painfully self aware

mbarror67

This program screams "Look at how much I grew up in the 80s!!!" it is full of "overtly subtle" references to the era I was supposed to take place in. It is really disappointing to see so many people that I have respected in the past from the field of comedy (Patton Oswalt, Wendy McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, George Seagal,) have signed on for a completely uninspired and forced show that is way to self aware. Unfortunately someone in the boardroom had the idea to slap together another nostalgia piece that just wasn't needed. We went through 1998- 2010 doing the "pre/post millennial nostalgia kick" and it is time to move on. Stations like AMC, FX and the Pay channels have started showing the way of where TV is heading, network keeps pumping out tired old shows and themes again and again. I really can't wait for this thing to be canceled, it is utterly terrible.

score 1/10
