What Just Happened??!

It is a mockumentary for after shows. Take it as that and you will enjoy. I love it because it's different. Fred Savage being the host makes it great if you grew up watching him you understand. For younger viewers they might not appreciate it as much. There needs to be more shows like this that flip the script and have an original idea. I think most of the public just wants another new hit show spewing out the same ideas with different people. Great idea and execution for a show!!!

I grew up watching "Wonder Years", and like when Fred would make a cameo/get work whenever he did (even in "Rules of Attraction", which really showed his potential range). But much like the last horrible short-lived game-show where Ricky Gervaise had to hideously contort his face into something that resembled tolerance for being around children, Fred's presence is made painfully boring due to a lack of good writing and a poor concept overall. Much like Brian Cranston, when Fred has good writers, he's actually quite good on camera. But that's the key...since on his own, he neither has the charisma, humor or experience to carry a show on his own personality or "wit". There really is very little positive to say about this show, since the concept is weird, the editing is horrendous (the lulls and spaces between "jokes" and audience reactions adds up to one big face-palm) and the writing is just plain awful. Fred really looks like he's trying to over-act to get SOME sort of laughs from the audience, but it doesn't come off as anything other than trying too hard. I know this all might sound harsh, but give the guy a good show and format...he'll be worth the investment.

I think it's time to make The Flare an actually tv show. The clips at the beginning of each episode are great. I feel The Flare is a mix of The Walking Dead and Lost. Would love to see where it goes. As for the talk show portion goes. I felt it got better as the season progress.

This show is not a fantastic show. It's stupid, it's silly. It's nonsensical. But that's what I enjoy about it. It makes fun of itself. It makes fun of the after shows like talking dead. If the show gets cancelled I'm not going to lose any sleep but it's just a fun show. If you take it for that you'll enjoy it.

I adore Fred Savage and always will, but why is this a show??? I gave it 5 purely because of my love for Fred Savage, but this show doesn't make sense. Why not just make it a talk show?
