... pretty great! I love that the guy who played Buster on Arrested Development plays this obsessed video clerk, he's easily my favorite part of the show so far (lady calls, he says, 'No, we don't have Meet the Fockers' as the camera pans by an entire stand filled with Meet the Fockers DVDs

). You can watch all six episodes of the show (impending cancellation, anyone?) on NBC.com too.

Also,

at all the Chinatown references.

I'm not happy about 30 Rock being placed on hiatus for ANY show. Even though I love Andy Richter and of course Tony Hale (Buster)

Holy crap, the part where he throws the baby seat out the window and the Russians think he's throwing a baby

How did you see this? It is not on till next week
edit: never mind

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #5 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:02:01 PM »

I like how this group of shop owners in a strip mall form his P.I. team. The dude who runs the kabob place is great. Holy crap, the dude from Fargo is great in Episode 2.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #6 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:06:01 PM »

Okay, the pilot has its moments, but is okay - but the second episode is one liner city. Show has a lot of promise, but I don't think it bodes well that you can view them all online already.

Dude, link me.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:12:11 PM »

View them all right here - Episode 2 is where the funny really starts, though!

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #9 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:13:36 PM »

Fuck, I forgot these computers don't have sound. $:-\$

Will have to wait for tonight I guess.

Cheebs · « **Reply #10 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:16:33 PM »

Wow, I watched the first episode. Pretty good.

I hope it bombs though. If this does good it gets a full season replacing 30 Rock which is struggling.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:29:03 PM »

Everything that old dude from Fargo says is gold. He needs more screen time.

What kind of omen is that? I would think they would put episodes online regardless of how well it does initially just to generate some new interest. They should do it with all new shows.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:37:30 PM »

They put the entire season up there! It's a mid-season replacement, as well. If they were confident about it, it would've debuted last fall.

Cheebs · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:41:44 PM »

I will die if this replaces 30 Rock next fall. 30 Rock is the funniest show since AD $:-\$

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:42:25 PM »

amen.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #16 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:44:10 PM »

I dunno, after Episode 2, I want this to replace 30 Rock. Old dude from Fargo + Buster > Tracy Morgan

Cheebs · « **Reply #17 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:51:26 PM »

This clip shows why 30 Rock is the funniest thing since AD:

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #18 on:** March 09, 2007, 04:08:35 PM »

Okay, fuck 30 Rock, the fourth episode of this show is gold. I'm a believer - Andy Barker, hail!

Cheebs · « **Reply #19 on:** March 09, 2007, 04:11:22 PM »

I am going to track andy barker's ratings. This thing better no raise above a 3.3 post-premiere or I will shoot myself. Even though I now watched 3 episodes and love it. DAMN IT NBC

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #20 on:** March 09, 2007, 04:18:22 PM »

Dude, the fourth is the best so far. It's so fucking funny.

Cheebs · « **Reply #21 on:** March 09, 2007, 04:20:36 PM »

I'll have all 6 done by the end of the weekend, I do enjoy it. Despite half of me wanting it to bomb. I am so conflicted

.

One thing though. WHY THE HELL ISN'T ANDY RICHTER CONTROL'S THE UNIVERSE ON DVD?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** March 09, 2007, 04:21:50 PM »

Andy Barker is no AD, the pilot wasnt that entertaining

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #23 on:** March 09, 2007, 04:25:10 PM »

I never said it was! The pilot is okay, the show really grows as it goes on. The fourth episode is awesome.

There never will be a AD again.

Someone explain to me how the same Ron Howard of THE DA VINCI CODE is also the Ron Howard of Arrested Development. It baffles the mind!

bluemax · « **Reply #25 on:** March 09, 2007, 05:56:46 PM »

This show is pretty funny. Not AD funny, but I've been giggling and laughing at the first 3 episodes.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #26 on:** March 09, 2007, 06:24:02 PM »

Weren't you the same guy who liked the Sarah Silverman Show?

lol

Really though, I'll have to check it out, purely for Buster.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #27 on:** March 09, 2007, 06:25:17 PM »

I do enjoy The Sarah Silverman Program - and I'm not alone! It was one of the best reviewed and rated Comedy Central programs since South Park. It's coming back! Woo!

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report were after South Park yet are beloved by the press.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #30 on:** March 10, 2007, 01:48:18 PM »

I never said otherwise! Sarah Silverman is also beloved by the press. I said it "was one of the best reviewed and rated Comedy Central programs since South Park", that generally implies that it is one of MORE.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #31 on:** March 10, 2007, 02:22:11 PM »

But it actually sucks.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #32 on:** March 10, 2007, 02:29:12 PM »

Not sayeth critics and ratings!

Cheebs · « **Reply #33 on:** March 10, 2007, 04:02:16 PM »

I don't feel I have the right to say it sucks mainly because I just don't GET IT. It seems that is just singing and talking about things 15 year-old's find funny but because boobies are saying it is it original and cutting edge. I can't comprehend the appeal of it.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #34 on:** March 10, 2007, 04:07:12 PM »

It's just absurd and funny.

Andy Barker, as the show progresses, really feels like a grown up version of Pete & Pete.

'Kay, then it must be the best show ever! I'll get to watching it tonight if I can.
