Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life

Despite all the negativity. It is, and thats what it wants to be, a fun watch. I really don't know what people expect from a sitcom, but it appears to be too much. Not that the show cant fulfill any of these expectations. Guys, it is a sitcom and it has done its job pretty well within the first two episodes. And what job could that be? Entertain me. And it did well...lets hope they get the chance to show some more, i would really looking forward to more episodes. And again to all the people who voted less than six, get a brain and further more don't ruin such a promising new show right from the beginning with your unqualified and unfair reviews...

Based on the previews, I thought this was a scripted version of Jack Ass. A couple months later, I noticed it on Hulu, and decided to give it a look. Color me surprised. Not only is it not in the least like Jack Ass, it's a pretty well written comedy that, while not really breaking new ground, does a very good job of repackaging elements in an entertaining way that feels fresh. The first, and so far, only, episodes have been a nice treat after a long day.

Wow. Apparently, my review isn't long enough, so I'll risk blocking by trying to expand it, without adding anything more. Why? Because I think I pretty much summed it up. Surprisingly good show.

Cooper Barrett (Jack Cutmore-Scott), Barry Sandel (James Earl), and Neal Fissley (Charlie Saxton) are school friends, and twenty something roommates. They come up with a hangover cure. There's the neighbor Kelly Bishop (Meaghan Rath), Cooper's brother Josh (Justin Bartha) and his wife Leslie (Liza Lapira). The premise is that they make stupid mistakes teaching the audience what not to do.

This is a fun likable multi-ethnic young group. None of them are outrageously funny. There is good chemistry. It's nothing special and no big laughs. It works to some extent but canceled after a half season.

It is a story about a group of graduates at the beginning of their careers going through mishaps and hilarities in life, and resolving them to a good end. The style was relaxing and fun. It brushed upon the value of comradeship among friends, the comedic dynamic between siblings, the inevitable need to face and resolve emotional backlogs, and the likely requirement of timing in getting girls. The story stands complete in this series. Good for chilling.

all in all i enjoy it, it gets more then a chuckle out of me which now a days is fairly hard to do.

the cast is entertaining and the story is pretty funny.

i don't know what they replaced with this but i can say i was never interested in it.

I'm just waiting on the next episode to be put on Hulu so i can watch it.

i am honestly excited to see where the show goes from here. I read some of the reviews before deciding to post because over all they are fairly negative, but i think this show deserves a honest shot on the line up. it is centered to a certain age group and it nails it's age group on it's head.
