Broke

Somebody call a plumber. Broke is another stinker of a sitcom that is headed for the toilet. I wasted five minutes of my time watching the pilot of this one one screaming, "Please make the canned laughter stop!" Can any person out there find just one good sitcom writer? It seems to me that these newer sitcoms are killing the comedy genre. Such a shame:-(

I watched all of 5 minutes before turning it off! Painful does not start to describe how bad those minutes were! Make you think that just about anyone can become a screen writer these days!

Broken and unable to fix this comedy series, that is what Broke is. When will the writers strike ever end? It must be at least five (5) years since the writers strike first began because this type of cheap comedy just seems to keep popping up with same cheap and stale comedy shows each season. This so called comedy series is about a rich (now broke) sister and her husband who are desperate to move in with her working class sister and son because they have no other place to live. The working class sister holds down two jobs one of which she works at a tavern.

I can see where this is going and that's nowhere fast except to the proverbial "CANCELLED" series before it gets through ten (if their lucky enough) or so episodes. If I was starring in this series I would literally beg the producers to stop using that god awful canned laughter box and wait and see if the actors lines being delivered invoke any real laughs.

Broke and busted a 2 out of 10

Yet another "family moves in because they're "broke". Yet another overused laugh track.

Pauley Perrette deserves a better show than this lame sitcom.
