io9.gizmodo.com/the-10-biggest-changes-powerless-made-from-its-original-1791963975Apparently, the show sounds like it's completely different from the pilot. Which sounds disappointing. I'll give it a try and see how it pans out (Wildojinx's comment about it being like Better Off Ted is promising), but I'm disappointed that they've kinda switched the dynamic of the characters, where now, Hudgens' character is the wide-eyed excited ingenue, and everyone else is the ground down, annoyed group that she has to win over. It's too typical to how so many office sitcoms work. Well I mean when the original idea was an insurance company as seen on the image they put out... it's pretty obvious they changed everything. |

Yeah this show is a mess, there's a couple decent moments, I enjoyed Hudgens reactions to watching the HR video. Hudgens whole charater is a naïve middle man between incompetent idiot unlivable upper management and the 3 R & D department leads that take indistinguishable turns insulting her or saying terrible sitcom one liners. On paper this doesn't sound to bad, but it's hard to root for or care about anyone on this show. I know it's only the 2nd episode, but first impressions have not been good.

Yeah, watched the first two episodes, and, while I don't hate it, it's absolutely ever other "work-com" ever, just with a little superhero veneer glazed over it for flavor. This show needs to find some kind of heart, ASAP.

I got kind of a "Better Off Ted" vibe from the show, and thats a good thing IMO. Actually, to me, Better Off Ted is a kiss of death. And this show bites. |

That end joke about Sinestro sending Flash to the Phantom Zone,I guess its safe to say that none of the writers are actual comic fans.

Better second episode. That buys the show another week from me.
Still wouldn't call it "good" but it had some moments.

Hudgens is sooooo boring. It's like someone told her just be Leslie Knope. The Atlantis jokes so far were the only I liked.

Gotta see the newest episode but so far I am enjoying it more than any of the CW DC based shows.

Finally watched all 4 episodes today, being that I'm sick in bed. It's so mediocre, but I feel like it's slowing getting better with each episode. Anyone else feel like the 22 minutes just speeds by(Insert 'Powerless' Flash joke)?

It's a fun little show. Harmless fun. Can't hate that. The humor is hit and miss, but I like it when it hits. That end joke about Sinestro sending Flash to the Phantom Zone,I guess its safe to say that none of the writers are actual comic fans. I actually cannot believe anything other than the person who wrote that IS a comic fan and knows just how all 3 of those things do NOT go together... |

It's getting....better? I still wouldn't call it great, or even good, but it's slowly finding it's heart.

This weeks new episode got pulled at the last minute for a rerun of the amazingly good show Trial and Error. Not a good sign...

On tonight's episode, they just said that Van won't sneeze in front of anybody because he sees it as a sign of weakness. Wonder if the writers are familiar with Vince McMahon?

So far I like it. It got off to a slow start but has been getting better each episode.

So I haven't really been feeling this show at all. I think the point in my life where I find sitcoms worthwhile passed at least ten years ago. That said, I did watch "Green Furious" and think "this is pretty decent". Mostly because I thought the actress playing Green Fury and Vanessa Hudgens had good chemistry together. If I'm in charge of the show I think they should just drop everyone else and center it around those two. Make Hudgens character like an agent for C and D level heroes like Fire and Crimson Fox. She runs around trying to get them press and endorsement deals and trying to get them noticed by the Justice League. I think this would have more potential then whatever the hell they're doing now.
