Looks good, Fox is somebody America has loved, pre and post Parkinson's. I think it hits that Modern Family sweet spot. Some of the other comedies NBC opted for sound terrible. I was disappointed they didn't pick up the John Mulaney show. The review from the taping of the pilot sounded great and the casting was intriguing: http://splitsider.com/2013/04/john-mulaneys-pilot-taping-was-last-night-and-it-was-great/ Mulaney was a writer at SNL and co-wrote Stefon with Bill Hader, but he's been away from the show this season to work on this stand up and pursue opportunities like his own show. People who write about this stuff are speculating that NBC would want him to go back to SNL and takeover Weekend Update now that Seth Meyers is going to host Late Night after Fallon. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GLkkYcVVYsQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="512" height="288" src="http://www.hulu.com/embed.html?eid=phqqr6nrrej1-5-qc-qptq" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
As a self-interested person myself, I'm glad that he is championing a cause to research a disease that slowly took away my grandfather. But on a less serious note... We'll see how this goes. Almost every modern sitcom is just too derivative for me to enjoy.
It's the best trailer for a sitcom that I've seen in a long time. Thanks! I probably would have heard about it eventually, but I don't watch much in the way of network TV and might have missed it. I'll be sure and check out a couple of episodes this fall. I can always use a good laugh, and maybe it'll turn out to be funny. Give Fox funny things to say, and he's a very funny guy, with impeccable timing. Put me down as someone who hopes they don't overplay the disease angle. I kinda like the idea of watching a guy make a life for himself and his family, despite having to deal with it everyday. Just don't make all the jokes about it.
Only if you intersperse 'that's what she said' throughout the bits because that's just hilarious... amirite?
I think it's a good idea, if only to show that having a condition like Parkinson's isn't an immediate death sentence. You can still work, act, raise a family, and yes, make jokes.
I think you're spot on. I bet the last thing people with a certain disease want others to do is to treat them like freaks or special and walk in tippy toes around them.
I know you're trolling me, but, I'll play your game, you rogue: What disease does "that's what she said" make fun of? It's nothing funny, though. Make it "normal" to be that way.
The point is you think you can make anything funny by saying TWSS. You throw it on every thread. Example: 'The disease makes me all shaky.' [Enter Stage right] SwoLy-D: That's what she said. You know it's normal when you can make fun of it without people freaking out. When you can't make fun of it is when it's not normal.
Ummm, no, I don't. You apply that only as a reply to a statement or post that may seem like sexual innuendos for what a woman might respond during sex or at the sight of a large schlong. That's not what SHE said. When those who aren't big celebrities who have no means of "living normal" with diseases like the one mentioned in this thread are struggling to live, it's NO JOKE.
When there are women in the world who have to live in sexual captivity and have large schlongs forced on them, it's NO JOKE. cwutididthar?
