Yea but some semblance of story. The problem with the show is its just Pete wandering around with no direction. Its television...it needs to have a plot and a loose overall arc.
I was entertained by the Bill Burr episode but they missed like 10 opportunities to have a plot. The worst was the Jezebel story. Pete was worried for like 0.5 seconds that Burr was mad and the tension was immediately released when he forgave him. It would've been hilarious if Pete was unclear in various situations if Bill Burr was mad at him. The issue is that the show is written by Holmes and Greg Fitzsimmons. 2 comedians who don't know **** about TV writing. You need the combination of joke guys and actual writers to write a comedy. Otherwise you get Crashing. A show with no story and tons of missed opportunities.
--Also Leaf. WTF they made this guy seem pretty normal in situations where its abundantly clear they should be exaggerating his actions/musings for comedic effect. There were a couple times where I was thinking "oh what a nice thoughtful guy" instead of "this guy is REALLY OUT THERE LOL". Show is amateur hour for sure.
