Not Terrible but not that Good


I'll give it 2 more episodes before I rate it. The first episode might lead to potential down the line. But it really wasn't that funny. Unless you're in to that weird, dark, cheesy humor.

After this last episode. Giving it a 5. Zach and Louie are entertaining enough for a 5 but the show really just doesn't click. I rarely laugh and the jokes simply don't hit. Probably the last episode I'll watch. Martha is terrible.

Is it possible that all you folks who are disappointed with Baskets have not yet suffered or experienced the hilarity of every day hum drum existence?
Every character, without exception, tells a full story of perseverance and grace even though the are stuck in the rut of existential angst.
This series is classic and treats those who would be otherwise portrayed as"losers" with the love and tenderness of a merciful artist.
And it is FUNNY.

But Baskets stupidity is gut wrenching and far from Funny. eg When he blew $900 on a tv for the French thing. Surely no one could be that stupid. There is tragic comedy and then there is this show.

I actually enjoyed the last episode a lot more. Louie Anderson getting more air time and kind of leading the show was funny. I can't wait til she confronts his wife.

Oh, you will? Cool, we are all so excited to hear your reviews and also we were wondering how many episodes you would give it. All of us were talking about it before. Thanks for letting everyone know that you will be reviewing it. Can I give you my email so you can tell me directly? It's who cares at no one dot shut up.

Well this is a forum about a tv show and discussing it. Not sure what you're expecting. I remember my first time using the Internet.

reply

Yeah I remember my first time too, in 1994.

You seem like an awfully hostile person over a tv show, haha. #trollharder

I have a huge sense of humor (I usually like Zach) so I gave it a go... watched the 2 first episodes rated it 4... and I'm a generous man.
