Would you say it's at all better than the previews? Because I made the decision not to watch based off that, it looked absolutely terrible which is a bad sign when you're trying to put your best foot forward.

Yes and it was head and shoulders more funny than the first episode of most comedy shows. It’s always sunny, the office, parks and rec just to name a few; their first episodes were not funny stand alone. It took quite a few episodes with a few of them being outstandingly hilarious to even get into the shows, then after being familiar with the humor in the show the first episode for those shows gets a few chuckles out of me.

Highly disagree on Always Sunny, they have one of the funniest pilots imo. The show was still finding itself (Dee was so much better when they made her as deplorable as the rest of the gang), but the first season is still better than most comedies.

HOW'S THAT ASS FEEL?

The first ep of IASIP is classic.

Interesting to find out what other people think is hilarious or not. I couldn’t get into the first few episodes of that show, but a few seasons in I flipped back on It’s always sunny and now it’s one of my all time favorites and I enjoy now those episodes with some context.

It’s better than all the Chuck Lorre comedies all over the networks which means it will be canceled fairly quick.

That makes a lot of sense as most of the bad takes on the show I see are on their social media ad commenta

Liked the first episode, will continue watching.

Better than night court for me.

I didn’t dislike the new Nightcourt like I thought I would. Nothing will ever live up to the depth the original had. I feel like if they just did what Law and Order did with it’s reboots and title it differently like, Nightcourt LA or something it’d probably be a lot more palatable.

I like that idea of a different court in a different place. Maybe Dan retired to Vegas or something.

I can't get behind the lead or the bailiff on that show. They both are terrible actors, but I like the rest of the cast. I keep seeing so much praise for it and I'm scratching my head wondering if people are really watching it for what it is now, rather than what it could be.

With Animal Control, I had no issues with any of the actors, and I even already like them all after 1 episode. I like the boss from Mr Mayor, I think she was better in this show than in that last one with Ted Danson (she had a few great lines in that). I already like the rivalry between precincts, and I like the setup that every episode will have an interesting animal encounter.

I found the first episode to feel very forced. Something seemed off and it felt like none of the characters had any chemistry.

But it’s a comedy so may take some time for then to grow into each other

It worked better that I thought it would after watching the trailer. Nothing I found hilarious or even really funny but it had enough charms that I'm willing to give it a few more episodes to see where it's going.

Fuck no, dee was WAY better when she was the quasi normal view. ‘Whackadoo’ botox dee is juvenile, forced and unfunny. Season 14 on shes basically 0/10. Sigh.

I thought it was a solid pilot with some great character development in just a small period of time. Laughed quite a bit, so I hope it only gets better from here.

I mean it's a network sitcom and it feels like it. I didn't dislike the episode I saw but let's see what happens.

Entirely disagree as well. She was just another sitcom character until the second season.

Plus we'd never have the Gang Broke Dee if she stayed the same, as well as countless other episodes.

Thank you, I knew I wasn't the only one, I was actually surprised to see it with the others (and honestly, the other two aren't as bad as many others).

The gang broke dee was still awesome. And the slow deterioration into madness was the best part (she had to be kind of normal to start to appreciate that descent).

But now with her perpetual ‘wackadoo’ scenes its just not funny. The slapstick is forced. NOW shes just another sitcom character.

The first episode didn’t feel like a 1st episode, it Felt more like an episode 2 or even the second half of a 40 minute episode.

I’d say it was rough but felt like it could be a decent show much like Sirens, a comedy show about emts dealing with all sorts of calls much like how this show is setup. Drew the comparison because of how similar the “new guy” felt to Sirens’ character Brian, both characters/actors have a very similar upbeat style to them.

Mostly watching for Joel Mchale but I can see this show being a season 1 and done. Had to look up if this was on the same network where he did “The Great Indoors”, canceled after 1 season, but it’s not and at least this show doesn’t have a laugh track.

Show doesn’t need a laugh track with Michael Rowland he and Vella Lovell as Emily are who make the show hilarious. Knowing some of Rowlands regions stand up adds to the halarity, his character having been used to be a pro snowboarder maybe the funniest and most outlandish backstory to a network sitcom character ever.

Animal Control is so bad it feels like it should be a weird B-plot background show in a much better quality show. The characters all fell like they came straight from a book on writing comedy. The dialogue feels like it's filmed one line at a time instead of characters actually talking to each other. The entire premise is the same as every other quick to fail comedy.

I'm really enjoying it!

I loved the first episode, the 2nd episode sucked but I’m already hooked so I’ll keep watching.

Did the second episode look too shaky to you? Like handheld shot on steroids. It was very distracting.
