Tv Show Pilot Reviews

Tv-Show Pilot Review's Week 11

Ok I've had a little time, so I decided to take a peek at some of the pilots of the new comedy shows out there, and I've decided to give you guys a little review of what I thought of these shows.
So I hope you enjoy.



The show "Mike and Molly" is about the obese police officer Mike, and the voluptious teacher Molly, who meet at a weight-loss support group. And here start the awkwardness of Mike trying to ask Molly out for a date.

I know the review of that one wasn't very long, but really that's all I needed to say. This is a funny show, and I'm looking forward to enjoying the next episode. "Mike and Molly" is a sweet show, but also funny, and it doesn't feel like its a rip off of some other sit-com. It's got a nice new story to it.
So I definately want to reccomend this show.

In the pilot of "The Big C" we join Cathy, played by Laura Linney (Congo, Love Actually). Cathy is diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, and decides it's about time she starts to live the life she has left. So she cashes out her retirement plan, buys a new car, and starts to stirr up the town, leaving her manchild of a husband, mollycoddled son and eco crazy brother wondering what in the world is going on.

In my opinion this show is a big yawn and a half, and I would only watch it if there was honestly nothing else on tv to watch. I feel the "good wife and mother, going crazy and doing a sorta mid-life crisis" thing is so used up. Different backstory, but the same stuff over and over. I found the most amusing part of the pilot to be when she steals a live lobster from a restaurant and lets it go into a salt water pool. I can only hope, for the people watching this show, that it gets better in the next few episodes cause or else it probably wont be coming out with a season 2.

In the show "Melissa and Joey", we meet up with Melissa Joan Hart who we all know and love from "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" In the show Melissa is a big time business woman with less then any time for a personal life, and when she is handed the responsibility or taking care of her teenage niece and nephew, it gets a little to much for her.

I feel this show is pretty boring in itself. It's sort of the typical, girl meets really annoying guy, but guy helps girl out, girl keeps on being oblivious but then in the end, girl falls for boy... At least thats how I see this show playing out. In my oppinion, Melissa Joan Hart should've gotten out of the comedy business, as she kinda just looks like Sabrina got old... I don't see her pulling it off..

"Better With You" is a series about sisters Mia and Maddie, and how different sisters can be. Maddie, played by Jennifer Finnigan (Close to Home), is a perfectionist. She has been together with boyfriend Ben for 9 years, without any plans of getting married, because things take time, and in Maddies world, it takes a lot of time. Mia, played by Joanna Garcia-Swisher (Reba, Gossip Girl) is the complete oposite of her sister. Only 7 weeks after meeting boyfriend Casey, we discover that not only are they getting married, but also expecting a baby.

Ok, so "Better With you" is a show who takes things to a bit of an extreme, but I think it works. Maddie is the responsible one who over thinks everything by a mile, while Mia is a spontanious wild child. Together they make a funny chaos that I rather enjoy watching. But I do have to say that the show in some ways reminds me of "What I Like About You" with Jennie Garth and Amanda Bynes.
Mia's boyfriend Casey is my favorite in this show. He has about the same IQ as a wet towel, and definately has the best lines in this show. I guess it's something about watching other people be stupid that makes me feel superior.
