Spun Out

And... every character is 'the funny one'. The race to a joke is blindingly fast as each character one ups the other to a fragmented mess in the end. Lost track of the individual characters during my only watch so maybe if I give it another try, and let them assert themselves the be a payoff. Humour is there in bales but there is no time to sort it out before another is piled on.

Not good, not great and to put a twist one of the repeated punchlines during my view.

'I WOULDN'T tap that'.

Like the first time though, I think I will expect better results now that I'm braced for the onslaught.

Firstly let me say that the review from 'slickmcshady' is clearly written by someone from the show. Any review that can list all the actors and script writers and all of their previous work is suspect to say the least.

Now the show. Stereotypical, clichéd, lazy sitcom. I found myself wondering why the laughtrack was being played at moments that were decidedly unfunny. I didn't laugh once during the entire half hour. There should and could have been great potential for a sitcom set in a PR firm but unfortunately it is all to formulaic. If this is what they produce for the pilot I really can't see a future.

Avoid. 2/10.

Nothing about this show is even one bit funny, not even unintentionally funny because it is so poorly produced, poorly acted, poorly written and just plain bad.

The actors are all terrible and deliver the lines terribly but maybe they just realize none of this matters because the show is so bad they have no hope anyway.

The writing is terrible with every single joke being either stupid, awful and unfunny or so predictable you already know it's coming and usually both of those things.

The directing and producing are terrible with the show unbelievably unfunny, predictable like I said, super stupid and unbelievably plots, and a laugh track that is so obnoxious and desperate to try to convince us that this crap is funny that it actually gave me nausea and made me angry.

Why is something this bad on TV?

I give it 3 and the only reason I don't give it a 1 is that I love Dave Foley and he is not bad in this. Otherwise I would be trying to vote zero or even negative numbers

Someone said this show is a turkey and that is the perfect word for it. It just seems appropriate to call this show a turkey. Or maybe a lemon. Nothing to see here. Just a terribly written show where the stories and characters are nonsense and none of the jokes even come within a whiff of being funny, even in a "ha ha these dad jokes are so bad it's kind of funny" kind of way. The acting is also terrible by everyone including David Foley. We shouldn't give him a pass in this just because he was in Kids in the Hall. You can see them differently. He was great in other things but this show is garbage, he and everyone else are all garbage in it. Three stars because I have seen worse shows believe it or not.

I give Spun Out a 5 out of 10 which I think is a very fair rating for this show. I would call it an average show so the over all average rating will have to do for it obviously! The thing that really makes this show hurt in the over all enjoyment I have for it is the acting which is really over the top and bizarre for most of the characters. The worst culprit is the actor who plays the office's stupid guy, who takes his pants off for no reason and he makes a jingle that is nothing but him talking about cats or whatever. I get it that he is supposed to be the bizarre guy who is supposed to make us laugh just because he is so stupid and bizarre. But here is something to consider, if the guy is working at a recording board and taping himself and he has headphones plugged in and turned on then why is the music also playing loud in the office around him? Don't these people understand how headphones work?

The bad acting and stupid mistakes like that really ruin this show for me. The only actors I like are the dark haired girlfriend (or ex girlfriend or girl who is just a friend I'm not sure what their deal is yet) and of course Dave Foly who is great in everything. All the other actors are trying way too hard or something especially the stupid guy I mentioned but also the dark haired guy (main character) and the blond girl. If they had people who could be funny maybe I could tell if the show is any good but for now I can't tell for sure.
