I kind of like the guys standup, but christ, I'm watching this "sitcom" of his and it's god damned DIRE. This is the most annoying use of laughtrack I've ever heard. I haven't hated a show as much in such a short time ever before.

At least it's work for Elliott Gould.

This was dire enough it got me to look around online and if what I'm reading can be believed, the pilot sucks, but later episodes start to show promise. So I guess I'm just going to try to block out the memories of the pilot.

The guy's great on Kroll Show and I've seen some decent stand up out of him. The show looked pretty shit based on commercials though.

Its funny you mentioned the laugh track, because isn't it filmed before a live studio audience? He and Jimmy Fallon kept talking about it when he was on the Tonight Show last week.

They still edit it with a laugh track when they do that. Mulaney seems like a dreadful actor, so this isn't the best way to start here.

One thing in the commercials, it was like they were trying to make his name a punchline. "MULANEY!?"
It's not really an inherently funny thing to say.

It looks like the show Louis CK walked away from in that episode of Louis.

I really like Mulaney's stand up, so I'm gonna keep giving this a shot. I laughed a few times during the pilot. The laugh track does get annoying at points. John's acting is too stand-up-ey, if that makes sense. Like he's just doing his act while everybody else is actually acting.

It was awful. Don't know which was worse, Mulaney's terrible acting or Short hamming up every second of his screen time. I don't think I will watch it again.

John Mulaney is my favorite comedian right now. One of the funniest I've ever seen. Because of that I wont be watching this show.

Does he do stand up on the show like Seinfeld did on his?

Hopefully, it gets cancelled quickly to bring Bob's Burgers back up out of the 7:30 NFL doom spot.

So weird to see Elliott Gould in a character described as "a Yoda". To think he went from an icon of youth; To an icon of being f***in' old:

I don't know much of Mulaney the comic, but he's a pretty bad actor and it's not like Jerry Seinfeld or many of the other comedians turned actors were great, but his really stands out. It's overstuffed with the whacky "standout character". This Andre, Elliot Gould, Martin Short. I've heard people call Seinfeld's first season rough, but that was rough because it needed to be smoothed out. A foundation was laid, but they didn't figure out completely what it was. Here, it's like Mulaney and the executive notes overworked the concept and produced this…thing.

It felt like watching TNA. This show has some great talent signed on to appear ... but it's like they forgot about giving them something entertaining to do.
