silly as it might sound "what's this about" it could be about a woman getting
divorced, a planet leaving orbit, a person dying..........just would like to
know the basics..

the power of google -- from tvrage.com
from the farrelly brothers, unhitched is about a group of newly single thirtysomethings in
boston as they relearn the rules of dating and go through the difficult task of starting
over. each of the group would love to get remarried, but finding that special someone is
harder then they remember. jack "gator" gately (craig bierko) is likable, charismatic and
never dreamed that he would be single again, but he's making the best of single life. with
his single buddies, gator chronicles their misadventures as a list of dating tips, such as
"learn to identify gang tattoos" and "pretty woman is not a documentary".

no killer robots in this one .. think i'll pass.

\"a 35-year-old man is a newcomer to the world of dating when his marriage
crumbles after more than 10 happy years.
previously titled \'the rules for starting over\'.\"

i dont recognise any of the cast so either its new blood actors or actors that
cant act.
judging from the following review, its a dud.
a review from tvtonight.com.au/2008/03/reviewers-unhitched-by-gross-out-
humour.html

reviewers unhitched by gross-out humour
unhitched is being floated as a new sitcom from the farrelly brothers. in
truth the two are amongst the executive producers, and directed the first
episode.
but they actually didn\'t create the show which looks at a group of newly
single friends learning the lessons of starting over in their 30s.
the comedy opens with a gag about being violated by a baby ape, and reviews
are already talking about the \'primate\' style-humour and gross-out gags from
the two hit filmmakers.
most of the reviews have been negative, leading with various headlines with
titles like new fox sitcom just plain stupid, fox comes unhitched, unhitched
is just unfunny, and farrelly brothers don\'t translate well to the tv sitcom
genre.
the comedy is set to air on the network ten this year.
the hollywood reporter said, \"the cast, a pastiche of different personality
types, comes together to form a smooth laugh machine. jones is fetching enough
to attract eyeballs, and yet it\'s still possible to believe she could have a
bumpy love life. bierko is a perfect everyman, and sneed is hilariously horny.
that leaves majumder, who fares pretty well considering that his character,
the clueless guy from india, is a species that threatens to overrun tv
comedies....normally, you never know if the rest of the series can match the
mix of romance and anarchy in the pilot, but there\'s reason to be optimistic
with unhitched.\"
daily herald: \"viewers who don\'t expect too much -- and have a high
tolerance
for bodily functions -- might be pleasantly amused....the hallmark of the
farrelly brand is humor that\'s not stupid but stoopid, deliberately dumb,
idiotic with a purpose and gleefully addicted to the gross and the tasteless.
that\'s all there in unhitched, but it also has a wry, bemused, observational
tone all its own. it displays a warmth for its characters that sets it apart
from other, more typically cruel fox sitcoms. it\'s not quite as polished an
ensemble piece as cbs\' more conventional how i met your mother, but it\'s not
trying to be.\"
but there were many more reviewers that weren\'t laughing.
variety said: \"the show feels completely derivative, it\'s wholly
unconvincing
that the central quartet would hang out together, and i\'m frankly still fuzzy
(mostly because after 10 minutes it\'s difficult to give a damn) on what
connects them beyond the not-that-jarring status of being single again in
their 30s and, well, seinfeld did it. although fox\'s promotion bills the show
as \"outrageous,\" the farrellys also seem oddly shackled compared with even
their lesser bigscreen endeavor.\"
new york daily news: \"explaining what\'s wrong with the farrelly brothers\'
new
sitcom, unhitched, which debuts sunday on fox, can\'t be done with words
like \"crude\" and \"obvious\" - because in the farrelly universe, those
aren\'t
criticisms.......some parts of unhitched would be great as beer commercials,
30 seconds and out. the problem is that they have to fill 30 minutes, which
conversely isn\'t enough time to develop the subtle touches of humanity that
made \"mary\" or \"dumber\" into more than just crude laughs.\"
winnipeg sun: \"unhitched, however, is shockingly lame.....in a broad
conceptual sense, unhitched seems like something the farrellys burped up one
day after lunch. majumder, craig bierko, johnny sneed and rashida jones play
four newly single pals who rely on each other to navigate the goofy waters of
dating in their 30s. wow, ground-breaking, eh?\"

clearly none of these dipshits bothered watching it.
seems to be the standard deal nowadays....read a synopsis, write a review, get paid.
i watched it. it was good.
laughed pretty hard too.
just sucks that this version to the end reverts to 4:3 and the audio changes too.
if i'm going to start collecting this series...this 1st rip just won't do.
all in all tho, definately watchable and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up viewers.
the actors are all unknowns but can definately act. but as usual, some reviewers will have some stupid
shit to say....thats what they're there for.

it was good, not great but definitely more than merely watchable and i don't
doubt will get better as the characters develop.
as for the critics, like new york daily news, 30 minutes? really? i think
someone hasn't watched tv since maybe the 50s and even then they still were
clocking in around 26 minutes. nixon started deregulation sometime in the late
60s or early 70s so we see sitcoms clocking in just over 20 minutes.
and as for the accusations of being derivative.... well that is just shocking!
tv is the new frontier, the sharp edge of the knife for our culture. just look
at such ground breaking shows as american idol, flash gordon, knight rider,
bionic woman or csi (insert name of city).

simple if anyone bothered to look it up. it's a situation comedy about 30
somethings getting back into the dating scene. some of the actors may seem
unknown, but candian audiences will instantly recognize shaun majumder from
this hour has 22 minutes. reviews here in canada are pretty bad, mostly
because majumder speaks with an accent and we all know that he has no accent.
as for me, it's another sitcom, so best to check it out for a couple episodes
myself and see if it's any good. never trust reviewers and all their personal
bias, glad i watched big bang theory instead of believing some of the reviews
it got.
btw rt42, when it was first put up last night there was no i button, it was an
a button that gave no information at all, the other posts were before eztv
updated.

craig bierko was part of the cast of boston legal, rashida jones was jim's girlfriend in the office (us).

so it's yet another mind numbingly boring show about yuppies being mind
numbingly boring, set to a typically hectic city background involving mind
numbingly boring humour and a laugh track.
woot, meh.
