ladro 1168 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 06-16-04, 11:23 PM (EST) "Anyone else disappointed in the first episode?" I was looking forward to this show big time. But I found myself chaning channels during the commercials, and not caring much if I missed a minute or two here or there. I am going to continue to watch, but I watched each episode of JS1 at least twice, that isn't going to happen with JS2. I can't quite put my finger on why I don't find this show as interesting. Some possiblities that i came up with: 1. Two Schmoes (rather than one) dillutes the story line too much. Such a large percentage of the show was focused on the Schmoes' reactions and comments that feel that I barely know most of the actors. 2. The acting isn't as good as in JS1. 3. Ingrid (and possibly Tim) is just too smart and critically thinking to not see the contradictions and loose threads in the show. 4. Playing a practical joke on a woman just isn't as funny as playing a practical joke on a guy.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Maybe a little, but give it time. It's like starting a new book and we don't really know the characters yet. I do get the feeling that it may not be as raunchy/bawdy as the first one which would be a shame. I was hoping the drunk girl would stick around longer, she's like Kip and Hutch all rolled into one. I think the ones being axed will return though, just a hunch. Who did this? I'll pull your pants down... right now! - Kip   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The acting isn't as good as in JS1. There's a comment I would never have predicted Ladro, much less ever thought I would agree with. Of course now I do.

I'm really dissappointed. However, to be fair, I honestly think they hit the jackpot with Matt. I truly think he was one in a million and absolutely *made* the first show. He was the *perfect* nice/gullible guy and the 90% of the hilarity of that season was seeing his bulging eyes and honest attempts to mitigate awkward situations. I mean, they achieved comedy gold with their "talent show" and Matt's reaction to "Dr. Pat's" puppet performance. I literally was crying, I was laughing so hard. I give the producers kudos for *wanting* lightening to strike twice, but I don't think the ingredients are there.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Schmoron 18 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 06-23-04, 10:40 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Anyone else disappointed in the first episode?" Yep, I agree. There will never be another Matt, PERIOD! Hutch and Brian were also priceless. (I practically peeed myself during Matts dance) Matt had no "game", he was just himself, and that is what was so cool about him. The new show is funny in other ways, I just find myself having to look deeper. The cheesiness is funny, and the characters are also funny, but they seem to be more like actors then in the first Joe Schmo. In the first one, they all reacted WITH Matt to situations. In this new show, the Schmos seem to be the only ones laughing out loud at the cheesiness! The actors are taking it a bit too seroiusly, maybe. I mean, who could keep a straight face through all of this BUT an actor? It seems unnatural not to laugh at the corny stuff. I will still be glued to this though.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

There was comraderie in the first season that kept them all on the same "side" and it seems to be missing. I also think the genuine affection they all had for Matt was key. My husband, who never sat through an episode, was turned off because he *thought* they were all just making fun of this clueless shlub. I tried to explain that that's *not at all* what it was, but it's hard to understand that unless you watched it.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
