Nobodies

It makes me laugh, I care about the characters. It is insightful and relevant. I have read some reviews from critics that are less than kind, and I can not believe they have really viewed the show as opposed to reading a synopsis about it. There are relationship dynamics, surprises and I literally laugh out loud. Highly recommended over much of what is on TV.

I am not sure how to describe this show. I saw the trailers for it and I thought it looked funny and interesting. Just watched the first few episodes and it really not funny at all. It is celebrities attempting to be humorous about other celebrities. I think they are trying way too hard to make it funny which well makes it not funny at all. I found myself not even wanting to watch the next episode. I don't know it looked promising but fell flat. I wanted to like it!

I have only seen the two episodes broadcast so far, and each of them have been really good. The desperation of three television writers to get a show produced hinges on their loose affiliation with Melissa McCarthy, whose name they drop during meetings with TV executives. At present, they are writing for an animated kids show called "The Fartlemans." (I think that is the name; it's something with "fart" in it) Their attempt to move past that particular writing credit and launch a new show has them doing some fast-talking to Hollywood big shots. This is such a good parody of that entire industry. If you like Melissa McCarthy-type humor, you will love this. Though MM's husband, Ben Falcone, has appeared in several episodes, MM has not as yet appeared, but I'm sure she will and am looking forward to that, whenever it happens. Falcone and McCarthy are producing this show. In the meantime, Nobodies is a riot, and I hope others will tune in for it.

I love that so many of the poor reviewers have watched the entire first season. I mean, seriously, it's like some of the guest celebrities from Season 1 are still trying to get these Nobodies. It's a great show.

Love the show, very witty and well written. It's a pleasure to watch a show that isn't formulaic with that obnoxious canned laughter.
