First Episode of Oliver Beene...Opinions please - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

lukes42 · 03-09-2003, 10:03 PM

Well, I just finished watching the first episode of Oliver Beene, and I was quite disappointed in what I saw. I think there was one time when laughed, and most of the other material I thought was corny and uninspiring. I really had high hopes for this show, and I hope the second episode turns out better because the premiere was not good. I really want this show to be a hit, but so far to me, it's not starting very strong out of the gate. Well, we'll see what next week brings, because I will be watching.

It had its moments, I Was expecting more though. I Felt the same way about The Malcolm In The Middle Premiere, And that got alot better, So lets just hope for the best.

My sister told me that a critic called it a mixture of The Wonder Years, Malcolm in the Middle, and Andy Richter Controls the Universe. And that's what I was thinking before she told me that. I like The Wonder Years and I LOVE Andy Richter Controls the Universe, but "Oliver Beene" will never be watched again in my home. Bring back Andy!

It stunk! It reminded me of why I find Malcom in the Middle so unwatchable and how much I miss funny sitcoms like the Wonder Years.

I thought it was ok. I don't think it will make it far though.
