S03.E03: A Rock and a Hard Place Walk Into a Bar


Recommended Posts

I loved that joke. 

 

Personally, I am really loving the mix of storytelling and incorporation of the liveness and live audience of it all.  I know that might not be everyone's presence but it feels...well alive.  For instance, one of my favorite jokes of the night occurred when Candace was telling Danny that she did like him for him.  The audience kind of "awwed" for a bit and Chris (as Danny) turned to them and gave them a scathing glance.

 

Where it works a little less, I feel, is when it tries to engage those of us at home as they did with Shelly's "catch phrase."

Shelley's bits at the start of the episode talking about the "security feed" and the shots at NBC were pretty good.  Even the bit about how the audience members should tell some friends was definitely about last week's so-so ratings.

I admit it -- I think I'm watching less for the story/plots and more because I love the interplay among the actors. 

Likewise.  Although "love" would not be the right word for me; more like, "along with looking for apparent deviations from the script, it's interesting to see what they're doing to take advantage of the fact that it's live".

 

That said, it's all about the ratings - if being live is increasing the number of viewers, I'm sure TPTB don't really care why they're tuning in.

I am LOVING the live aspect of this show and how much the cast and crew have come to embrace it. There really is nothing like it on TV right now--it's a shame it's on Fridays at 8 PM (like Shelley says).

 

They do a good job of breaking the 4th wall but still telling a story. 

 

I was dying when Danny was "crying." These guys are pros.
