Corbett felt unconvincing as a lead here honestly but the writing is sharp and the directing makes it all the less surprising that the Russo Bros would go onto revolutionise comedy TV directing before they went onto become industry superstars working on the MCU.
Robinson and Gardell are decent supporting actors here too, it further goes to show how much of a shame it is that Gardell wasted his comedic acting peak on Mike & Molly. Chuck Lorre is a TV terrorist.
But yeah, I get why this show commercially flopped. That said, if they could have gotten a better lead actor... it could have been so different. For what it's worth, at least this ep got an Emmy nom!
