Sadly too silly
14 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I was so looking forward to seeing the return of Tony Shalhoub and did find Mary Winstead refreshing. I am sorry they didn't attach themselves to a vehicle that wasn't so vacant and unimaginative.

The best humor is always based on some form of reality, or at least on something conceivable. Ants surviving a 2800 degree meteor is just too silly and Jerry Louis level wacky for me. They may as well have parted the Atlantic and had the bugs crawl out from under it. Or, had ancient carpenter ants awaken from inside the pyramids and fly the Atlantic first class in DC-9's with 13 Scientologists.

The list of silly is endless... I am sure there will be many redeeming factors in time, just very sorry the beginning premise did not hook me, left me empty and for the most part un-entertained.

Had 'Monk' been based on space bugs I would have felt the same way. Nor would I still be enjoying the complete collection to this day. Hopefully this show will fade soon and Tony Shalhoub can return to something worthy of his unique and wonderful excellence.
