Was taping West Wing and happened to catch the premere of the sitcom “Center Of The Universe”.
It looks like it was cast by the unemployment office in Hollywood - John Goodman, Jean Smart, Ed Asner, Olympia Dukakis, Dietrick Bader (sp?)…how bad can it be?
Bad.
Once again, a sitcom with a fat guy and beautiful wife, with quirky elderly parents and wacky siblings…it looks like it was pieced together using discarded plots of Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens, According To Jim and other such high-brow entertainment.
Why these good comic actors would lower themselves to do such crap is beyond me. It has a tired format, was poorly written, and sin of sins, unfunny.
This show might be the final straw in the death of sitcoms as we know them.
