Meth and Red

[edog20716]

Is any one planning on watching Meth and Red on Fox? I've seen a few commercials for it and it looks like it will be cool

I'm gonna watch it



Edit: No images please, especially when the image has nothing to do with the post.

I've been hearing the "ironic" radio promos for the show...where the announcer is trying to introduce the series, and someone keeps telling him he's not doing it right. He says stuff like "fo-shizzle nizzle" or whatever, and the person keeps telling him not to go there, as he's using all tired cliches or something. Then, when we finally get to a sound clip for the show, one of the title characters says something in ebonics, to which an assumed upper-class woman replies "...I have no idea what that means!" LOLOLOL...not. If that one sound clip represents the general humor of the show, I hope it doesn't last. Either way, I won't be watching. It looks pretty lame, IMO.

I'll be watching, and hoping it's better than their movie How High.

Can we at least give it a chance to premiere its first episode??

The NY Daily News gave it a decent review. Well they gave it 2 stars (out of 4), but they didn't savagely attack it the way I would have thought. Who knows, maybe it will catch on. Martin ran 5 years and this show would be aimed at a similar type of audience. The only problem is Fox's unorthodox programming strategy which might eat into its ratings. Then again, it might help this become a hit since its on against reruns.

It wasn't Bianculli though, it was Hinckley who reviewed it. Much as I disagree with some of Bianculli's previous reviews, I respect his critical assessments more than Hinckley's. But I'd assume Bianculli wouldn't like it anyway.

I never paid much notice of who is reviewing what. I tend to think that these reviews don't mean anything at all in terms of whether or not a show is successful. Ultimately the decision is made by the Neilsen families or the Peoplemeter families.

For me the reviews only serve to make me conscious of some shows' existence. I can think of a lot of shows I like or have liked that the critics hated and some others that i like that they liked too.

I'd like to know how many people get into shows based upon the reviews of the critics.

I say screw the critics. Espescially when you have critics like Bill O'reilly bashing them on his TV show. I know he's not a TV/movie critic, but he always seems to have something to say about music ,TV or the movies. I can make up my own mind
if the show isn't funny...CLICK.....if it is then I'm happy.

Judging by the Nielsen ratings, not many at all. Otherwise shows like Freaks and Geeks, Wonderfalls and Arrested Development would be hugely successful. I think those three shows were just about universally praised by critics.

What time does Meth & Red come on today? Method Man & Redman need to concentrate on making good albums instead of doing tv shows & movies together cause their music has been terrible the last few yrs. How High movie sucked. Method Man's new cd is horrible. Their tv show isn't gonna last long. I'm gonna give it a month or two.

It's funny how some of you guys seem so eager to see this show fail when you haven't even seen one episode. With that kind of attitude, y'all would never get jobs.

Vashti1999 nobody cares about your opinion. If i think the show is gonna suck, it's gonna suck. I don't care if i haven't seen one episode yet. Just from seeing the previews, i know it's gonna suck. I'm sick of black shows like this with rappers that can't act & the only reason why they're gettin a chance to have their own show is because of their music fans. Even their music fans don't wanna see them act. Hollywood people in charge at these tv networks & movie companies need to stop thinkin that if u put a rapper in a movie or tv show that their fans are gonna watch it cause u can't assume that they are gonna watch. Just cause i may like that person's music doesn't mean i wanna see them do movies & tv shows.

If you don't care about my opinion, don't respond to what I say. But tell me, what sense does it make for you to assume it'll suck and won't last, yet you ask what time it's going to be on? You know you'll be watching it regardless.
