I saw the pilot and liked it a lot. But I wasn't as crazy about it as everyone else. I get a little bit of a sense of the writers showing off. Maybe that's really stupid of me.
I will admit I was slightly disappointed that they had him renounce his degeneration so quickly and profess his love for her but I'm confident the show won't turn sappy.
but def think it would have played better without him having that change of heart.
Eh, I guess I'll be the dissenting opinion. There are good bits here, but they're telegraphed from a mile off. Anytime he steps into the announcer's box you know what's coming. It's like instead of your buddy just telling a joke, he says "Ok, I'm about to tell you a joke about this cashier" (or whatever). It takes a lot of the surprise away. And what is comedy anyway, other than surprise or truth.
