Freddie

I noticed this show when it was first released and wasn't sure whether or not to watch it, because i've never really like Freddie Prinze Jr's work. Being he is usually in romantic comedy's. The pilot episode for this series kept me laughing from beginning to finish and almost every other episode of the season followed suit. The plot may be a little unrealistic but that does not impact the fact that it is hilarious and interesting. Another review says that every episode is about the same thing girls and parties, while first of all why is that a bad thing and second its not the only series out there that is. Anyway in my opinion, you have to wonder why someone who writes a review like the one already posted even bothered to watch more then an episode if it was that horrible, i know I'm not alone in enjoying this show, so if you don't like it then don't watch it don't watch an entire season and then critique it. Anyway for those who haven't seen it it is definitely worth watching the first episode or two if you like comedy's in general and the you can decide if you want to watch more, but it is definitely a good way to pass a half hour!

Yes, the acting at times was laughable.

Yes, the show was not the best out there.

And yes, the script too, at times, was just plain lame.

BUT.

BUT.

But it should NOT have been cancelled.

I'll never forgive ABC for cancelling this show. *bitter* There were many funny moments per episode, particularly those including Chris or Grandma...

The weakest casting choice was the role of Zoey. Chloe's acting as Zoey was terrible. However, it was her fist acting role so she may have gotten better with experience.... *shrug* ANYWAY, POINT IS, this show could have gone to do a LOT better had it not been cancelled.

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.

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.

Don't get me wrong i like Freddie Prinze Jr, I'm think he is kinda cute, and have a couple of nice roles in movies. But i still don't get him as a funny guy...oh wait: a latino funny rich chef guy! since when Freddy is Latino?, i didn't know that...anyway...the point is the series is not that bad, i admit i am very surprise to see Austin Green playing comedy very nicely...and the girls on the show are quite good too. But Freddie as a leading role...he is trying so hard to be like Matt Le Blanc in Joey, and he looks a little bit like him too ( well without some extra pounds..sorry Matty), you can see he is trying to much to be funny...or at least is what i see. Anyway watch the series, and good luck i know Fred is a nice guy, and he deserve success, lets see if with a full season i can change my mind...
