90 more EPs huh. That's like 5 years worth of shows. I doubt this show goes that far. U watch it? How was it?

It's a syndication model FX does and TBS used to do..they order 10 and if those 10 do well then they produce 90 so they can immediately reap the benefits of syndication.

Show was OK, nothing great. had moments where I laughed and moments where I rolled my eyes, but the chemistry is what sells the show. Martin and Kelsey are dope together just wish they had better material

Me and @kp404 were saying that he's kinda dull in the show as the straight man. Because Kelsey is the jerk of the two of them, Martin does more reacting to his absurdity than doing anything wild himself. Kelsey is the dude with no morals and no scruples while Martin is the kindhearted guy who's good to people. Kelsey is just looking for how to make a quick buck

I see....Martin is good when he's loose and silly but not annoying silly like Eddie gets. I wasn't a big fan of Life because Martins character was mad the whole time, which he should've been, but it didn't make his character any fun.

Yeah he's not mad in this one at all. He's more like a matured version of Marcus from Bad Boys..and coincidently his name is Marcus on the show

Exactly. Life had some great scenes, but I wasn't a fan of Martin in that movie, just like this show...the jokes aren't really jokes and Martin is on full reactionary mode, sleepwalking through the show...it sometimes looks like he doesn't wanna be there; its really awkward

my take.....

1st ep was really bad. But it's the pilot so I'll give it a pass....

2nd ep was much better. The jokes were better, Martin seemed a little more alive.....however....

.....my gripe with MArtin for a while is that he doesnt seem like his old self. He's not energetic and vibrant anymore.

Kelsey Grammar still has his energy and vibe that he's had since Frazier. But Martin doesnt project much emotion anymore, which is what made Martin the show so great.
