How We Roll

Pilot episodes only go so far in telling how good a series will be. Not a whole lot to offer so far, not a lot of laughs. Typical sitcom semi-yucks with a little "serious" story thrown in and a not too intrusive laugh track. But hey, it's about bowling (sort of, Holmes isn't the most convicing potential pro bowler), but it's different. Fingers crossed it gets funnier.

After Watching the pilot, I thought the show was pretty funny and would watch it again however the the bowlingTechnique needs to be more realistic to a professional bowler. For example: The ball grip isn't proper for a high level bowler. Should be drilled to a fingertip grip.

Also his approach is amateur foe some who can bowl a 265. Improve on these things and the show is more believable.

He's probably my favorite comedian. From his stand up to the short lived Pete Holmes Show to the WAYYYY short lived Crashing (if you haven't seen that show please watch it) but this was almost unwatchable. Not because of him either. Multi camera sitcoms with the "audience" haven't been good for years. I wish they set this up as a single camera show, no audience/no laugh track. Better editing, timing, deliveries. All that which makes single camera shows better. Shows like Community, Superstore, etc would NEVER have made it as a multi camera show.

I'm still going to watch it because of him, and even Chi McBride I'm a big fan of, but I hope it gets better from here.

If the first episode is any indication, this is a bland, by-the-book sitcom. And it's a shame, because it's a waste of the talent of two of my favorite actors: Chi McBride and Julie White. The writing is pretty bad and the lead, Pete Holmes, is one of those comedians whose acting is too "acty." Some comedians are meant to stay stand up comics and not become actors - he is one.

I will watch a few more episodes in the hopes that maybe the production and writing staff after this pilot do a much better job than thos starter.

I get sick of all the trolls savaging a new program. I remember watching the first half dozen episodes of Cheers, Modern Family and the Middle. The jokes weren't that funny and the actors timing was off, but l thought, give it a chance.

All the shows and others went on to have. Vreat run. The writing improved and the actors found their timing and places.

Some of us are too quick to judge a show, a throw away.

Hey, give them a chance to prove you wrong!
