New sitcom reviews: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

It’s been a month since the big waves of new TV shows came up and made us torn between work and binge-watching (at least for me). And sadly, I could say that most of those shows are really piece of crap, the one that’d make you yell “bring back my precious 30 minutes!” thing. Even when I’ve set myself to only watch couples of shows that I’ve cautiously considered to be worth-watching, I still found a big disappointment in my own choices.

As a comedy fan, it’s hurtful for me to say that we can’t expect much of laughter this year. From numerous new sitcoms of which cables and broadcast have brought up, only two shows that really meet up my expectation. They are ‘Brooklyn Nine Nine’ and ‘Hello Ladies’. Those two are shining and flying far above other contenders so far.

Anyhow, here’s my very own judgment on some new sitcoms after watching 2-3 first episodes.

Save the dates and turn on your TV!

September has come and it’s time for you to get ready for the new shows attack this Fall. With numerous freshmen shows announced, obviously it’s not an easy job to pick the good seeds from the terrible ones without wasting much your time. So, I’ll help make your life easier by giving you the list of the shows I thought have potentials based on the premise, cast, and of course, critics’ reviews.

The list below is comprised of the new shows from broadcast networks only. I’d try to give you the list from the cables as well in my next post. But, in the meantime, you could mark your calendar to make sure you wouldn’t miss some of the most anticipated new shows from the networks this Fall.

'Moone Boy': a delightful choice from Hulu

“Ever wanted to be the imaginary friend of an idiot boy in the west of Ireland? Me neither. But, there you go.”

Opened with a line like that, Hulu’s newest exclusive show ‘Moone Boy’ successfully brought a chuckle out of me. And thankfully, it only transformed into a great laughter along the show until the credits have rolled.

Another ‘The Wire’ alum lands on AMC’s zombie drama

Mother. Of. God.

I just feel fucking excited and pumped, I want to brag about this little detail on this blog.

I never told you before that among many series I watch, ‘The Walking Dead’ happens to be the one I love the most. I mean, really really love. It’s like my love for ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Arrested Development’ combined, then you got the same amount of love from me for this zombie’s series. Yeah, seriously. I’m not exaggerating.

So, earlier today, I watched ‘Walking Dead’ comic con trailer for season 4. And I couldn’t be more freakishly hysterical when I saw a long lost face from the legendary drug’s drama ‘The Wire’ on it. No, it wasn’t Chad L. Coleman whom we’ve already seen in some episodes on season 3. It was Lawrence fucking Gilliard Jr.!
