Perfect Couples (new NBC comedy)

[Guern1ca]

They have another sleeper hit on their hands or will it fall flat? Olivia Munn rocks but who knows how she'll be as an actress, The Waitress (http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/IASIP-it-27s-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-76090_594_387.jpg) is starring, one of the dudes is Gunther Wheeler (http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/238230.1020.A.jpg), and I recognize one of the other guys but I dunno where from.

Perfect Couples revolves around three unique couples at various stages in their relationships, yet who face similar problems. Vance and Amy are a couple who fights a lot and have a very active sex life. Rex and Leigh view themselves as relationship experts and therefore a "perfect couple", while Dave and Julia are considered the normal pair that everyone can relate to.

Looks interesting

[WakingTheMisery]

Will watch for Mary Elizabeth.

[TJ Wells]

Olivia Munn is not a good actress, and (in comparison to Haislip) she's not even the best host of AOTS. No thank you.

[Whalejaw]

Preview looks pretty bad.

You have an amazing avatar.

[drudo182]

Is this the series with Janice from FlashForward?

Nevermind, it is. She's hot. Show looks alright.

[Formatfun]

I'm gonna watch for Olivia Munn, even though I haven't watched Attack of the Show! since 2008.

I'll assume the third guy you can't figure out where he' s from... was in a WB series that didn't last season about sister in NYC and he's Bobby on My Boys!!!!

Ya, it is. And yes, she is, lol.

Nice. Was My Boys pretty good? I love Jim Gaffigan.

[phillipjacob]

looks like it might be good but wasnt there another show with the same basic premise on fox a few years ago

[alboneceleste]

Ya, it is. And yes, she is, lol.


Nice. Was My Boys pretty good? I love Jim Gaffigan.

It is good. It starts up again July 25th!!... but looking at that kids picture fo rGunther or whatever... looks like him.. so hmmm haha

[Guern1ca]

Gunter Wheeler man, he's from The Paper Brigade! It might have aired after your peek Disney Channel watching times, but it is a classic Disney Channel Original Movie. Soooo good. The guy I don't know from the preview is Olivia Munn's husband.

[Smash Adams]

He was also Ross Gellar's student and that really dumb guy from Orange County!

[drudo182]

I remember Kyle Howard from Orange County but I don't think I've seen him in anything else.

[MADSTA]

Holy shit, it's Dr. Rick.

[popdisaster00]

You guys are forgetting Kyle Howard's other breakthrough role (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116571/)

[NateFoundGlory]

Holy shit, it's Dr. Rick.

Thank god someone else noticed that. I love Fired Up!.

I think this could be good. However, on the flipside, it could also be terrible. So here's hoping.

[aoftbsten]

Looks pretty funny.

[IAmNietzche]

Nice, Janice.

[aradiantsunrise]

Saw a Mary Elizabeth when I opened this thread and instantly thought Mary Elizabeth Winstead was going to be on this show. So disappointed now. Show seems decent though.

It's "The Waitress" from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

[IAmNietzche]

There's something about Christine Woods, she's not super hot yet she's wildly attractive.

[aradiantsunrise]

It's "The Waitress" from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Don't remember her. The most I've seen of that show is honestly like two episodes, haha.

[CIMA]

I'm actually suprised to see the women from Flashforward in it. I know that show has been cancelled, but she would have filmed the pilot before the cancellation was announced.

I smell like lavender because I picked you some flowers.... then I made a special wish on them and threw them into the sky.

[drudo182]

They actually announced her in this series quite awhile ago. I figured she would get killed off on FF at some point or something.

[WakingTheMisery]

That and The Paper Brigade are fucking classic.

If these weren't tools for healing, I would crack you in the jaw.

[MADSTA]

10 1/2... 11 in crocs.

I could quote that movie aaaallll day. So underrated.

[*crying stars*]

I liked the preview enough. Also, did anyone else watch Kyle Howard in Gross Pointe? It was on WB for a hot minute. And after it was canceled I turned to Off Centre with John Cho... which also got canceled after one season.

Holy shit, it's Dr. Rick.

And it's Kurt 'The Ironman' Irons! Doesn't look like he's celebrating his weekiversary in this one. He also looks weird without a beard.

[MADSTA]

Oh man I knew I recognized him! Looks waaaay different without the facial hair.

[xerickx24]

I don't think its going to good. But i have hopes for it, i like the normal couple we'll see...

[drudo182]

Completely agree. Probably sounds weird but I really like how thick her hair always looks.

The review for this is not promising.

[deadkidsean]

The review for this is not promising.
Yeah, it has been getting pretty well trashed. Oh well. Olivia Munn is still hot, television show or not.

[ManicanParty49]

In the review for the new Parks and Rec, they said that Outsourced was supposed to fail...maybe this is the new show that is supposed to fail...considering that Outsourced, for some reason I can't seem to understand, is still on the air.

Here (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/tv/la-et-perfect-couples-20110120-22,0,4117275.story)'s a good review from the LA Times. Who knows. Time will tell.



I do want it to do well, though, mainly because one of my favorite comedians working today writes for the show. Super hilarious chick and maybe her style will be apparent a bit ... who knows.

[J.C.]

Love Munn.

Pretty sure this is going to crash and burn.

[spiffa0]

First ten minutes of this show is awful

[Trainsaw]

This show feels all over the place

[ManicanParty49]

First ten minutes of this show is awful

Agreed...I'll give it two more episodes...and then I'm dumping this show.

[spiffa0]

The wives are too hot for the guys.

[J.C.]

This show feels all over the place

Yup.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

The Waitress is the only thing I've found funny so far.

[deadkidsean]

I like it so far. Not really laughing out loud, but it isn't bad. Olivia Munn is so hot man.

