How is this even on the air??

I like to check out as many of the new shows on each season, at least once. And I'm a trooper, baby, I watch them all the way through even if they suck. This is the FIRST time I couldn't stomach watching this new show all the way through. It is SO BAD, it boggles my mind that it would ever get past the script stage.

I apologize here to John Mulaney, but dude, you can't act. If people are telling you you're good (and I'm sure they are), they're lying to you. You need to be in acting class and learning the craft. Once you can actually act -- which is not the same as being a comedian -- then come back to TV and give it a shot.

The writing of this pilot episode is horrible, too. Unfunny, stupid jokes with lame set-ups. Even the Martin Short character was lame. And the set-up of him not showing up for his Charity but you can get your picture taken for $25 with his cardboard cutout? WTF?? Based on this pilot script, Mr. Mulaney can't write, either.

As far as the other characters/actors in the show, I don't know whether it's them, or the writing, but they don't come off good either. I would be shocked if this show wasn't canceled. Unless the pilot is an outlier and the following episodes are much better. But I won't be tuning in. Epic fail for me.

score 1/10
