Perfect Couples cancelled?

Perfect Couples

NBC announced last week that after April 7th, Perfect Couples, the NBC sitcom starring nerd favorite Olivia Munn, will be pulled from the air and replaced with a new Paul Reiser sitcom. Nope you didn’t read that wrong, it is apparently 1993 and Paul Reiser has more promise then Perfect Couples to NBC. Get ready for some zany stories about airplane food not being very tolerable.

After many bad reviews of Perfect Couples by yours truly, I kept with it and have to say it started to show some hope. I don’t know that it would ever hit the comedic strides of 30 Rock or Community, but the “main” couple played by Kyle Bornheimer and Christine Woods were showing great comedic timing and, especially Woods, often had me audibly laughing. It’s too bad this show will not get a full shot at sticking around. I think with another year and some more story development we could have had a good show, but we’ve seen it happen to many shows who needed some more incubation, including NBC’s “The Cape”. Another one bites the dust. The cast had some talent, I wish them all the best.

Eureka! I found a new show to contend for my heart!

Last night whilst combing through the ever expanding netflix queue, I decided to give a new show a shot. That show? Eureka, a syfy (still hate that name) series that is full of people I know from movies and other series (hello Miles Dyson) and is honestly one of the most endearing shows I’ve seen in a while. Usually a show needs a few episodes to get off its feet, two of my favorite current shows, 30 Rock and Community, both had this starting hiccup where it seems the writers don’t have the characters fully realized yet and it seems as if this world just didn’t exist before you got there, then they either stumble or hit a stride. Both of the previously mentioned shows vie for my favorite show on television titles and are highly recommended.

I’ve been screaming this from the rooftops since the first episode dropped on YouTube over the holidays, but Deadly Class just may have the best pilot to hit the small screen in recent years.

NBC’s Revolution Trailer – A Fun Romp Through The Apocalypse (Video)

I hadn’t heard all that much about NBC’s new science fiction survival story “Revolution”, until earlier this week while recording our very own podcast. Revolution follows the adventures of a family attempting to survive in a world without order, law, or electricity. As with everything J.J. Abrams touches, there will inevitably be a vast and complicated conspiracy designed to stretch for multiple seasons

    It seemed like this show had cancel written all over it from the start. While I liked Christine Woods and Mary Ellis, the comedy among the couples was often annoying more than it was funny, and I found many of the characters un-relatable.

      Yeah, well from the start it was un-relatable, hokey, and the comedy was really stiff. I think it started to show some glimmers of hope when they began giving the guys and girls actual flaws that all of us could have, but nothing was ever really developed. I don’t think it was good by any means yet, but I’d rather watch 4 hours of perfect couples then 30 minutes of Paul Reiser.

    We liked this show. It had a rough start, but I thought it would progress into a great show.

    Oh well.
