Michael J. Fox vs. Robin Williams - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

icecream · 09-20-2013, 04:23 PM

Not only do these 2 TV icons have new sitcoms premiering next week, the premieres will be going head-to-head Thursday at 9:00. MJF will move a half hour later the next week so they won't be regular timeslot rivals. Which one will you watch live? I'll go with MJF since he'll be airing the whole hour.

Ugh, you should be able to choose the time the poll ends, I wanted it to close at 8:59PM.

robyrob · 09-20-2013, 05:11 PM

i'm curious about both shows, but I am going to record them and watch later - I'm really not thinking I am going to end up watching either one regularly.

Mr. Television · 09-20-2013, 06:13 PM

I'll DVR them and watch them later. I don't know if I'll like them or not. I'm guessing I'll like MJF more since I've liked just about everything he's ever been in. They don't look too funny though.

Sal · 09-20-2013, 08:21 PM

Not a problem for me. I'll be watching Michael's show on Wed. night and Robin Williams on Thursday. I expect both shows to be the biggest hits of the fall season.

I'm looking forward to both too.

I'm more interested in MJF than Crazy Ones. Crazy Ones looks like it could be a bit grating, but I'm still kind of interested in it.

i like robin williams but i i am going to watch mjf his show just looks like its the better of the 2

Dale Key · 09-23-2013, 05:46 AM

I still haven't figured out what i'm watching live Thursdays. I like the whole NBC lineup but have no interest in Welcome To The Family, so I may watch CBS from 8 to 10 live but I'm not sure I'll be able to sit through what looks like a new form of dreadful 2.5 Men. I would say I'm looking forward to MJF more than TCO so if I don't watch anything live I'd probably watch that first.

Ryan Chamberlain · 09-23-2013, 05:28 PM

The Michael J Fox Show. I love RW too. But, The Crazy Ones doesn't seem like my kind of sitcom.

icecream · 09-26-2013, 08:48 PM

I've changed my mind and will watch Robin live. since Michael encores tomorrow night and I want to see the Jack Soo tribute on the 9:30 Barney Miller.

icecream · 09-26-2013, 09:29 PM

Underwhelmed by The Crazy Ones, yet another CBS comedy with lots of crude sex talk. MJF is probably better, I'll watch it tomorrow.

James28 · 09-26-2013, 11:13 PM

I chose The Michael J. Fox Show over The Crazy Ones, and actually took the opportunity to sample The MJF Show, with its first two episodes.

How did you like it?

James28 · 09-26-2013, 11:42 PM

I've been looking to sample single-camera comedies after Modern Family started airing its reruns on USA. I also want to sample The Middle as well. Did not actually bother getting into The Office or 30 Rock or even Scrubs.
