Go Fish

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.

Ok... the T.V. show "Go Fish" rocks. And so does Kate Ellis "Jess Riley" I can't say anything else about the other people because I don't know them personally. I think all the actors and actress did a very good job on the show. I just want to know why the show still isn't on. Or if it is why in the heck doesn't my town have it on their cable system. I love that show and hope to see it on T.V some time soon.

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.

This is a great new show. I just saw the first 2 episodes and I think it is a great new idea. It is the kind of show that everybody can like at least some of. With a great look at high school life and the problems that one may or may not face. Still it is hilarious!

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.
