Single White Spenny

I give this show a three mostly because I used to like Kenny vs Spenny so I will bump up the rating here. It is not the worst show ever made in the history of television like some of you are saying but it is definitely not a very good show at all. The writing on this show is the worst with tired old cliché situations and the worst jokes you can imagine, as if a public school writing class was doing it as a project. The acting is terrible too with Spenny pretty much just playing himself except he's dating and having sex with a lot of girls which (sorry Spenny) just does not come off as believable or original. I have no idea what they were even trying to accomplish with this show.

This is my first review ever. I was motivated when I saw how the average reviews of this show were so far off from how funny this show is to me. I am not sure how other folks don't find this show funny. It is. Since it's a little off the wall, I think it might be just a matter of getting used to it. As far as the quality of acting, I don't think particularly strong acting is a focus or a requirement of this show. It's strong enough to get the humor to come though, and it's a new show so I think they'll gel as time goes on.

I laugh repeatedly at each episode, and some people gave this 1 star. 1 Star!! That's just not realistic. I'm sure they didn't like it, but there's no way it deserved a 1. So, in order to try and even this out I'm rating it a 10, but really I'd normally probably give it an 8.

As a big Kenny vs Spenny fan I might have been expecting a bit much here- Spenny finally gets his own show with a chance to shine, step up and show what he can do without chief antagonist Kenny there to foil all his well laid out plans. But what we actually get is something far different. Lots of Spenny's neurotic behavior just like we came to expect in the K vs S series, but without any real villain to play off of the plot attempts to go in a thousand different directions at once, but ultimately bogs down due to lack of any clear objective.

The whole premise of this show as far as I can tell is to explore the issues a mid-forties man-child has with the various woman in his life. One of the issues with the main character is he's supposed to be a socially inept nerd due to the love he never received as a child from his mother (played very well I might add by Debra McGrath). Of course simply building on that premise is not enough for our intrepid hero as he eventually pushes the character over the top into full retard mode with brilliant lines such as: "mommy said to wash my hands after making a duty" and who can ever forget that memorable scene in the park where a jovial Spenny cuts loose on the balance beam and kiddie slide...classic stuff!

Spenny, if you're reading this what I'd like to know is if you're afraid of getting type cast from the whole K vs S thing then why are you still doing a another variation on the Spenny theme? Why not flesh out a whole new character and take it in a completely different direction. Personally I think you'd be great as some sort of action super hero fighting the forces of evil on a weekly basis. What makes your character unique could be the way he acquires his super powers, such as injecting frozen semen...call him Captain Canada or even Cockman if you can slip it by the censors.

Of course an encore season of K vs S might also work for all us die-hard fans...Cheers!

Spenny can't write, and can't act.

If he was writing short bits, sure he could be ok at it. But he has no clue how to write for television.

The funniest part is he's the irresistible one in the show.

Basically he has door to door revenge sex all through episode one and that's the comedy of the pilot episode. That's what's supposed to be funny.

Recommend it to Kenny Vs Spenny fans as a joke. That's all it's good for, because on its own it has 0 merit.

Episode 1 was a bad introduction. It gets funnier on episode 2 when you hear Spenny complaining that he's coughing up pieces of his lungs.

I'm writing a review only to lower its score from 2 stars back to 1.

I wish I could give this show 0/10, and I wish I could have the 45 minutes I spent watching this show back.

I watched the first two episodes of this series, stupidly thinking that it might get better in the second episode after how good KvS was, but it just gets worse with every minute I endured this show. Spencer is quite possibly the worst actor I've ever seen, he should really look into another career path after this abomination of a show. If you really feel that you would like to watch Spencer on TV, then look at Kenny vs Spenny, where his lack of acting ability isn't so prominent.

If you enjoyed KvS, don't be fooled into thinking that this show is even slightly amusing, it isn't a comedy, it's like reality TV with worse acting than you will ever think possible.
