dave-O Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 WTF was this shit?Anybody else catch this show last night? I lasted about 5 minutes. Seems like a premise that might have worked in 1985. Just because celebrities are laughing doesn’t mean anything is funny. Woof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishtaper Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 i surfed past about five minutes of it too. seinfeld and tina fey both looked very uncomfortable, almost embarrased. the cut-away editing for facial reactions was really awkward as well.

Im going home Donny Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ya that was a bit odd eh? The ref guy made me feel realy weird. That second couple did make me laugh pretty hard though. The Romos-Romanos or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 It is ill-conceived and painfully executed. Awful.It will probably be a huge hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Agreed. I thought it was aweful.Does Jerry Seinfeld think he's Bill Cosby now or something? It's a little too squeaky cean for my entertainment tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ha! You suckers still watch prime-time TV. I gave up on that shit years ago (except hockey)Ha! I'm with you Roller. In the last few years, prime-time TV has gone straight down the shit-catcher. If it weren't for sports, movies, The Sarah Silverman Show, and re-runs of Seinfeld, I'd have nothing to watch weeknights 7-10pm. Sundays are a different story though with the cartoon lineup on Fox.

jaybone Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 That sucked pretty damn hard. I fell asleep after 5 minutes, but it looked brutal.As far as prime time goes, Modern Family is the best new sit-com I've seen in years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Seriously, this was beyond garbage. I can't believe it made it through any kind of development or pre-production, they rushed this piece of shit straight to air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 we are talking about it though. no doubt a lot of other people are talking about it too. maybe thats the objective. just feed us shit. we'll all say yuck but end up eating some of it eventually. most just briefly but others will crave loads.

Can't really debate that. They won't get another 5 minutes from me, but you're probably right about the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 The only bit of this show i've seen is the following clip with Ricky Gervais:You have to admit, a panel of Larry David, Madonna and Ricky Gervais on a show called 'The Marriage Ref' (Thu., 10PM ET on NBC) is definitely one of the stranger pop culture phenoms at the moment. Gervais agrees, noting, "I feel like someone's put crack in my drank! What is going on? This is the weirdest show I've ever been on." Ever quick to respond, host Tom Papa shoots back, "Oh, and like every show you're on is sooooo normal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Do I look around at these posts to feel better than people, sorry for people, or different than people?If anything, the marriage ref's impact on me - even having never watched it (purposely) is probably bigger than I'd ever imagined.Thanks, Skanks.

Guest Low Roller Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 That's actually a pretty funny clip. Ricky Gervais just has a total "WHAT THE FUCK!?" moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 As usual I completely disagree with you haters. I totally understand the everyman quality that Tom Papa has- his standup has been quite consistently good over the years and his stints in films like The Informant are pronounced- and why Jerry Seinfeld as a producer would want to bring him into people's living rooms. It's a strong premise for a show- you're fucking kidding me right? You think that it doesn't make for good television when Larry fucking David, Madonna (in a rare unguarded mode) and Ricky Gervais shoot from the hip about how fucked up it is that some wife keeps her dead ex-husbands prosthetic leg (with an athletic sock still on) in the closet. It's not that all your criticisms aren't valid it just happens also to be quite good television, full of water cooler moments that rarely happen in network these days, and only someone of Jerry's clout could pull these people together. Fuck I left out Alec Baldwin in a previous episode talking about how inappropriate it was to have a stripper pole in the bedroom (then making the pinocchio nose gesture). Priceless.Basically it could and is so much worse that oddly this seems like a grim speck on an already grim horizon, the unexpected beneficiary of the law of diminished expectations.

bouche Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 The only bit of this show i've seen is the following clip with Ricky Gervais:now I need to see this episode. ricky and larry david on the same program? Ricky makes me laugh hard.Ever see Ricky Gervais Meets Larry David? It was a fantastic interview on BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
