The Rebels

Really funny and so much potential. I love football movies and shows, but when it comes to football shows, there just aren't enough good ones. I want this show to stay because it legitimately looks good. Please Amazon keep this show. You could have a real hit on you hands. Josh Peck is here and I love him and so does everybody that grew up with Drake and Josh. To see him in a possible new show and being really cool and funny is awesome. Also the scene with the monkey is hilarious. Crack, monkeys, and guns are always a good combo. I just hope amazon keeps this one because it is really funny and a good subject. Way better than Transparant. No offense it it, but this show rocks. I will be praying they keep it. If not then crap. I just hope they keep it.

At first glance, 'The Rebels' is a rehash of the old 'First and Ten" show from HBO. But so what? Hollywood has been, and still does, produce movies that are remakes. A lot of us don't even realize that they are remakes. And not surprisingly, or maybe it is, these revisits have done very well at the box office historically. Now if it works for the movies, why can't it work for television? 'The Rebels' proves it can. I loved this episode. It was well written, well directed and well cast. I have a minor issue with the character of the owner's son, Chris. His character is pretty flat. You could take any thirteen year old kid and stick them in the role. The creators did an outstanding job fleshing out the rest of the characters. There is only so much character development you can accomplish in one, short episode. They put their efforts in the right places. The most important things are that the show is entertaining and funny. This is a very well done show and deserves a look.

After watching the Pilot I have to say the writers did a good job incorporating the wackiness without going over the top like they do in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The characters are also not overly unbelievable like in Brooklyn Nine-Nine which are totally over the top at times. I am pleased when I don't have to face-palm myself at scenes like when they use corny idiotic used up jokes in other comedy shows.

There are a lot of cliché moments, but it is a cliché story so that is to be expected. I still found it very entertaining and hope it gets picked up for more episodes. All in all very well written for such an cliché story.

The was a great first episode and kept my interest the entire time. I definitely want to see more!!! It is not often that I like the first episode of a show. However, this pilot was funny and seems like it will be a great series. Football is a huge American sport and a show like this will attract a lot of watchers. It's a unique show and something different from what's typically out there. I am also interested in seeing or getting a glimpse of what happens outside of the field. Love it please keep it! Great story line, I am looking forward to see how things turn out. I want to get into a new show and this is it!! I will be watching this first episode again for laughs!

One thing that kept coming up while I and a few friends were watching The Rebels was, why is this only a 30 minutes show? We want more!! I wish it had been a full hour.

I would give this is an 9 out of 10...

It started out on the WTF side but once it got about 5 minutes in it pulled me in, and just as you start to get into it, it's over!!! It reminded me of a combo of Weeds, Necessary Roughness, and North Dallas Forty... I love the fact that the FOX football show commentators were in this and did a flawless job...

I really hope Amazon pick this up!
