I haven’t watched these shows, but they seem like examples of series with good concepts, but bad writing in general. Lots of movies and shows are exactly like that. They’re so focused on the “Ooh look, aliens!” and the “Holy shit, apocalypse!” that they forget to put characters in. So they end up with a bunch of generic, seemingly dumb, filler characters.

Then the characters are so dumb, that any attempt to advance the story just look like sad attempts to hold onto the viewers.

I’ve also seen shows where an actor will seem completely bored and uninspired, because of the lame material they have to work with. Actors that may do well on one show, but not so well on another.

Do you feel like each episode can seem slow moving, but by the end of the season, you feel as though much has happened? Have I said this already?

Anyway, you have to give kudos to the Odenkirk scene where they discussed how to procure the car wash.

And now in the more recent episodes, events are occurring! Happy? Pappy?

Hi Chris,
Good to see you back on the internet again. Are you still temping or are you employed on a permanent basis somewhere?

Good to see Nondrick back too!

Best wishes

O B
