Horrible laugh track in unfunny show
8 October 2013
Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi are 2 guys with their successful video gaming company. Seth is the bachelor and his grumpy dad Peter Riegert moves into his pad. Giovanni Ribisi is married to Vanessa Lachey and his flaky dad Martin Mull moves in with them. Brenda Song works at their company.

This is not funny. The laugh track is annoyingly loud. Brenda Song does get a couple jokes in. I love the 4 male actors, but they have major problems.

Giovanni Ribisi is not a comedian. In fact the only true comedian in the 4 male leads is Martin Mull. The problem with Mull is that he's stuck doing his act against Ribisi. And Vanessa Lachey is impossibly unfunny. She's like a blackhole of comedy.

Seth Green is an amiable guy but it's impossible to laugh with Peter Riegert being so angry. What they have here is 6-7 main actors, and only 1-2 of them who make their living doing jokes. There is no way this show will be renew.
