Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

Didn't see a thread for this yet. Watched the pilot off my DVR this weekend. It was a little uneven, but I did enjoy it and will try to track down the other aired eps so far. Anyone watch?

The F.N.C. word had me rolling.

I watched the first episode but couldn't get into it. It just seems like they're bickering amongst themselves is really fake, for lack of a better word. It just seems like they're trying too hard. And the FNC word did nothing for me. I'll give it another shot though

I caught the pilot and liked what I saw. Missed the second episode, but plan on tuning in this Wed for the third.

Watched last week - very boring.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

I caught the first episode and thought it was so-so. Missed the 2nd ep and didn't care too much. Maybe I'll catch it online or something.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

I think its pretty funny.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

This show cracks me up. The Sweatpants bit from last night was classic State.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

I've only seen the first ep but the Mother F-N-C Word Nazi Unicorn bit was hilarious.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

Only about half the sketch, though and it's the 2nd half where it all comes together :(

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

dvr'd it, quickly deleted it from my timers. Love the state but never got into reno 911 or anything else these guys may have been associated with.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

I'm enjoying the show a lot. I think Stella and Wainy Days are better State off shoots, but this has some great bits.

The reason for the breakup came out of nowhere. rotfl

^ They cut it in half again... Fascists.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

I really liked the third episode, Jessi Klein was pretty good as Marla who needed an HBI.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

I'm not a fan of the mixed format, I'd prefer just a "sketch" or fictional show. Stella was funnier but this has its moments.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

This week's episode was clearly the best so far.

Sweatpants was funny as hell.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

Boooo! I hope we at least get a DVD release.

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

Dammit. BRB, I've gotta run to Sweatpants :(

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

Strike out again for the Michaels.

Oh well, back to I Love the [INSERT]

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

Crap. :down:

Re: Michael & Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central; Showalter and Ian Black)
 

It's a shame, but not a surprise. The format of the show really wasn't that good. Some of the sketches were great, but the whole behind the scenes of the "show" just never really clicked with it. They needed to make the show either a full on sketch show, or a full on behind the scenes show.
