Kind Of A Slow Show After Great Super Bowl, 4 FEBRUÁR 2009
7/10
Author: DKOSTY from United States

I had never seen this show prior to it being on after the Super Bowl. This particular post-Super Bowl edition featured Jack Black & Jessica Alba as guest stars. As it is the first show of the series I have watched, it is all new to me.

From what I saw here, there must be better shows. This one reminded me of and hour-long poor imitation of Scrubs only the jokes seemed to go from terrible to worse with no rhyme or reason. What I saw is some totally crazy sequences and then it seemed like the show had so many commercial breaks that by the time it got back again, you kind of lost track of where you were anyhow.

Jack Black and Alba both were little more than cameos and the guy who worked in the office that initially starts a fire in the beginning of the show must have been a regular because in the real world he would have been fired. In fact, he comes off as a total idiot in this episode. That makes me assume that by watching other shows a viewer is likely to pass this off as his normal behavior?

I am sure NBC got some ratings on this in that time spot but I was not impressed enough by this one to search out other episodes so this might be the only one I ever watch.
