703056, The Grinder: add this to your DVR, people.

Great absurd sitcom premise, perfect actors for the roles, sharp writing. Loved the pilot. Can't wait for the next one.

703075, It was ok but it wasn't super great

It took a while to get to the point, like most pilots it was kinda disjointed in the opening, but once it go to the premise of the show it was better.
I'm going to give it time, but if they keep Rob Lowe up with the L&O court antics it's gonna be great. I'm not very keen on Fred Savage, but I'll give him a chance.

703076, It was pretty funny

I kind of feel like there's a pretty finite set of jokes here, but I don't write awesome sitcoms for a living so I'll just wait and trust the experts.

703144, And it's only 30 minutes
Posted by handle, Sun Oct-04-15 11:03 PM
Didn't realize it was 30 minutes.
It was okay - I could see it getting real good if they do it right.

703247, Episode 2. Still funny. Still loads of potential.

I'm hoping this keeps enough of its premiere audience to get renewed, so we can see what these writers have in store.
|
703255, Ok I'm with Frank on this one now, this show is great
Posted by JiggysMyDayJob, Wed Oct-07-15 10:06 AM
Lowe's character drives the show so much, and I'm even warming up to Fred Savage's acting.

The trial at the end of episode 1 was great TV.

710905, WHY ARE YOU NOT WATCHING THIS SHOW?
Posted by Frank Longo, Fri Apr-15-16 11:50 PM
Consistently hilarious. Very much on the bubble of cancellation. DON'T BE THE ONE WHO GOT THIS AWESOME AND FUNNY SHOW YANKED.
|
710943, the premise irks me
Posted by Calico, Mon Apr-18-16 10:40 AM
...I watched a couple episodes, til I realized this dude seems legit insane and they all just roll with it, even the dad....I couldn't suspend logic long enough to keep watching....
|
710951, funny but it feels like an extended skit sometimes
Posted by sndesai1, Mon Apr-18-16 03:02 PM
i've only watched the first 5 eps so maybe it changes down the line

711999, Grinder rests.

Fox cancelled the show. Part of me is bummed because it's one of my favorite comedies on TV but part of me wonders if they could have kept it up for another season. The gimmick was wearing a bit thin.
That being said, Fred Savage should give acting another try and not go straight back into directing. He's awesome in this.
|
712000, easily one of my favorite shows but im not mad either nm
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Thu May-12-16 07:27 PM

712009, I stayed loving the gimmick. Really sad to see it go.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu May-12-16 11:25 PM
Every time I started thinking, "Well, this might be where it stops being funny," they'd split my sides again.
And yes, Savage was absolutely fantastic. Everybody was. Terrific cast, terrific writing.
|
712011, i ended up liking it but i'm kinda ok with it just having one season
Posted by sndesai1, Thu May-12-16 11:58 PM
didn't really think it was as clever or smart as critics seemed to..i will say rob lowe was pretty amazing hamming it up like that

RIP Grinder.
