listen to the mad man
I'm not sure I'd go that far, but yes I think this is definitely one of the better multi-cam pilots in the last few years. It had a very loose feel to it. Cristela (the character) felt like she was very joyful, like she really enjoyed delivering her lines. The family scenes worked better than the office scenes for me (I felt the boss was a little too much).
I actually thought the brother-in-law was Titus Welliver, but apparently not.

Caught up with the Cristela pilot today, and found it quite charming. I have a very dry sense of humor and don't usually laugh much at TV shows (NO FUN ALLOWED!), but it had my wife cracking up a lot.

Oh, completely forgot The Walking Dead is back. Busy monday's then with Boardwalk, TWD, Homeland, The Affair and B99 :/
I've already been noticing I'm slacking on TV shows. Still need to watch some eps of Penny Dreadful, The Knick and Person of Interest (season 3 still). And I was planning on watching The Strain but I didn't even start it yet. And Bron/Broen's second season is also on the waiting list. On the plus side, I've been playing some actual games lately

I watched the first two episodes of Survivor's Remorse. The cast is solid, there is a decent amount of humor, and I do like the aspects of the story that tie back to the family's old life prior to the fame and fortune.
Everything feels way over the top. There seems to be a focus to keep the topic as contemporary as possible, and the second episode in particular felt like it tried too hard to touch on one of the two hot button issues plaguing sports right now.
All in all, and entertaining show. I've never seen Entourage, but I'm assuming this is very similar except substituting a basketball star in place of an actor.

The entire cast of Entourage consisted entirely of nauseating douchebags, so that's another difference.

Such a sad picture, considering both leads had such great comedies get caceled prematurely
This was solid enough, not great, but solid. I like the leads.
I liked it. Nothing great, but pretty funny.
Yeah, I'm just watching this for Eliza Coupe. It was funny though, I'll keep going on it. I gotta watch Marry Me, I forgot. Then I can just mash both shows in my head and pretend it's Happy Endings.
Legit funny pilot. The judge was the highlight for me, his timing was just fantastic.
Anybody doing the OT for it? Will do it if nobody steps up.
Omg yes.
is that the Better off Ted guy?

Yep ;_;
Yes more hot mess Eliza Coupe is always great. Pilot was entertaining.

I must now watch this.
Everyone is quoting this post. Now I feel the urge to do it too.
I'll watch it tomorrow morning.
Yeah :-(
Pilot was good, though. I fear for its survival after USA's "no more comedy" directive.

They had a No More Comedy directive?

So essentially a "Benched gets benched" title change will come to this thread

I thought the benched pilot was ok. I didn't like it at first until she basically stopped caring about keeping her new job. Then she had snide comments for everything

I liked the Affair very much.

Awesome. Need to catch up on S2.
Lillyhammer is easily one of the most original and unique shows in recent years. It's so different from the other formulaic crap out there.

Likes Jane the Virgin. Dislikes Cristela.

Actually, I haven't watched Jane. Is it good, or "CW good"?

You kind of have to watch it for yourself. I don't know if I like it because its good or because its funny.
