How We Roll

But laugh track makes the show practically unwatchable. Cast is likeable, plot has promise. A show about chasing a dream tugs at my heartstrings and delivers just enough drama to keep me interested. Just dump the annoying, incessant laughtrack.

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.

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.

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!

Good cast; simple writing. This is the kind of show Sherwood Schwartz would have made 40-50 years ago. It's very milk-toast dialogue with bland punch lines you can see coming a mile away. The talent deserves better and sadly I think this show is doomed.
