Roadies

Is 'Roadies' as good as 'Almost Famous'? No! Is it an excellent show with real-life artists playing cameos & music along side some beloved actors & actresses? YES! Does it have an amazing sound track? YES! I'm assuming the reason why 'Roadies' had only had one season was b/c everyone was expecting a 10 hour show that was on the same caliber of 'Almost Famous,' but If you go into this without the high 'Almost Famous' expectations then you should enjoy it. I found it on Hulu and was bummed to discover that there was only one season. I love any shows that revolve around music like, 'CBGB's, 'Rock & Roll', 'Vinyl,' 'Treme', 'The Get Down' etc. Hell, I even enjoyed ' Glee' & 'Smash.'. Just like 'Vinyl' and 'The Get Down' this show ended far too soon. I'll be enjoying the 'Roadies' soundtrack on Spotify for some time now.

Side note: I just looked it up & 91% of google users like 'Roadies.' It currently has a 7.4 IMDB rating; yet, it only has a 34% score on Rotten Tomatoes. What that tells me is that critics tore it apart, but the people enjoyed it. 'Roadies' may not be the best musical themed tv show of all time, but it does deserve to watched & appreciated.

Thank you Cameron Crowe for all your great movies & this show. Please continue to make shows & movies for us to enjoy.

This is an easy-going, low-key thoughtful comedy. No one is getting killed or raped each week. It is a show about relationships, and, I love it. Unlike 'Happyish', these characters are likable and fun to watch. The show has gotten better every week. I really want to see more of Ron (Tater) White, who plays Phil. Luke Wilson is always watchable, and, Imogene Poots is terrific as always (great American accent). Who cares if this is an accurate portrayal of roadies. Has anyone bothered to portray them before? As for the user comment about the lack of racial diversity in the cast, they haven't watched the show. Branscombe Richmond is Native American, Luis Guzman is Hispanic, Finesse Mitchell and Catero Colbert are African American.

What a great show. Loved it from beginning to end. I NEED to know what happens next Cameron. Someone pick this up!

I love this show. Don't even understand why it was canceled. Clever stories, great cast, excellent music. It was amazing.I just watched all of them again on showtime, cried watching regs' montage. Laughed at the funeral, seemed like a real one. I want to know what was going to happen next.

I'm not sure if they meant to only have one season of this show? It's such a shame that they didn't continue on with it! The cast is absolutely amazing & anyone who has any love for music would just appreciate this show for how great it is or was.
