Jake In Progress 03/13/05
 

The first two episodes show some potential. Not really sure if I like Rick Hoffman's character & the way that he worked his way into Jake's inner circle, but I guess it sets the stage for his character's personality. Didn't really like that they dropped Madchen Amick's character without seeing what happened after the date. We see Jake saying that she didn't like him, but we didn't get any further info about Hoffman's character and Amick. I really like Ian Gomez as well.

The music and the dialogue is very reminiscent of David E Kelly, which, to me, is not a good thing. I find that his stuff is fine in small doses, but very tiresome over an entire series. Hopefully, this won't be the case here.

I couldn't make it through both episodes. It was all very ordinary.

I don't see it lasting into the summer.

I didn't watch it, but I want to call this show Jake 3.0. :lol:

:lol: Somebody I know said that last night

It was kinda ordinary as someone said above, nothing really stood out for me. Maybe it'll get better though.

Am I insane, but was this show either on, or planned and talked about YEARS ago?

I tried to like the show, although I'm not sure exactly why, but I just found the whole proceedings very blah and predictable, like something that I had seen many times before. I watched the first ep and don't think that I chuckled once through it. I started watching the second one and got as far as the opening credits before saying to myself: Do you really want to commit to watch another show, especially this one? After that, I quit watching.

it wasn't too bad, however how it will survive the 8 pm thursday night slot??????

I watched both episodes. It's ok. But when they move it to Thursday against Survivor, I'm going to watch Survivor instead of this show.

It has no prayer in that timeslot. None whatsoever, and starting it out there does not look good for the series.

I thought it was pretty boring. I turned it off sortly after the second episode started. ABC just must want to kill it off if they are putting it on Thursday night at 8. Then again, it is best to put it in a place where I will be watching something else :D

the only redeeming thing about the show was the girl in the first episode. i FF'd through the second one. very boring stuff.

I just caught the first four episodes tonight & I was actually impressed. From the ads I was expecting an hour long drama, but I got a 1/2 sitcom instead. I thought it was pretty funny. It also kept me interested, otherwise I would've stopped watching after the first episode. I hate Madchen Amick (ever since I saw her on Fantasy Island), so I wasn't interested in seeing her again. I wonder if this is a gender thing. I liked the show & I'm a woman. It seems a lot of men didn't like it. Which seems strange because the main character is a womanizer. Then again, I'm a chick who reads Maxim so what do I know? I hate Survivor, like most reality shows. So that doesn't enter into my decision.

Yeah, I liked it too. It's not spectacularly original, but it has a nice humor to it. I think his dentist friend is pretty funny.
