Occupé ce soir

I was really rooting for this show. I like Busy, but it is not great. The jokes are cringe worthy, she just seems uncomfortable. I hope she finds a better project. This show is not for her.

I love Busy Phillips, and wanted to like this show but I can't get into it yet. I feel a little bit uncomfortable because she seems uncomfortable and it rubs off on me. She is very funny in movies and sitcoms but talk show comedy is not for her. She looks at too many different cameras, and it gets confusing. I was rooting for a female-led talk show since this world is dominated by men (As sad as that is). Women can be funny, despite the sexism. But I think this will be her first and last season.

I love Busy and have for a while but this show is hard to watch. It just does not have a good flow and the pieces that should be funny aren't. I will try a couple more episodes but if it doesn't get better I'm out.

So I put this initially at 1 and changed to 5. I think being her first show I didn't give it enough of a chance who wouldn't be terrified of their first show?! PUBLICLY! Way to go girl! Gets better each episode and least she keeps it cool, and relatable.

I have seen every episode of this show. I wanted to give it a solid chance of coming into its own before I made any judgments. So, Busy can be really awkward...eye contact is not necessarily her forte. And sometimes the conversation feels really forced with the guests. But honestly it's so funny. Every episode makes me laugh. Shantira is top notch. And even the guests I don't know very well, or maybe don't care about, are still enjoyable to watch because of the carefree nature of the show. It's fun. If you're looking to dive in, I'd recommend the Leslie Grossman ep, the D'Arcy Carden, KBell, or David Alan Grier. Those are my favorites. The show has a ways to go, Busy needs to loosen up a little bit, and Kelly needs to speak up more. But all in all I really enjoy it and hope that it continues.
