Miss/Guided, Season 1 - Pilot
Manatee: Miss Guided... Your thoughts Marmot?
Marmot: I thought it was funny. Judy Greer is amazing in everything she does, so it's not surprising. The supporting cast is so-so.
Manatee: I'm a big fan of Chris Parnell too (SNL). He was funny on the show, but I thought under used
Marmot: Chris Parnell is always a little over the top for me. If he dialed it back about 10%, he'd be much better.
Manatee: At first I was a little nervous about Judy Greer. The character seemed a little too silly for me. I found myself asking, "Does she even have a degree to be doing this?" She was dancing and over the top, but I liked it by the end. She was cute, and endearing, basically everything that Tim said she was.
Marmot: I'm curious to see where it goes. There was a lot going on in this first episode, so I'm not really sure how everything is going to pan out. Like the Brooke Burns character. Overall, I thought it was pretty well written, except for one thing.
Manatee: What was that?
Marmot: The interviews. I don't get what they're supposed to be. On The Office, they're motivated; there's a documentary crew there with them. But these aren't clear. Why are they talking into the camera? Who are they talking to? Do the extras notice?
Manatee: I was not a fan of that either. If it was only the main character, I'd get it, but almost all the characters had a little speech. Show don't tell.
Marmot: This is the exact opposite of that. It's just a gimmick, and it's not one used to great effect here. I'm curious to see if they're going to phase it out.
Manatee: I was thinking that. Maybe it was a pilot thing, and they will get rid of it in the next few weeks.
Marmot: Or tomorrow… when they air 2 more.
Manatee: All the networks seem to be burning up their mid Season episodes. I liked the actor you played Tim (Kristoffer Polaha) - reminds me of Mark Ruffalo.
Marmot: Like a middle-class man's Mark Ruffalo.
Manatee: What did you think of that quick cut to the Spanish speaking janitor?!
Marmot: The funniest shot of the whole show. That was probably the funniest moment. That and the kid asking to touch her boob in the bushes.
