of the jokes are groan-inducing they are so bad and none of the characters are funny or likable or interesting in any way whatsoever. The writing is so bad it passes through the realm of "so bad it's funny" to become one of the few shows that can be classified as "so completely awful it's not even funny to laugh at".

I can't think of a single reason why a show this completely awful in every possible respect could make it to broadcast. I am used to seeing a lot of garbage on TV but when something like this comes on my TV, that is so pathetically awful it's just begging to be canceled and put out of its misery, I just shake my head and say "why?" and wonder who it is that's going to inevitably be fired for this obvious mistake.

Cancel the show, burn the tapes, and let's all never speak of it again.

I thought it was great! it is awesome. Rasia Jones plays exactly like Elaine. even though nothing could beat Seinfeld. it was close. there was a small nerdy guy - George and 2 taller overconfident guys - jerry and Kramer.

I thought that it was not disappointing at all! how dare you say that!

Thought it was excellent

definitely recommend it! Watch it Sunday nights! Definitely watch it. i may have a different opinion than other people. but i have watched many shows. and i think it is great. Unhitched is a good way to get a laugh!!!!!!!!!!

Q: What do you get when you get a collection of reasonably talented individuals, a reasonably good premise and a bloody awful script...

A: Garbage... complete trash.

This isn't the fault of the actors all of whom have been good in other things...

No the blame for this atrocity falls squarely on the shoulders of the writers. Crude jokes, unimaginative characters, and absolutely no sense of what is actually funny vs. what is just stupid.

I feel most sorry for Shaun Majumdar (a fellow Canadian) who was saddled needlessly with an Indian accent and cast as the token stereotype.

The good news is that even Fox won't air this trash for long... if it weren't for the writers strike I doubt it would have ever seen the light of day.

I felt compelled to make this posting after reading a couple pretty visceral postings which seemed inexplicably hateful about this rather light and funny show. Lighten up, geez! It's a brand new 30-minute sitcom on Fox that follows a cartoon! Go watch some tired old Seinfeld reruns and give the rest of us a break.

Part of why I like the show so far is that it doesn't take itself seriously, it feels playful and not so staged or forced. These people look and sound like they're having fun, and so the funny lines flow and don't feel so much like punchlines. The writing isn't afraid to go after the less-tame quirks that come with bad dates and I'm-conspicuously-over-30-and uncomfortably-single insecurity. The characters aren't as hopelessly selfish and dysfunctional as the Seinfeld quartet, and (gratefuly) they're not running around with quizzical "I'm perfect and surrounded by morons" expressions like the cast of Friends' characters always were, which frankly annoyed the hell out of me after awhile. (I still shake my head in amazement that Jennifer Anniston has since been able to redeem herself to me as a fine actor...unlike the rest of them.)

So give this kid some air, will-ya? At least the show truly comes from Boston - the writer/creators AND those famous directors are all from New England - and uptight Boston should be ready for something more contemporary than "Cheers" to see its untidy reflection in.
