13424532, Anyone watch The Rock’s new show?
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Feb-18-21 04:33 PM
Much better than I thought it would be and when they showed all the wrestlers I was all in. Those were my childhood heroes for a few years.

Dude has stories for days. I hope they keep jumping back to the same periods in his life because I know those wrestlers and his time at The U are gold for wild ass stories
13424537, definitely lifted my eyebrow when i saw the trailer

a concept that i would dismiss but the trailer does make it look interesting. i might check it out.

I want to support the brother....but man. That was some trash. Mainly seemed like bad acting. But just bad overall.

Ima give it another chance though.
13424578, I had high expectations for the Rock and Kenan

Both shows fell FLAT. I'll give them another shot, but neither got a real laugh out of me.

Young Rock was mildly compelling because I'm a rasslin' fan, and the show chronicles some periods I'm nostalgic about.

Kenan REALLY let me down. I was expecting something fresh, but got every sitcom trope in the book...Morning talk show host, dead wife, precocious kids, curmudgeon father-in-law, dopey assistant/friend...etc. I wanted Atlanta or South Side, but got Hello Larry.
13424579, You old. "Hello Larry"
Posted by handle, Fri Feb-19-21 12:05 AM
At least Hello Larry had Arnold and Willis on it for a cross over episode!

13424599, Wait you saw the trailer to Keenan and was expecting Atlanta?
Posted by Mafamaticks, Fri Feb-19-21 09:32 AM
13424606, Speaking of Atlanta - is season 3 still coming this year?
Posted by DJR, Fri Feb-19-21 10:41 AM
Anybody? I NEED that to come back.
13424707, lmao
Posted by legsdiamond, Sat Feb-20-21 07:42 AM
yeah, no wonder he was disappointed
13424586, why would you post jack with that terrible show? lol
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Feb-19-21 08:15 AM
I like the idea of Keenan, he has his moments but I don’t see how anyone expected that show to be good.

13424590, Bad acting, bad writing, bad direction...
Posted by soulfunk, Fri Feb-19-21 08:51 AM
Not sure how the show got greenlit.
13424615, Probably Lorne Michaels

13424711, The youngest girl(s) used to live next door to me
Posted by CIPHA, Sat Feb-20-21 10:15 AM
The younger one is played by twins on some Full House ish.

Anyway, their fam moved away when they got that gig, and I completely forgot until I started watching the show. Seemed like sweet kids and I wish them healthy success.

13426499, The show is pretty bad.
Posted by Marbles, Mon Mar-08-21 11:41 AM

I got a chuckle or 2 but it's not very good. that's too bad because I like Kenan. I'm gonna try to stick it out a little bit longer but my hopes aren't high.
13427694, it's growing on me

13424595, I think the Rock would make a good figure head President.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Fri Feb-19-21 09:18 AM
Like the type of President who just gets on TV and brings people together and leaves the policy stuff to professionals who share his vision, I could live with that.

If Reagan and GWb can be President, I think the Rock and Oprah could be too.

Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Feb-19-21 10:22 AM
We don’t need that at all

Reagan was awful
13424623, Its a popularity contest. Reagan was very popular.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Fri Feb-19-21 12:09 PM
Obama was a unicorn because he was an inexperienced celebrity candidate who was also a Harvard Train Lawyer.

13424666, Reagans popularity as an actor was before my time
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Feb-19-21 04:50 PM
so I have no idea how popular he was but the dude was trash.

I like the Rock but gotdammit the WH aint where he needs to be

Rock’s show looks like it will jump all over the place

13426497, i watched the first 3 episodes over the weekend
Posted by mista k5, Mon Mar-08-21 11:31 AM
its good enough. has me entertained. it feels like something you only want to watch for 10 minutes but you get sucked into the whole episode lol not sure ill keep up every week but ill watch some more episodes when i have nothing else to watch.
13426500, I agree with this.

It's not terrible but it's also not knocking my socks off. Having all the old school wrestlers is nice flashback for me. We'll probably keep watching this too.
