No sitcom is perfect in the pilot. A sitcom needs several episodes to get into its own rhythm. I'm not going to write this one off yet. Tim Allen is a sitcom veteran. Kat Dennings is memorable from her role on two broke girls. They are perfect casting to play estranged father and daughter reunited after Riley and her kids need to move in with her father after the matriarch has passed away. I don't expect much from the first episode. There are few laughs though. Traditional sitcoms with audiences are a dying breed. We need them to make a comeback though. I'll watch it because I love Kat Dennings too. We will see where the show take us.
Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are best friends in the Midwest. They're closer than Siamese twins. They know everything about each other. They both work at Jennifer Convertibles in their small town. When it goes out of business, they're unemployed. They decide to go to Vista Del Mar, Florida and have the time of their lives. Wiig does double duty in playing two roles. The film is a comedy where Barb and Star save Vista Del Mar from the evil albino character. Barb and Star should return for a sequel. It's fun watching this movie. Plenty of familiar faces like Wendi McClendon, Vanessa Bayer, Phyllis Smith and others. I enjoy the bright colors of Vista Del Mar. You wonder what happened to Barb and Star when they go home to their small town. Maybe there should be a sequel.
Denis Leary plays a military career man with hopes for his career. When he's transferred to an American base in the Netherlands, he is reunited with his estranged daughter. Danny Pudi plays his sidekick and is great casting choice. British Catherine Tate plays the Dutch mayor. The military base isn't known for combat but for the best dining hall and churning butter or cheese. Leary.s Quinn doesn't care too much for his daughter's style and approach to running the base. He's old school and she's new school. There is plenty to look forward too. While it's supposed to be Holland, it's actually filmed in Canada. While it takes a few episodes for a sitcom to settle, I ave high hopes for it.
