Single White Spenny

I wish I could give this show 0/10, and I wish I could have the 45 minutes I spent watching this show back.

I watched the first two episodes of this series, stupidly thinking that it might get better in the second episode after how good KvS was, but it just gets worse with every minute I endured this show. Spencer is quite possibly the worst actor I've ever seen, he should really look into another career path after this abomination of a show. If you really feel that you would like to watch Spencer on TV, then look at Kenny vs Spenny, where his lack of acting ability isn't so prominent.

If you enjoyed KvS, don't be fooled into thinking that this show is even slightly amusing, it isn't a comedy, it's like reality TV with worse acting than you will ever think possible.

This television series is smart, clever, off the wall funny, and for audiences above the age of 2. Seinfeld can't act, Woody Allen can't act, Larry David can't act, and neither can Spencer Rice. But, in this day and age, that doesn't matter, it's a comedy series. The show has a very low budget "feel" to it, however the thing is well written, humorous and enjoyable to watch. I laughed out loud many times during each episode. If this show was meant to satisfy the Kenny vs. Spenny audience, the creators made a huge mistake, but if the intention was for the "Spencer persona" to transcend into a new series that is wacky and intelligent at the same time, then they succeeded. All it needs is a bit of time to get the right audience and another season to find it's groove.

As a big Kenny vs Spenny fan I might have been expecting a bit much here- Spenny finally gets his own show with a chance to shine, step up and show what he can do without chief antagonist Kenny there to foil all his well laid out plans. But what we actually get is something far different. Lots of Spenny's neurotic behavior just like we came to expect in the K vs S series, but without any real villain to play off of the plot attempts to go in a thousand different directions at once, but ultimately bogs down due to lack of any clear objective.

The whole premise of this show as far as I can tell is to explore the issues a mid-forties man-child has with the various woman in his life. One of the issues with the main character is he's supposed to be a socially inept nerd due to the love he never received as a child from his mother (played very well I might add by Debra McGrath). Of course simply building on that premise is not enough for our intrepid hero as he eventually pushes the character over the top into full retard mode with brilliant lines such as: "mommy said to wash my hands after making a duty" and who can ever forget that memorable scene in the park where a jovial Spenny cuts loose on the balance beam and kiddie slide...classic stuff!

Spenny, if you're reading this what I'd like to know is if you're afraid of getting type cast from the whole K vs S thing then why are you still doing a another variation on the Spenny theme? Why not flesh out a whole new character and take it in a completely different direction. Personally I think you'd be great as some sort of action super hero fighting the forces of evil on a weekly basis. What makes your character unique could be the way he acquires his super powers, such as injecting frozen semen...call him Captain Canada or even Cockman if you can slip it by the censors.

Of course an encore season of K vs S might also work for all us die-hard fans...Cheers!

This show not only is a disappointment in general but will be a huge let down to not only to fans of former show Kenny vs. Spenny but for any of Spenny (spener rice's) fans as well.

Any Kenny vs. Spenny fans who are thinking of checking this show out for Spencer Rice do not waste your time on this dull series.

It is an unintelligent poorly acted drama that may only appeal to those in the age range of 50-75.

Spencer Rice is not an Actor and it shows in this series.

I am very surprised any T.V station would take a chance on such a dull show.

It is not creative has no plot twist and gives nothing us as viewers have already seen on cheap soap operas.

This show is as bad as original sin and about as funny as the Nuremberg trials.

I put it on as background noise and even then it was grating & awful. Spenny isn't funny here (or most places), the show is written poorly, and the side characters have nothing to work with (although they all try).

Back to Spenny; I hate singling him out, but he's the writer, creator, and major creative force behind the show and the buck stops with him. The show isn't bad because it's not KvS or whatever, it's bad because it's not funny.

Skip this abomination and watch something worthwhile; like White Chicks, Gotti, or Agro Dr1ft. You know, something with depth.
