Nobodies

I am not sure how to describe this show. I saw the trailers for it and I thought it looked funny and interesting. Just watched the first few episodes and it really not funny at all. It is celebrities attempting to be humorous about other celebrities. I think they are trying way too hard to make it funny which well makes it not funny at all. I found myself not even wanting to watch the next episode. I don't know it looked promising but fell flat. I wanted to like it!

It was funnier when it was called Seinfeld. That being said, it's not bad. The situations are funny and not too over the top. Like I said above, it's Seinfeld lite. Rachel Ramras is Elaine. Hugh Davidson is Seinfeld. Larry Dorf is George. The main difference is that they all work together as comedy writers. Melissa Mcarthy plays an overarching loonier version of her self (think George Steinbrenner) that's pretty funny. It's all been seen before but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'd have continued to watch it if it stayed on the air but I wouldn't have saved the date like I did for Seinfeld.

I found this show to be very close to the real struggles that Comedians and actors face while trying to make it into the business. Of course a lot of it is a bit dramatized and made funnier for our entertainment. But I also saw some funny and awkward situations presented just like they would actually happen in real life. The three main characters wrong on you (yes, even Larry) and you end up ruining force them to make it big. I wish we would get more episodes/seasons of this funny and endearing show.

It makes me laugh, I care about the characters. It is insightful and relevant. I have read some reviews from critics that are less than kind, and I can not believe they have really viewed the show as opposed to reading a synopsis about it. There are relationship dynamics, surprises and I literally laugh out loud. Highly recommended over much of what is on TV.

Love the show, very witty and well written. It's a pleasure to watch a show that isn't formulaic with that obnoxious canned laughter.
