Dads Pilot

This show stars Seth Green, Giovanni Ribisi and Martin Mull.  Pretty much a sitcom of two friends who run a video game business and is stuck with their overbearing and embarrassing dads. 

It looks like a fairly funny show and I will continue to watch it, but I feel it will not last a full season.  The joke timing seems a bit off and the storyline will not last long at all.  

We shall see.  Good luck

Later....

TV Review: Ironside Rebirth

Blair Underwood stars in the rebirth of Ironside, which origonally starred Raymond Burr (1967).  For those who don't know, Robert Ironside is a rough, experienced detective who is restricted to a wheelchair after a shooting accident on the job.  I worry about remakes like these because they usually do not survive long, but it could be possible with another rebirth that is one of my current favorites, Hawaii 5-0.  NBC needs another crime drama to work along side of Law & Order: SVU.  This show could do it.  Crossing fingers for this one.

Underwood is joined by Pablo Schreiber (The Wire, Weeds & Orange is the New Black), Spencer Grammer (As The World Turns & Greek) and Brent Sexton (Deadwood, Life & The Killing).

TV Review: NBC's Welcome to the Family

Welcome to the Family is a new NBC comedy that stars, Ricardo Chavira (Desperate Housewives), Justina Machado (Six Feet Under & Three Rivers), Mary McCormack (The West Wing & In Plain Sight) and Mike O'Malley (Yes, Dear & Glee).  Two newly high school graduates got a new surprise when they  discover that they are pregnant.  It throws the parents plan completely out the window, but they try to make it work.

This show look very funny and given that it stars actors from previous successful show, I see a promising future for it.  It has some serious shoes to fill.

Premieres Thursday, October 3rd.
