Nobodies

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.

I have only seen the two episodes broadcast so far, and each of them have been really good. The desperation of three television writers to get a show produced hinges on their loose affiliation with Melissa McCarthy, whose name they drop during meetings with TV executives. At present, they are writing for an animated kids show called "The Fartlemans." (I think that is the name; it's something with "fart" in it) Their attempt to move past that particular writing credit and launch a new show has them doing some fast-talking to Hollywood big shots. This is such a good parody of that entire industry. If you like Melissa McCarthy-type humor, you will love this. Though MM's husband, Ben Falcone, has appeared in several episodes, MM has not as yet appeared, but I'm sure she will and am looking forward to that, whenever it happens. Falcone and McCarthy are producing this show. In the meantime, Nobodies is a riot, and I hope others will tune in for it.

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!

I was not sure at first that this show would be funny when I watched the first couple episodes of Nobodies, but now after watching the rest, I actually love it and cannot wait for this show to come on again in 2018. It is so hilarious, even though I wish the main characters could catch a break but I guess that's the point. It has such a great main trio and great guest actors. The summary/description of the show on IMDb does not do it justice. I probably would not even have watched it if I did not know TVLand is coming out with new shows instead of just reruns of old shows. GIVE IT A WATCH! You got to get past the first few episodes, if you are iffy on it like I was in the beginning, and then you'll see what I mean. Love it! Oh and a twisted ending...it does not end up how you would think. Best new show on TVLand. (Teachers was going great until the 2nd season. ..wtf was that? Same with Jim Gaffigan's 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.
