Alex, Inc.

Alex Schuman (Zach Braff) has a nice radio job with a sweet lawyer wife Rooni and the two kids. He decides to quit his job for this new risky podcasting thing. He is joined by his cousin Eddie (Michael Imperioli) and adoring assistant Deirdre. They rent space from a startup incubator group.

This is based on Alex Blumberg's book on his podcast startup process. It may be only a few years old but it feels like another era. It's hard to make podcasting as something edgy in present day. They are better off setting this five to ten years earlier. It's a wacky network sitcom and it matters how the workplace is presented. As for the cast, I love Braff ever since Srubs and I like the interracial family. Otherwise, there isn't much else and it's mercifully canceled after ten episodes.

Zach Braf delivers. Is the show silly? Yes. Are there moments where "JD" shines through Alex? Definitely. I think it's early days yet, but I think this will be a heartfelt family driven comedy that shines a light on Braff as a father trying to have the American dream in a cynical time in US history.

I really want to like this show. I love Braff. But I cannot watch his costar (the wife)without cringing. I have watched 7 episodes, and am giving up. I am disappointed. Perhaps the plot line would have eventually made up for the jumbled beginning, but I couldn't watch long enough to see that happen.

I thought my TV was going to weep because it had to play this crap. Horrible show

With all the comedy show's viewers have available to them each week, I can't see them tuning into 'Alex, Inc'. after one viewing.

Fans of 'Scrubs' might remember Braff narrating each episode...and he does the same thing here. Hey, if the premise worked once why not do it again? Because it's old and stale, that's why. Very 90's.

The storyline isn't fresh either. A guy gets sick of working at his corporate job and decides to venture out on his own ~ deceiving his wife in the process. Honestly can't recommend this show, or give it more than 3*.