[wall e]

It wasn't funny so I muted it

[xapplexpiex]

I don't like it.
But I think their target audience is for married couples to watch this together and laugh cause they compare themselves to them. So, yeah.

[J.C.]

The wives are too hot for the guys.

So it's like 90% of the shows on television.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Nothing more than an excuse to kill a half hour, from the looks of it.

[ManicanParty49]

NBC is going downhill with the shows they are picking up...this and Outsourced...ugh.

[FigureItOut]

It wasn't funny so I muted it

Haha, same.

[Smash Adams]

Oh no the network that brought us Coupling and Joey will lose its stellar reputation

[spiffa0]

Wow. Could be the worst 30 minutes I've had in a long time

[deadkidsean]

This is not OUTSOURCED. Jesus.



Not horrible. I'll watch it again.

[aradiantsunrise]

Didn't think it was as bad as everyone's saying it is. Was okay, maybe it will get better.

[Trainsaw]

it's certainly not the worst show i've seen, but it's got problems. They seem like they try to fit wayyy to much stuff into one show they're over here then they're over there it's just a mess. On top of that I really didn't find any of the characters like-able, except maybe the guy in the "UConn couple". Nothing that can't be developed and worked on, but right now it's definitely a zoning out bridge between community and the office

[ManicanParty49]

Oh no the network that brought us Coupling and Joey will lose its stellar reputation

Haha, well played.

I just hate that Outsourced and now this are tarnishing my thursday night comedies.

[danielineffigy]

It wasn't funny so I muted it

Haha, same.
Hey, me three!

That shit sucked. 30 minutes of yelling.

[lovely864md]

Meh. They aren't going to get the audience they're going for with Community as a lead-in.

[wall e]

Never judge a show completely on it's pilot. Some of the funniest shows have had completely awful pilots (It's Always Sunny, imo)

[Trainsaw]

It's Always Sunny's pilot was hilarious, to each their own

[irthesteve]

I have interest in the cast (Waitress, Paper Brigade, Dr. Rick, Olivia Munn, good lord!), but the previews look pretty bad. If it makes it through a full season I might check it out

[irthesteve]

It's Always Sunny's pilot was hilarious, to each their own
I'm with you

[deadkidsean]

Meh. They aren't going to get the audience they're going for with Community as a lead-in.

No one watches Community.


The general public, that is.

[Indoor Living]

Thought it was fine. Had a few really funny moments. I'll give it 3-5 eps to grow a little more. The writing'll get better.

[greenteaallday]

First couple episodes of It's Always Sunny were Meh.

[J.C.]

Every new series needs a period to get settled in. That was an absolutely brutal 30 minutes of television though. Just miserably written. Had zero connection with any of the characters. I'm not even sure I remember a single one of their names.

[meeotch]

Agreed. I still enjoyed it though. Definitely giving it a chance.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I remember a "Vance", and only because names like that stand out to me.

[WTG]

It wasn't as bad as people in here are saying. I laughed a few times...that said, if it doesn't improve, I won't stick with it. For a Modern Family knock off, it's definitely better than that shit show "better with you".

[CubbyNick42]

A better name would be "30 minutes to scan Twitter until The Office comes on."

[brenByah]

I was definitely disappointed, but there were a few jokes that worked for me. It's only the first episode, I'll give it another shot.

[hello299]

Had some funny one-liners, but the pilot was too jumbled. Overall mildly enjoyable and will continue to watch.

[prefix-core]

This show could have used a laugh track.

[WTG]

No show should ever use a laugh track.


I didn't like the second episode. They made the "perfect couple" just too unlikeable. There's a limit to how annoying you should make someone to keep viewers.

[irthesteve]

I went on a bender today and watched the first 3 episodes. Not great by any means, I laughed out loud probably twice, but it was fun and simple.

Waitress totally plays a semi-Sweet Dee character, and I don't really hate any of the others either.

[WTG]

The last episode was better than the previous ones. Not great, but had funny moments.

[hello299]

Show is getting better and better each week. I bet it will be picked up for a full season.

[irthesteve]

I'm disappointed Kyle Howard had to drop out

[MADSTA]

I tried watching this and just couldn't. Pretty bad.

[WTG]

The last two episodes have been hilarious. Too bad the damage is done and it will probably be canceled.

[irthesteve]

Yea... only 3 mill are tuning in each week, not too many

[WTG]

The first few episodes were terrible. The last two were very funny.

[brenByah]

I don't think the show's great, but it gets more hate than it deserves. There's always a few moments each episode that are pretty funny.

[Forever.Zero]

I actually like this show :shrug:

[irthesteve]

why do i still watch this? haha... i do like it though

[jwicklun]

http://collider.com/perfect-couples-canceled-the-paul-reiser-show-premieres/81873/
CANCELLED.

[brenByah]

Wow. I didn't care much for the show, but certainly thought it'd last a bit longer.

[irthesteve]

Well, might as well watch the two remaining episodes I already have downloaded.

[bobcatbob18]

The cancellation news is a bit of a bummer. I think this show has some good lines per episode and the character of Rex KILLS me.

[aradiantsunrise]

How did this get cancelled before Outsourced?

[irthesteve]

How did this get cancelled before Outsourced?
Seriously.... it's sad. Not that this one is amazing, but it's lightyears better than that pile

[SlappedActor]

At first I was pissed that it got cancelled because the show gave me time to go pick up a pizza in between Community and the Office. But then I saw they're replacing it with the Paul Reiser Show, so it looks like I'll still have plenty of time.

[christopher™]

tonights episode wasn't too bad..

[ActorInThisPlay]

I actually enjoyed this show. Sad that it's already canceled.
