How We Roll

If the first episode is any indication, this is a bland, by-the-book sitcom. And it's a shame, because it's a waste of the talent of two of my favorite actors: Chi McBride and Julie White. The writing is pretty bad and the lead, Pete Holmes, is one of those comedians whose acting is too "acty." Some comedians are meant to stay stand up comics and not become actors - he is one.

I will watch a few more episodes in the hopes that maybe the production and writing staff after this pilot do a much better job than thos starter.

Get rid of the laugh track. We are not stupid. I would give it 2 more stars if not for that. The characters are good. The stories are funny. Again get of the stupid laugh track.

Really bad acting. The concept is different which is unusual nowadays, but it's just painful to watch. The acting is forced and fake. Timing is off. No chemistry.

After Watching the pilot, I thought the show was pretty funny and would watch it again however the the bowlingTechnique needs to be more realistic to a professional bowler. For example: The ball grip isn't proper for a high level bowler. Should be drilled to a fingertip grip.

Also his approach is amateur foe some who can bowl a 265. Improve on these things and the show is more believable.

The day the comedy died. Obvious, unfunny play on words jokes recited in forced inflection, introduced by characters you know nothing about, propped up with a laugh track at a subdued volume that doesn't mimic an audience. As emphasized by Brian Cox in his informative, stirring, laugh out loud memoir, it's the script, the script, the script.
