Detroiters

Detroiters is a show that is willing to be absolutely ridiculous while still telling a story that takes place in the real world. The show is shot on location in Detroit and the guest stars are usually people from detroit. That's the best part of the show, detroit itself is a character in the show, one that the two stars make fun of in a loving way. Detroit is as essential to Detroiters as New York is to When Harry Met Sally. The adds made in the show are based on the adds the two stars of the show watched growing up in detroit. In real life Tim is married and Sam is single. In real life both of the lead actors are best friends. This show is wonderfully original and surprisingly autobiographical, there's nothing else like it. If you are ready to watch a show that is orriginal, funny, and heartwarming, watch detroiters.

I LOVE this show. The writing is extremely clever and funny. The relationship between the two lead guys is truly believable. I've worked at a small ad agency, and they get much of the feel of doing local work, although the work seems to be remeniscent I'd what an agency would do in the 80s rather than today. Still, the writing and characters are incredible, and the story arcs that bring clients and others across episodes in hilarious ways shows the level of thought the writers are putting in. It's a great half hour to let loose and enjoy.

Lifelong best friends Sam Duvet (Sam Richardson) and Tim Cramblin (Tim Robinson) are trying to make their way in the world of local advertising in Detroit. Tim is married to Sam's sister Chrissy. Tim's father was a local advertising legend but those glory days are in the past. Their employees include elderly long-time secretary Sheila Portnadi, film school grad Lea, and Tommy Pencils.

This is fun stupidity. There is a real sense of friendship and a sense of a place. They may not be big names or leading men but their relationship really grows on me. They seem like great guys to go with to a Piston game. There is also the place. For the last few years, Detroit has been sold as a ghost town and urban blight. This version of Detroit is so much more appealing like a small town USA. The city couldn't be more charming and the guys would be good drinking buddies.

This show is hysterical.

Two failing Detroit ad-men try to sustain their fathers' ad company, with hilarious results. Sam Richardson is great. I'm broken-hearted that they only made 2 seasons. I've watched and re-watched it many times.

Its a great show. Its mindless and really funny, just like a comedy should be. I even got the kids singing some jingles from the show. "Devaraux" lol, this was my favorite ad they did.

its not a show where you have to watch from the beginning of the season, each episode seems to have its own story. its worth dvr'ing.

Its not racist, like some are saying. Its just funny.
