Raising Hope
« on: September 23, 2010, 08:19:44 AM »
New show on Fox, pilot was funny. 20 year old guy rescues girl from her boyfriend, who chases her down the street.. she sleeps with him, he finds out she's killed all her ex boyfriends... he turns her in, she ends up pregnant by him. She's electrocuted. He now has to raise the baby. Hijinx.

All the makings for a good dark comedy. Martha Plimpton was great as the kid's grandmother. Cloris Leachman is in this as well. From the guy who did My Name is Earl.

I laughed a lot, but I laughed a lot at Earl too.  It's pretty much Earl but with a kid.  This Garcia fella has a niche.  Although he did do that terrible show with that Mike guy.  You know.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

It was a terrible pilot for what is sure to be a terrible show that'll be cancelled after about 6 episodes.

What if it lasts exactly 6 episodes?  Who wins then?  Or do we all lose?
