Benjamonster's TV

INDEBTED Starring: Adam Pally, Abby Elliott, Jessy Hodges, with Steven Weber and Fran Drescher Created by Dan Levy Written by Dan Levy, Directed by Andy Ackerman Indebted is certainly not lacking in experienced sitcom performers. In the same show, we have veterans from The Nanny, Wings, Happy Endings and Saturday Night Live . That's a pretty wide range of comedies that have their fans from all walks of life. So a show with this much talent can't be bad, right? Well, meet Indebted . Indebted starts in a very strange way, with Dave and Rebecca (Adam Pally & Abby Elliott) basically mid conversation with the laugh track alive and well. It was almost like they cut a few seconds and it made for a very weird start that felt off. Then the show proceeded to immediately tell us (not show us) the plot by introducing Dave's parents, Debbie and Stew (Fran Drescher & Steven Weber). First of all, the show treats Drescher like she's Lucille Ball coming back ...

Here's a look at this week on TV! ABC ABC has two episodes of The Bachelor this week, a three hour edition on Monday and a two hour episode on Wednesday. They also have two days of political programming with the State of the Union on Tuesday and a Primary Debate on Friday. After all that, they have the Oscars on Sunday. So it's a very unusual week but a lot of these oddities should make for a higher rated week than normal.

Here's a look at this week on TV! ABC ABC has a pretty normal week. The season finale of Emergence is on Tuesday night. It could very well be a series finale because of their low-rated drama newbies, I think Stumptown has a better shot at renewal.

OUTMATCHED Starring: Jason Biggs, Maggie Lawson, Tisha Campbell, Ashley Boettcher, Connor Kalopsis, Jack Stanton, Oakley Bull Created by Ion Zimmet Written by Ion Zimmet, Directed by Jonathan Judge I looked at the date on my computer as I was writing this review to make sure it was still 2020. Because FOX's new Outmatched looks and feels like it could have premiered in 1998. For starters, the premise is pretty silly. Two average-intelligence parents (Jason Biggs and Maggie Lawson) are surrounded by three genius children (Ashley Boettcher, Charlie Kalopsis & Jack Stanton) and one average kid (Oakley Bull). If, for some reason, you find that premise complicated, have no fear! They basically reiterated throughout the entire pilot. That was the single most annoying thing about the pilot. It was truly a one joke show. The entire episode from start to finish was about the kids being smarter than the parents. I mean, literally. There have been some other sitcoms...

9-1-1: LONE STAR Starring: Rob Lowe, Liv Tyler, Ronen Rubinstein, Sierra McClain, Jim Parrack, Natacha Karam, Brian Michael Smith, Rafael Silva, Julian Works Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk & Tim Minear Written by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk & Tim Minear, Directed by Bradley Buecker I've had very mixed feeling about Ryan Murphy's shows over the years. Plenty of them are too preachy, too erratic or too weird for me. But one of his that I actually do like is 9-1-1 . I love it for its mix of ridiculous situations and strong characters. It puts a little bit of a Ryan Murphy spin on a traditional procedural and it surprisingly works. Like any good procedural, we have a "more of the same" spinoff which sort of dilutes the freshness that 9-1-1 brought to the genre. 9-1-1: Lone Star has a little bit of a different feel than the mothership while also having elements that remind us of the original 9-1-1 . As opposed to meeting a group already w...
