Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

still think the show is awful, but i'm glad i tuned in last night. with that panel, i felt obligated to, and they were hilarious. the fact that all 3 of them knew exactly how ridiculous the show was made it even better.

i'll never watch the show again, because IMO, there will never be another panel like last night to make me want to tune in, but i'll keep last night's on the DVR for a while and probably watch it again.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

Agree with this. If anything I thought last night's show was great DESPITE the premise/format. Frankly with that panel they could have been discussing just about anything and made it interesting... but I think this only reinforces what is wrong with the show, that the main 'topic' of the program is the thing that's bringing it down.

In the very least they shouldn't have limited it to marriages... why not make it about any type of dispute? Disputes between friends, siblings, coworkers, neighbors, etc. At least that would open up the idea a little.

Unfortunately, the show is doing way better than "Leno" did, and better than the other weekday NBC shows during that timeslot.

It's not going anywhere.

+1 Larry was on Fire! Ricky was great. I will definitely re-watch over the weekend. I kept asking myself what in the hell is Madonna doing on this panel, and how many arms got twisted to make that happen?

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

Jerry must have called in every favor he had. I saw his wife's name in the credits, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Anyways, I also cracked up at last night's show. It was such a strange mix of guests. As long as they can get a good set of panelists, I'll keep watching.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

Overall, this show is ridiculous. This panel with LD,Madonna & Ricky Gervais was amazing! LOVED THE PANEL!!! Very hilarious and great banter. Now, the couples...especially the psychiatrist/neurologist? For real? LOL I wonder if he'll have any clients after this airs?
These couples would be the type to show up on Springer.

You're in the Picture was a game show hosted by Jackie Gleason that aired for only one episode on January 20, 1961

The following week, Gleason appeared in the same time-slot and apologized for the show he presented the week before.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

I would definitely DVR weekly episodes of The Gleason Apology Show.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

Anyone still in.

the last ep had Tracy Morgan and he delivered.
the show has grown on me, and Papa has become less annoying.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

I really like this show...I am always laughing my ass off at some point. I actually hope it sticks around. Is it getting crap ratings?

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

It got renewed.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

Of course if got renewed. It's Jerry Freaking Seinfeld, NBC's golden boy. Every review I've read says it absolutely sucks ass, so go figure.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

I can't believe this show is pulling in more than 5 million viewers per episode. Anybody have numbers to back this up? How many viewers does it get per episode?

So when is this show going to return for S2? I miss it.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

Probably a midseason or summer replacemnt

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

March 6th. Read the sticky at the top of this forum with all the winter premiere dates.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

I don't hate this show, but whether or not I would tune in is solely dependant upon who is on the panel. Ricky Gervais and Larry David were great last year, and totally cancelled out Madonna's suckiness, while Adam Carolla was pretty funny, too. That being said, if they populate the panel with witty personalities, and actually alow them to be funny, I'll tune in.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

I don't know why they just don't make this a straight comedy panel show about current issues, etc. The "marriage" premise is so poorly executed, and completely superfluous.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

That would be an entirely different show. This one Happens to be called The Marriage Ref and is based on that idea.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

Yeah, so? Would that be a bad thing? The show as it is now is awful.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

was this show canceled?

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

no it comes back june 26th.

Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10
 

If only they got rid of that horrible host.
