Anyone catch the first ep of this? About a 3rd of the way in and it's pretty funny.

Not bad. Solid use of 22 minutes of my life. Portia de Rossi looked like hell though.

I'm not sure how to interpret this. Was it to point out she can much look worse, cause a naked ellen with anything makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

It was good, but parts of it seemed like the writers were trying a little too hard. The whole "freeze Phil" thing was pretty stupid. But I like the dynamics between the characters, and the sadistic scientist is hilarious. Definitely has potential.

I liked the 2 scientists, pretty funny dynamic between them.

Portia De Rossi's character was pretty funny. Not sure it can stay interesting but her delivery was really good.

I caught the second half and it seemed to have some potential. Will check it out again.

Caliane · 03-19-2009, 12:13 PM

Agreed.
This show made me chuckle more then a few times.

Out of the comedies we've had come out in recent years, I thought this was pretty solid. That's saying a lot since most pilots are usually pretty crappy due to the requirement of setting up the plot and establishing a lot of the characters. I'll definitely watch it again.

Even with the Ellen baggage i still find Portia incredible attractive. Also the other blonde girl is great to look at as well.
They are being original with the story lines and i love their fake commercials during the show

I actually think the over the topness of the freezing was awesome. Veridian Dynamics gives me an Aperture Science feel that I love. Need to get Phil and Lem working on an AI.

Dynalisia · 04-07-2009, 03:33 PM

Both Portia and the chick from Joey look great, what the hell are you talking about?

I completely agree with the aperture science feel, as far as the trailer goes at least, so I'm getting me some of this right now.

Edit: This show's a keeper.

Oh and Portia de Rossi is even more attractive now than she was in Ally McBeal.

Ep 4 is awesome. Operation White Shadow
