Jake In Progress

I have to say it.

I love this show! It’s the only thing I watch besides Deadwood.

What do you guys think?

E3

I’ve watched about 4 or 5 episodes now and I have to say that I’m really enjoying it as well. Which surprised me as I did not expect it to be very good.

when i first saw the previews i will admit that my first thought was, “that’ll never last!”

now i think i’m gonna have to watch it. when does it come on?

I had no intention of tuning this show in but I watched it last night while waiting to see if my wife’s plane would ever take off.

The plane didn’t, but I’m glad I caught the show. It has some truly nasty dialog without making the characters so insufferable that I can’t stand them. Stamos does an excellent job and so does Wendie Malick, although she’s always good. (I’ve never seen Full House, so I’m totally neutral on him.)

I just can’t figure out why Rick Hoffman and Julie Bowen look so familiar since I checked IMDb and I’ve almost never seen anything they’ve been in.

Now I have to hope they show a lot of reruns. :slight_smile:

Add me to the list of people who didn’t expect to even try this show but who is glad he did. It was the supporting cast that lured me in, especially Rick Hoffman, though I always thought Stamos seemed self-deprecatingly personable for a pretty boy (how he could’ve screwed it up with his ex-wife I’ll never know). I’m embarassed that I taped the second half of last night’s show (I was going out and I wanted to know how Jake and Patrick became friends) because this is the VERY sort of show I would NEVER watch regularly, or so I thought.

I can’t remember the last Thursday night show I made an effort to watch besides CSI. Night Court? Star Trek?

Last night they reran the pilot and second episode. Which were all about dating rather than the office. If I had seen these first I probably wouldn’t bother to watch again. Wendie Malick makes all the difference to the show.

Probably would’ve been true for me, too, if I hadn’t seen other eps first. While the pilot was good, the office stuff works better.
