Mik 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 So, tonight is the pilot for Listen Up, 8:30 on (I think) CBS. It stars Jason Alexander as Tony Kleinman and Malcom Jamal Warner as the Michael Wilbon character. Kleinman is, of course, Kornheiser, and the scripts for this series are loosely based on a series of columns Kornheiser has written about trying to relate to his teenagers. I'm hoping it will be good. I love PTI and I think Jason Alexander is a funny guy. I can't see it lasting 10 seasons or anything, but I hope it lasts at least 2-3 solid years. What do you guys think about this show, and whose watching tonight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2004 I think that if CBS truly wanted it to succeed as a show they should've put it on right before a CSI or something. Regardless, it'd still be as bad as it's been tonight. Blecch. It has a laugh track, this can't be good. That's the general rule, but I think there are a few exceptions- Spin City for example.

Mik 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2004 I actually kinda liked it. There were a few funny parts. I mean, I didn't have any belly laughs, but I think it could get better with time. It was only the pilot. I'll give it a few more weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
