    Terrible show

    This show is not worth the time. The acting is pretty bad and the story line is just over the top. The kid graduates college but can't/doesn't want too/won't join the real world. The writing is really predictable and not funny. I've that a lot of the dialog is improvised which explains the lack of wit and really nonexistent story lines within the episodes. This show may hit home with some but if it does you probably will find it and his friend 'Dub' funny. I wouldn't expect it to be around for long as it has no redeeming qualities other than Fox proclaiming it the "funniest new show." Saying it as much as they like won't make it true. Production dollars would be spent better elsewhere.

    Funny for me, others may not get it

    To me, this was a pretty funny show. I've never commented on these before, but had to, as the only comment here was so negative. So, it doesn't follow the typical sitcom formula. It is, in fact, realistic. The improvisation provides realistically awkward moments. In real life, there is no script, you see. The story is great, I've been through similar things and so have a lot of people I know - after college, a lot of people don't get jobs immediately. That is also realistic. It is awkward to return to your home-town, see old friends who never moved on, girls you had a crush on, try to party and have fun, but still feel a bit out of place, see your family differently, it is funny, awkward, real life. I wish this show would come back, but I guess it is too different.

    You might be surprised...

    I just watched the pilot and second episode and I have to say I was impressed. I'm typically hard to please when it comes to sitcoms, so I wasn't expecting much from "Free Ride," thinking it would be another, typically dumb FOX attempt at the genre. But I actually found myself laughing from the very beginning. Most of the jokes were subtle, which might be an acquired taste, but I appreciate it. More importantly, the drama was subtle too (a la "The Office," a huge favorite). I was also impressed by the acting, since I'd really never heard of any of the cast. In all, it was funny and surprisingly real. "Free Ride" is definitely worth a test drive.

    Eh... We'll see where it goes.

    Ever seen the classic "Ordinary People?" Remember when Conrad is dealing with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with his brother's death? Remember "Stand By Me" and the main character's missing his dead brother as well?

    It's not like any of these.

    It's much more like "Orange County." The main character, Nate (Josh Dean) came home from college. He's had a change of plans in terms of what he will be doing. His parents' marriage is on the fritz and they're going through marriage counseling while making inappropriate comments to Nate. Nate's old buddy (sort of) named Dove is like an imitation Jack Black('s character in Orange County). Only one episode has aired, so we'll see what happens to the series... I have a feeling it won't last too long, but for some reason, Josh Dean's character made me chuckle.

    Why was I watching Fox anyway?

    i worked on the 6 th episode

    i worked on the 6th episode. and had a great time. Many may not know but the entire show is Improved. it is not scripted. so the comedy is and filming is fast.

    i play mayo the dog catcher.

    i was treated great and had a wonderful time. i hope the show continues and the network picks up some more shows. not often does an actor get the chance to have an open book to work from we always get stuffed into the writers work that has been hashed over by many other people that should have left it alone. the director Mr Thomas was great allot of fun to work with and i hope i get a chance to do so again.

    he was giving and kind.

    Frankie Ray.

    p.s. go dove.

    go to my space and find Free ride and check out some of the behind the scene video interviews mine is the last one.
