When he drops the phone in the urinal in one of the T-Mobile commercials I actually guffawed, like a big throaty shout. Lucky I was alone.

I used to work with phones a lot and can't count how many times I've been impaled with glass from a touch screen so the one where he is bleeding made me a bit nostalgic :unsmith:

They're actually all pretty funny though

A sweaty Terry Crews turning in to a mess from trying to build the princess house was amazing.

I liked that all the side characters got to shine today.

For whatever reason Chelsea Perreti is just over the top attractive in this series. I've seen her before but she's just a perfect blend of hilarious and gorgeous. The whole show just seems like everything is clicking together really well. I'm in for the season and I hope it goes far beyond that. I'm really hoping the numbers stabilize and this show gets a full run, its certainly got the potential.

"Breathless" was directed by Godard, not Truffaut. :colbert:

Yeah, and also on the staff is Laura McCreary, who arguably wrote some of the all-time greatest American Dad episodes, including "A Jones For a Smith." Cannot loving wait to see one of her episodes.

I can't believe this show has only had three episodes and it already feels like they've found their groove. All the characters already have established voices and the actual comedy is firing on all cylinders. Feels like it's almost cheating to be that far along this early.

I'm trying to remain positive, but the numbers aren't promising. Even New Girl isn't doing great and it's been a solid performer. Seems that a lot of new shows are doing bad out of the gate as well as a lot of returning shows. There's a few exceptions like Sleepy Hollow, but otherwise ratings have been down almost everywhere. Even some CBS shows are getting hit hard.

On the contrary, I think they're playing Crews perfectly.

I get the feeling that Crews and Beatriz are going to end up stealing the show. They played the castle and police brutality jokes perfectly, respectively.

e: Is there any info on whether or not the title music was sampled from a song?

Yeah, it's smart casting to *not* use Crews in the way that everyone thinks of him -- super macho cool tough guy, or whatever. Having him be ineffective and sometimes effeminate is a great contradiction and actually gives him some nuance.

With the ratings the way they are, I'll take the shortcut to solid comedy since it means we'll get as much of it as possible.

Also, agreed on Crews. He's being used perfectly to play against his own type, and he's bringing quite a bit of his own skill to it to make it an organic fit instead of feeling like HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS GUY bullet point.

TV by The Numbers has predicted cancellation for this series. That really sucks since this is the best new comedy in years.

Here's hoping they're wrong. :ohdear:

If numbers are down across the board, hopefully they will keep it.

Maybe I need to start tweeting Fox to keep it though.

It would even be nice to see this show sold to FX or TBS or something to go with their comedy blocks, although I imagine B-99's cast is too expensive.

I think their casting is really cheap, actually. A lot of the actors on the show aren't really stars. Samberg might be considered one, but Braugher, despite being critically revered, doesn't really command a high salary. If it moved to cable, I could see them getting a shorter episode order but otherwise not suffering too much.

If the BBC could afford to put Samberg in a show, then your local public access station probably can too.
