If you were as depressed as I was to hear that Will was leaving SNL, don't worry. Funny boy didn't go far. And he took Jack Black with him. This show is hyper, spastic and just flat-out brilliant. I had hiccups for seven hours after watching it. That's never happened to me before. Weird.
... so far. It's only Tuesday. But it's pretty darn good. Think of it as the anti-Brady Bunch in terms of suburban comedy fare. Any show that uses "Con te Partiro" and a bizzarre water motif in soft-core male fantasies definitely gets marks for creativity. Most shows take a while for the dynamic between characters to really find its groove, but this show has done it right away- and not just between isolated pairs of characters. Each group- the kids, the moms and the dads interact with honesty, accuracy and fantastic comic timing. "Hills" doesn't try to offer deep family fare a la "7th Heaven." All it wants us to do is laugh, and I'm gonna be doing that all season.
This show is charming and likable in its own right, but in a season where primetime viewers are consumed with trying to absorb every second of "Friends"' last season, it seems unlikely that they will embrace this show. Feuerstein and Williams make a good match and share undeniable chemistry, but they're going to have to work harder than that to keep us coming back every week.
