Freddie

The main point of this review: The show never changes. It's all about girls and parties every single antagonizing episode. I could relate this to Everybody Hates Chris (which I also reviewed) but the shows are nothing like each other, even though they're both horrible and should not have been picked up for full seasons. I can't see why they didn't cancel this show already. The humor is offbeat and the show is a complete waste of half an hour. Many probably will not agree with me but I rest my case. And I don't necessarily mean the summary I wrote, just in case you were wondering. Freddie Prinze, Jr. just isn't funny and his dumb friend doesn't support the show anymore than he does.

I must admit, I only started watching this show because of the recognizable members of the cast (Freddie Prinze Jr, Brian Austin Green, Madchen Amick), but I find it to be one of the funniest sitcoms on TV right now. I totally disagree with the comment that it is trying to be like Joey, mostly because whenever I've tried to watch Joey, I find it pretty boring- I usually can't even sit through an episode! Freddie is fresh and funny without being typical. I especially like that the grandmother only speaks in Spanish...there's something so hilarious about comedy through subtitles. Prinze's comic timing is surprisingly wonderful, given some of his romantic comedy bombs in the past (Summer Catch anyone?) and who knew that Brian Austin Green was so funny? The characters in the show are quite entertaining especially Freddie's drunken widow sister-in-law (Amick) and rich, shallow, womanizing best friend (Green). These two are supremely funny when in scenes together. All in all, I'd say it's a great show that's completely worth watching!

"Freddie" is a programme that probably should never have been produced. It is poorly written, very unrealistic and worst of all - it's not funny.

Freddie Prinze Jr. as the star of the show SHOULD carry its weight but sadly he is not up to it. His performance is forever pushed and unnatural, it's as though he is trying to create a mix of Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer (who both have a natural comedic flair) but ends up failing horribly.

The grandma strand is just ridiculous. She speaks Spanish, never uttering a word of English, and yet she understands everything anyone says to her (and also now apparently everyone understands Spanish too). It seems like the writers were trying to mask the shows terrible script with a bit of class - subtitles. However, a stench can only be covered for so long.

There is one slight saving grace which makes this show watchable at the very most, Brian Astin Green. This should have been his show. Prinze Jr is not unlikeable but he can't muster the same sort of charisma as his sidekick and that's a problem when a sidekick out-shows the star.

"Freddie" relies heavily on canned laughter and it's obvious why, this is the unfunniest comedy series of the season.

actually I think the show is hysterical ! and so do a lot of other people I know. We all talk about it at work- I love it I think he did a great job all the other cast members are great Brian Austin Green great to see him back and so funny. Not only is it good for adults there is laughter for young adults too. I think they should pick up this show for a full season. I was sad to see it was not on this week and thought it might have been canceled but there is another show on January 25th. Freddie is great its about time. We need laughter in our living rooms again.I cant wait for the next episode. I know a lot of people have comments about this show but in my experience if they keep it, it will be a hit.

Freddie Prinze Jr was at the height of his popularity when ABC got him his own show. Sadly, its failure signaled the start of his career's decline. Apparently other than the name, nobody put any effort into this show. Naming this show Freddie was all these guys could come up with.

I don't particularly hate the show. There is nothing hateful or unlikeable about Freddie or the show. But there is nothing special or memorable either. Nobody in the cast stands out. It is not that funny. I certainly don't remember any big laughs. There was no reason to renew it after its single season.
