Father of the Pride

[the_gneech]

Didn't suck; not worth going out of my way to see, either.

Blue collar, well-meaning buffoon dad
Wise lovable mom
Grumpy, randy granddad
Wacky neighbors

Been there, done that. It wasn't awful, but why bother to do it again?

Yeah, I thought there were many elements used that were done to death ten times over, but there were some funny moments, and I’ve always been a stickler for cute anthropomorphics. MY RATING: uuu½

P.S. My rating is 3½ diamonds. Somehow, you can’t show the Wingdings font on this page, so that’s why it looks like three “U”s.

Try Unicode characters, next time. I'm pretty sure there's some stars in that, and Unicode seems to display just fine in LJ.

I think you mean a sucker, don't you? A stickler is someone who is very picky about details. ;)

At least, thank heavens, it's not another "reality" show.

Missed the first half of it, but some elements I did get to see reminded me of "Dinosaurs," especially the "blue collar, well-meaning buffoon dad" and "wise lovable mom." Hmmm... swap the granddad for the grandmother dinosaur and we're getting even closer!

Well I kind of like "blue collar" stuff... *sad*

[kheetor84.livejournal.com]

my favorite line was:

Mr Right: " Look, tonight she's going to put me in a sailor's outfit so could you just put me out of my misery and eat me?"

Larry: "I usually would but domestic cats give me acid reflux."

It's all right, but only every sitcom since 1984 has had it...

I bet you're relishing having a reason to pull out that awesome icon. ;D

[kheetor84.livejournal.com]

Huh. Maybe that is why I like blue-collar. I was born in 1984. XD

I missed the whole show :(

[tiger-claw.livejournal.com]

Was unable to watch "Father of the Pride."
Was that a good thing or bad thing cuz from the comments I've read about it, the show isn't all that.

Anyway, will NBC show the 1st episode again anytime this week?

I hope they keep it, because some of those moments were just fun-ny, baby.

There's potential under the executive glare, but it needs some serious fine-tuning.

Alas, that's not reason enough. :)

Oh dook... I missed it. Eh. Not that is suprising considering I don't watch TV at night.

Well, this was the first episode. They hinted and many, many other storylines.

Yes, it is a rehash of other sitcoms...but what current sitcom isn't?

Plus they did have a bar called "The Watering Hole"... hehe...

So if every sitcom jumped the shark, does that mean you would too, young man???

I...have no clue what you mean.
