I thought it was suprisingly good. Who wouldn't want a margarita pool,a poo pool and a garbage pool.

I thought it was horrible, wasn't that funny and pretty much a cliche.

I like Forte, but I don't think he's strong enough to carry his own vehicle, and people are going to get bored of this fairly quickly. An hour was way too long for it.

I expect that it doesn't last its first year.

Wait, did you actually watch the show? It was more than just Forte ####ing around. The first 30m was as expected (meh guy dicking around, everything in the commercials), but goddamn the last half was amazing.

I've read internet rumblings that the shows cast will feature a lot of the top comedians around.

Yeah, I watched the last half, it just didn't do much for me at all.

The only thing that I really liked was that they resisted the temptation to make the female foil hot and annoying.

Instead they made her not hot and annoying, but she's the only thing around.

I just didn't find it that funny.

I missed it, but wanted to watch it.

Any idea if the premier will be re-broadcast?

First 10 minutes, I thought it would end up being garbage. Last 30 minutes... I was actually liking it by the end. Curious to see where it goes but I'm definitely sticking with it.

Big thumbs up from me (and my wife, and it's rare we find a new comedy we both really like). Forte does a great job conveying the underlying sadness of his situation, and little details like Mark Mothersbaugh doing the music gives it a bit of a Wes Anderson for the small screen sort of feel.

The wife and I loved the first two episodes. We will keep watching for sure. Was a lot of fun.

Is there a way to see these first two episodes? I totally missed them

I'm sure there are ways, but most likely not legal. Not sure if it's available on VOD in Canada.

Thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. I'm all about the aquarium bowling.

The stop sign and parking spot arguments were great.

I really like the idea of a small community of comedians slowly growing in Tucson. I like it so much that I'm not going to look up who else has been cast in the show, best to be surprised.

I didn't love the first two episodes, but I'll keep tuning in because it's a unique concept and i am a big fan of Phil Lord and Chris Miller from their Clone High days:

I liked it. He just did lots of stuff just because. If I could wear Rocky's robe, why wouldn't I ?

I'm now an episode behind, but I am loving this show so far. Will Forte sells it for me no question.

Yep show has a great hook and will at least be good for one season. Beyond that, well time (and hopefully brilliant casting) will tell.
