I didn't care for the season premiere, but I've noticed lately the premieres and finales haven't been very good for the past 3 yrs. Did anyone see it? Anyone watching it? (it's on FXX on Thursday nights).
Watched episode 2 and 3.
Two; The water park one was surprisingly boring; Frank pretending he had aids to get him and Charlie to the head of the cue is already a pretty boring joke when you remember that characters have already done exactly that with both aids and cancer before, but they even attempt to do anything else with it other than Aids water at the end which was obviously coming and didn't really work. It was funny seeing Danny Devito go down that slide though since he is so small and he really did go down it. Mac and Dee's subplot i don't understand at all; i mean i can't think of a single thing that was honestly supposed to be funny there: kids peeing on them lol. Yeah, terrible subplot imo. I liked Dennis and the kids though. It was obviously going to end with her robbing Dennis, there was some laughs and i thought they had good chemistry despite the fact that it would've made much more sense as a Mac or Charlie plot since Dennis even though he's not in a better position than them, looks down upon stuff like stealing usually. It was an alright episode just surprisingly boring for what it was.
Old Lady House: A Situation Comedy was pretty hysterical at times then at times it just wasn't at all. I loved the concept and for the most part i think they pulled it off; the best thing was definitely the idea that Charlie's mom was the star and how dramatic she acted because she is always like that anyway. It just ended up too cluttered which was clearly deliberate though; with Dee, pedo-uncle, Frank, Mac, etc, getting involved it just got a bit boring at the end. And there's never been a funny Mac's Mum joke i don't think. There's been some hilarious Charlie's Mom ones like when she reveals her OCD steps to prevent his death and Charlie instantly takes them up out of fear; i know one of the jokes in the episode which it blatantly tells you is that Mac's mom is one-note but when a good portion of the episode is devoted to Mac's mom jokes i couldn't care less that they are telling me they realize these aren't funny; i'd rather they make funny jokes than go super meta and think i'll find the idea that they realize i don't find it funny funny haha.
. There's something amazing about that being an actual touching moment in its own twisted way when you consider what it was about which was amazing. Charlie's song how much he missed every obvious part was the best too. Dennis trying to keep everyone in check and run the bar properly was an interesting avenue to go down, it reminded me of Season 1 Dennis who was always a bit more responsible than the rest who was rarely as dumb as them before he became just as nuts. His big ending again was actually touching in a twisted It's Always Sunny way.
