"Life's Too Short" - New show from Gervais/Merchant
Really, no buzz about this show?
I know it hasn't aired in the US yet but still, this is the internet
It's coming to HBO next year though.
Observational sitcom series, created and written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, from an idea by Warwick Davis, and is described by Gervais as about "the life of a showbiz dwarf", with Davis playing a fictionalised version of himself. Gervais and Merchant will appear in cameos as themselves.
The first episode was hilarious.

I'm guessing this will be paired with the animated Ricky Gervais show?? If so, when will the The Life and Times of Tim run?

I can't see anything replacing An Idiot Abroad.
This doesn't have the absolute genius of Pilky 01 - just the average genius of Gervais and Merchant.

Most of the reviews for this show have been pretty bad. I'll check it out eventually, but I liked the Depp and Neeson clips that I've seen.

Enjoyed the first two shows, but I was rolling my eyes at the wedding toast. The character hasn't been potrayed as being so stupid he would think he could make all those "jokes" without offending people.
The scene of Johnny Depp angry at Gervais over the Golden Globes was even funnier now that Gervais will be hosting again.

I absolutely loved this. It's in the same vein as Extra and the Brit version of The Office, both of which I loved. Liam Nesson had me in stitches, will they be doing a celebrity of the week as was done on Extras? If so, here's hoping Patrick Stewart is on this as well.

Well, since then they've started working on "The Short Way 'Round" with Karl and Warwick going around the world on a bicycle

It was okay. I wish Warwick could have come up with something for his character other than his lame David Brent impression.

I thought this was kinda boring for the most part, but the Liam Neeson part made it worth watching.
