The pilot was pretty uninspiring to be honest.. the main character just seems like an unlikeable *******, the love interest is the stereotypical "independent free-thinker" whom he wants to win over, and the supporting cast is pretty boring (except Chevy Chase who is fine). There was only one laugh out loud funny part in the whole episode I'd say.. the part where Abed is like.. "what's going on? Are you all talking? am I deaf?" :p Otherwise, this gets a big "MEH" from me.

Whats the show really about? Is it a comedy?

Yep comedy. Dark or Dry is the way it would be described with the humor.

The main dude was a laywer but was disbarred, so he has to go back to Community college. Pretty much as simple as that.

Was not a huge fan. Chevy Chase fumbling around with the Hot Dog was sad to me as it was just not funny. He used to be so damn funny and now I feel like he is a shell of what used to be. Just felt bad for him. Other than that I like Joel McHale, The Soup is one of the best and witty shows on TV, I am just not sure this is good writing. Seems to want to be serious but then go for really low brow humor, so I don't know. Will give it one more shot but they have already begun to lose me.

Definitely agreed and I was hoping he would make a smooth transition. This show really needs to define what it wants to be but trying to figure that out from the pilot isn't always easy.

That deaf part near the end was pretty funny though like dt mentioned. :p

Did anybody watch this week's episode? If you haven't gotten a chance, watch it NOW. I agreed with the general consensus that the pilot was a little weak, but I was hopeful seeing as Joel McHale is a very funny guy. Well this week's episode stepped it up... I was laughing harder than I've laughed at any show in a long time (Y)

I really enjoy this show. The first few episodes were a bit strange I think the chemistry between the actors wasn't quite there yet but tonights episode felt more natural and I can see it being a series to watch. Although I do wonder how long a series like this can go on as you'd have to imagine them leaving college by Season 3.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
