Gary Unmarried

Marmot: Is terrible.

Manatee: I was going to say harmless.

Marmot: That's true. It was halfway tolerable through most of it...but then Ed Begley, Jr. showed up.

Manatee: But it's Jay Mohr, how bad can it be?

Marmot: Did you see Jerry Maguire? It can be bad. Of course, Action! makes up for that.

Manatee: Did you not like the marriage therapist turned fiance story line, or you didn't like Ed Begley Jr. ie: you hate the environment?

Marmot: I just don't like Ed Begley, Jr. If not liking him makes me a hater of the environment, then so be it. I just thought the impromptu therapy session was so ridiculous. Especially after watching weeks and weeks of the brilliance that is In Treatment.

Manatee
:
Agreed on the therapy session. I'm not sure it's the best way to spend 30 minutes of my life, but I don't see it causing too much harm either. This is probably a show my mom watches.

Marmot: My mom likes Two and a Half Men, so I'm sure she'll like this. I actually kind of fell asleep during this. Why was the girl hiding under the boy's bed?

Manatee
:
I guess because they were probably kissing and the mom knocked on the locked door

Marmot
:
I don't like the mom. She's mean.

Manatee
:
True, but what about that daughter? Pretty realistic teenager huh?

Marmot
:
Don't all 12 year olds worship Al Gore?

Manatee
:
No.

Marmot: I did when I was that age.

Manatee
:
I liked NKotB.

Marmot: They're like Al Gore.

I had such low expectations, but some of the writing was actually pretty funny. I'm also a big fan of Jay Mohr's delivery. Too bad he's not able to write his own material. Then again, if that was allowed, it would be on HBO instead of CBS.
