The Grinder started around the same time as another sitcom, Life in Pieces. I would say the two shows are about equally as funny, and yet I've watched far more episodes of The Grinder. I think it's because, while Life in Pieces has a bunch of characters with their own stories the intersect, resulting in a very funny but somewhat disconnected experience, The Grinder is very tightly focused, with a very clear sense of the world it is creating and, as the season moved on, an increasing focus on the story arc.
The cast is amazing. Everyone is excellent, and Rob Lowe's vain but well-intentioned celebrity is the part he will spend the rest of his life trying to equal.
The story has become increasingly focused as the season has progressed. At first it was simply a matter of tossing the characters together, but as things progressed the series has really worked at making me want to watch not just for laughs but also to find out what happens next.
Definitely a series everyone should check out. Also, Life in Pieces; I really need to watch more of that.
