Can't believe USA picked up SIRENS, haven't decided on PLAYING HOUSE yet, and held this for *so friggin' long*. Would be a perfect companion for PH, IMO, and is tied with MARRY ME as funniest new comedy. But, this has been a very off year in that department.
This and Marry Me together may just start to mend the hole left behind by HAPPY ENDINGS. :)
loved it... so good having the awesome EC back onscreen... and between the 2 HE alum's shows, pilot vs pilot, I'd have to give the nod to Benched as I find the side/supporting cast more enjoyable, but I'm sampling both for now.... good start for Benched and I'll be back next week
I was really happy to see Eliza Coupe back on tv. All of Happy Endings cast being picked up on shows left and right, just keeps me wondering why they don't just give us back Happy Endings since I am not particularly fond of New Girl or Mindy. And Marry Me, despite my devotion to Casey Wilson is just not doing it for me. It's like they toned down Penny and set her with a new cast of people who aren't as funny. I havent given up on it, but.... Benched was great though. Not only does it give me Eliza Coupe being hilarious once again but also with some Maria Bamford, Oscar Nunez from the Office, and Cedric Yarbrough from Reno 911. I hope they all continue on the show.

Best New Comedy Show & This Fall!

ReplyDeleteThat opening scene was just hilarious. I don't a comedy pilot has ever made me laugh this much before showing the title card. This one's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of the better new comedies I have seen this fall:)
