thuganomics85 September 13, 2016 Share September 13, 2016 It had some moments, but it didn't fully work for me. Then again, it usually takes me a while to really get into sitcoms (I even remember finding the pilot for Brooklyn Nine-Nine meh, and that has become one of my favorite shows ever), so it might improve. But it will likely just be a show I catch On Demand when I have time, and isn't must-see. I know Jason Sudeikis has been getting a mixed response from places I've read, but I kind of got a kick out of his performance. At times, I did feel like he was doing his own version of Sterling Archer though. Both characters have a lot of similarities, even though they look different on the surface. Honestly, my favorite parts were probably the stuff with Craig. Tim Meadows his hilarious. Hope we get more of Nancy/the waitress, since she was Ellen Wong, and I'm all for her getting more work after her awesome Knives on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (she is currently on SyFy's Dark Matter too.) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/47441-son-of-zorn-general-discussion/#findComment-2562289

iMonrey September 27, 2016 Share September 27, 2016 I agree - it might work a lot better if Zorn were not animated. I'm thinking of the movie "Enchanted," for example, where an animated character comes "to life" in the real world and is personified by a real life actor instead of a drawing. If they had an actual actor playing Zorn walking around in that costume it would be so much more absurd and possibly a lot funnier.
