An Exercise In Nonsense

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It's no bad thing for your new sit-com to be compared to Seinfeld nor to openly admit that show provided much inspiration; it would be a little like Slash saying that with his first guitar he never strummed along to a Beatles song. But as far as any fair comparison between Mulaney and Seinfeld goes it starts at sit- but gets nowhere near the com.I've tried hard to like it I really have but I can barely believe central conceit that the three main characters even share the same apartment which looks like a set devised simply for the three of them to pass through while exchanging gags while never sitting down.This brings me to the actors. I just don't get John Mulaney at all, he's just so wooden. Nasim Pedrad and Seaton Smith are also severely lacking in acting chops and have a hard time selling a gag: when Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David hired Alexander,Dreyfuss and Richards that day their god was smiling upon them all. And so to the script which is pretty poor so have some sympathy with the cast.The only thing that has kept me watching is to see the class of Martin Short and Elliot Gould. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Martin Short was given pretty much free rein for his segments.How To Be a Gentleman was funnier than this and that wasn't re- commissioned.(Was it pulled after three shows?) Mulaney hasn't got a cat in hell's chance without bring in major writing talent.

I've watched John Mulaney's stand up and seen him on quite a few talks shows. I found his stand up quite funny, and he seems like a great guy, so I was interested in seeing what his show was like. During his stand up bit at the beginning of the first episode I was thinking to myself "This show is going to be great". Then the show began. I just can't their using a live audience. If you like shows with live audience you might be able to get into this. I can't stand live audiences and can't believe that any comedy to come out since the early 2000s still uses them. I was really hoping this show was going to have a very real and down-to-earth feel to it like Louis. But instead I got a really cheesy cookie cutter sit-com that reminds me of 90% of the other sit-coms with laugh tracks. The laugh track (or live audience) isn't the only problem I have though, the acting seems forced to me and the situations unrealistic. Anyone who's a fan of realistic comedy without Laugh tracks and cheesy little gimmicks, I recommend staying away from this show.I don't want to give this a rating because it might just have to do with me not liking laugh tracks.

first mulaney have 2 roommates which Jerry doesn't and there is no 2 black men in Seinfeld thats a point for mulaney and Jane had a boyfriend at the pilot Elane dated jerry thats another point for mulaney , mulaney has great cast Elliot Gould and martin short are the funniest men ever and mulaney doesn't have a tall idiot YET and no bold man either and there was a tension between the cast of Seinfeld during the first few seasons which didn't get acclaimed at first just like mulaney despite mulaney cast has a chemistry a weird one a funny one and all of the haters you all judged mulaney based on the pilot my suggestion is to wait until the 12th episode the say : GOOD OR BAD NOTHING MORE , mulaney isn't dads the last unlaughable FOX series which actually got 24 episode so please don't judge mulaney on the pilot and other point for mulaney they have a lot of funny comedians so wait and lets see what happened :D

Seems to me like your typical garbage show on fox but this actually has potential. I love John Mulaney's stand-up and like Seinfeld this show opens and closes with bits from his stand up. Sadly though they had to cut out or reword certain bits because it was "inappropriate" for cable which shocks me that the word rape is inappropriate for cable yet people can say Sh!t (been done in other shows not this one). Anyway the show at times acts out scenes from his more popular stand-up moments which is an interesting take on his stand-up. If you know the jokes then obviously the scenario will be predictable but never the less funny. If you don't know them then you might be confused a little. My main concern with the show is the annoying female character who is crazy and continually stalks/harasses/obsesses over her ex while at the same time freaks out/understand why people think that she's crazy and also flaunts her sexuality to get what she wants (usually info on the ex bf). She needs to go as she is in no way funny and only serves as an annoying distraction from the show's plot. Kill her off, make her move, just delete her from existence, whatever; with her gone better humor can be inserted into the show. I understand the rule that you need to have a female character in the show (we all remember what the pilot episode of Seinfeld was like) but here's a tip fox, pick a character people will relate to, like, and find funny. Guys won't like her because she's annoying/crazy, women will find her to be a poor and possibly offensive representation of an ex girlfriend, and the crazy chicks that she does personify will hate her the most because she reminds them that people find them crazy. Replace her and the show will have a chance to keep a first season going.
