Bookie

The most recent episode with the snake in the tub and Sebastian after doing drugs made me laugh so hard. I couldn't stop giggling after my laughing fit was over. I had tears in my eyes and I am grateful my face, that was all contorted from laughter, did not stay like that.

I was so glad to see new episodes it's really a good show. The cast all fit perfectly into their roles. I have to say that Sebastian's ability to look like he's really experiencing what he's acting is excellent. It struck me when he ran through the living room how natural this is for him.

Charlie Sheen is a huge plus. I love seeing him acting again. He looks and sounds so much healthier. He's a fabulous example for others.

Thank you Chuck Lorre.

In an entertainment era often criticized for its lack of genuine laughs, Bookie emerges as a refreshing exception. Breaking away from the clichés that pervade the comedic landscape, this series managed to elicit sincere laughter from me, a rare feat in today's climate of cautious humor.

From the opening moments of the pilot, Bookie defied my expectations, replacing the usual smirks with hearty laughter. The humor was not just a fleeting moment; it persisted throughout, making me genuinely LOL multiple times until the very end.

Impressed by the comedic prowess displayed, I eagerly dove into the second episode, only to find the laughs continuing to flow effortlessly. The clever writing and comedic timing left me hooked, eagerly anticipating more episodes to indulge in the delightful laughter that Bookie effortlessly delivers.

In a world where comedy often treads carefully to avoid offending sensibilities, Bookie fearlessly embraces humor, providing a much-needed breath of fresh air. I look forward to future episodes, eager to see if Bookie can maintain its comedic charm and keep the laughter rolling.

I wasn't sure what to expect with Bookie, especially with Sebastian Maniscalco leading a series, but I've been pleasantly surprised. From the very first episode, the show pulled me in with its sharp writing, witty dialogue, and a cast of characters that feel both authentic and hilariously over-the-top. Maniscalco brings his signature style to the role, blending humor and tension in a way that keeps each episode engaging.

One of the show's biggest strengths is its mix of comedy and drama, striking a balance that makes you care about the characters while keeping the laughs coming. The supporting cast adds plenty of personality, and the cameos are a real treat-sometimes unexpected, always entertaining. Whether it's familiar faces from the comedy world or surprise guest stars, they add an extra layer of fun to an already strong series.

I've found myself enjoying Bookie a lot more than I anticipated, and by the end of each episode, I'm always left wanting more. It's the kind of show that sneaks up on you-in the best way. I really hope season three comes soon because I'm not ready to be done with this world yet.

This one looked great in the previews but in the first half of the first episode it seemed very forced and awkward. That did not last. It actually fleshed out in the second episode as a very funny and interesting show. The premise is about two bookies trying to make it in modern day California and struggling with being tough, without being "tough". They can;t seem to get out of their own way, and that leads to some interesting scenarios. The characters are good. The dynamic between the leads works well. Sebastian Maniscalco has already established himself as a good actor in other things so it was no surprise. I look forward to more with this one.

This is the best comedy to come around in a long time. Actually, this series deserves better praise than that because most shows are a total waste of time. I was never a big fan of the stand-up of Sebastian Maniscalco, but he hits his mark here.

Literally every character that steps into this series is noteworthy and could probably handle their own spin-off. I think this is a rare mix of good writing and actors who go above and way beyond what is written down on the page for them. They are all so much fun to watch. Even the kid is great in this and not the usual Anthony Soprano-type spoiled monster.

Not to give away any spoilers, but when the little birthday balloon flew away, I was rolling on the floor, and it takes a LOT to make me laugh like that. Whoever wrote that bit deserves a decent bottle of scotch in their Christmas stocking.

The humor is consistently dark and to pull this off you need flawed characters, and Danny and Ray are toxic waste dumps on legs. Each episode comes with a great punchline and leaves you wanting more. Please tell me this is coming back for another season.

What would you call the opposite of a feel-good comedy? I think that's what we have here.
