Shows: Happy Hour
We watched this new show from Fox the other night and wow was it bad. The ensemble cast appeared full of unknowns, but I have to admit to not even being able to make it to the first commercial break, so I can't even say if I met the entire cast. Note that I'm not talking about the break at fifteen minutes - I'm talking about the break that comes at two or three minutes in, when they show the opening credits.
The premise seems to be that there are a handful of people who congregate in someone's apartment and have a happy hour of sorts. I'd guess they're going for a sort of upscale Friends. Then they make jokes about one another, but the jokes aren't very funny and there isn't much to like about anyone, at least that I could see. I didn't even get a flicker of a smile, and I'm generally one who laughs at most anything (see My Name is Earl).
After a couple minutes of this, I was in pain and just had to turn it off.
Update: I have no idea if this is telling in any way, but according to the schedule for this coming week, it's already being replaced by a rerun of 'Til Death.
