It thought the show was kinda funny. ---

They replayed the first episode Sunday night at 8:30 (which just one week ago was promised to be the new time slot for “Arrested Development”). Feh. I don’t get it. Isn’t there a sign in every writer’s office: “Thou shall not use anything already used 100 times in other sitcoms”? If you 0 originality for episode 1, what’s going to happen by episode 5? ---

> [@Trunk](#): > > I was so repulsed, and as I sad before, genuinely SADDENED by the first ten minutes I couldn’t finish watching it. Yeah, me too. I didn’t even watch “Controls The Universe” that much, but I liked it when I saw it. This thing, though. Even if it didn’t have someone as talented as Richter it would be waste. It was a waste of the gasoline the 3rd assistant grip burned to drive to work. ---

I watched the first five minutes yesterday. I got to the part where one of the daughters was upset about something and said, “I hate this family!” I just said, “I’m with you, sister”, and turned it off.
