oh the things I would do to Odette Annable :drool:

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I have this set to record tonight instead of Mr. Sunshine. I'll have to decide which I want to keep up with.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Really? It would take me longer to type that than to decide.

Oh the things *I* would do to Brett Harrison :drool:

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I like the cast, so I'm in.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Christian Slater is 0 for 2 in weekly TV shows. Hopefully the American Idol lead-in will help.

I like the cast too. Plus, we get to see what Rosenbaum looks like with hair. :D

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

In which way? I only watch Mr Sunshine for James Lesure. I was a big fan of Las Vegas and I'm happy to see him on a show again.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Your talking to a bitter Cougar Town fan there. :lol:

For the record, I also liked seeing Lesure again too, but watched Mr. Sunshine for weekly eye candy of Andrea Anders. :D At least this also has weekly eye candy of Odette Annable.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Didn't know anything about this show until right now. I like 90's Slater and this looks like him. I like Rosenbaum. I think the black guy will get annoying fast if he's always doing shtick like what's in the trailer.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Why bitter? It's still coming back next week, right? It was renewed for season 3 so...

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Sounds a bit like Sneakers.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Had no idea this was a half hour show. I assumed it was an hour show. More incentive to check it out.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

like watch her tv show? ;)

I like pretty much everyone in this cast so I'll be catching it for sure... even if I can pretty much already guess how each charter will be like, just from the actors in the cast..

I'm going to guess FOX will expect huuuuuge ratings numbers with the American Idol lead in.. Does that help or hurt a new show? If they come in with something good number wise, but still a huge drop off does that count as a negative? Even if the number would be a ++ if not for the great lead in?

FOX loves to drop the cancel ax right away...

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I enjoyed it, so I look forward to its cancellation.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

.......... I'll allow it.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Well, that was terrible.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

While the show wasn't groundbreaking, I adore the cast. Slater is the big draw but I was totally floored that Trevor Moore (Whitest Kids U Know) was in this. I love that troupe. Also I remember the main kid from The Loop a few years ago. Fox, though... Fox loves to kill what I love. I don't trust them with this.

I'm already in until there's no more to watch.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'll watch next week.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I thought it was ok for a light comedy sort of show. Nothing ground breaking at all but it's well cast.. Also had a few lines that made me laugh, I'm not really looking for more then that out of a 30min fox comedy anyways..
I like the guy being put in charge of stealing the car being he plays GTA.. "...it's a video game, it doesn't mean I also know how to kill prostitutes" lol

of course as others have also said it's still a FOX network show so if too many of us like it then it's a given they will kill it off..

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

This was hilarious. It reminded me of The Good Guys.


...it will die a quick death. :(

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Trevor Moore has to go. Otherwise, I thought it was a decent pilot. It could get good with some character development.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Yeah I enjoyed it so that means it will be gone in a few weeks...

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I really liked the core of Christian Slater, Brett Harrison, and Odette Annable, but I couldn't stand the rest. They are just trying too hard to make it this zany gang of oddballs. Between the Dwight Schrute wannabe, the black nerd, and d-bag Lex Luthor it was just overkill.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Sic Semper Tyrannis!!!!!

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I like Trevor Moore (I'm a Whitest kids fan). The rest of the cast is good as well. They even have a Megan Fox type chick.

This show reminded me of that "The Knights of Prosperity" show from 4 years ago on ABC (I think).

I hope it sticks around, fun 1/2 hr show.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I thought it was all right. The characters are kind of interesting. Been a fan of Brett Harrison since The Loop.

I just thought it felt rushed and maybe would be better as a 1 hour comedy (like Reaper)

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I liked it too. It was very silly but goofs make me laugh so...

"The names Duncan. Duncan MaNuts"

"What, a black man can only play Lando Calrissian? OBAMA!"

"Captain Kirk did you get my friend request? Beam me up!"

"Any-rape"

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I liked it enough to watch it for a few episodes..

Seems like a "Chuck/Sneakers/The Office" kinda mash-up.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

That's why I watched. If it was an hour long it probably would have stayed on the DVR for about a week before I decided that I didn't want to really watch it and just delete it. Since it was 30 minutes, I watched right away.

I liked it... kind of. Nothing special. It seems like it's trying to be like Chuck (which is a good thing) by mixing in the action and comedy but wasn't that funny (which is a bad thing). All the jokes by the black guy seemed way too forced. I had to roll my eyes every time he said "boom goes the dynamite".

But I like the cast. The guy from The Loop is funny, I've always been a fan of Christian Slater, that one chick is smoking hot and Lex Luthor is awesome. So I'll keep checking it out... but I hope it hits a stride in the coming weeks. If it doesn't, I'm out.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I expected the main character to say he thought his costume was actually Lando from the end of Empire Strikes Back.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I like Brett Harrison and loved the shows that he has starred in, The Loop & Reaper. I really liked this one, but chances are, it'll join his other canceled too early shows.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Hmmm. Had it's moments but the cast seemed really weak.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

:lol: That was hilarious. I laughed quite a few times.

The core 3 members of the cast (Slater, Harrison and Annable) were great. I didn't mind the zany supporting characters.

Loved how they hazed Cameron after he started working at Contra, especially with his car being flipped upside down.

Duncan MaNuts :lol:

Dutch to Cameron: "Hey, you look smart, Can I have some Urine?" :lol:

Is there actually a Curling video game for the Wii?

For any of you who are curious about how this did in the ratings (and already assuming the worst):

http://www.deadline.com/2011/04/rati...-sunshine-map/

9.9M viewers and 3.5 in the 18-49 demos. Highest rated FOX comedy in 3 years. We'll see how it does week 2.

Also, I noticed this show was produced by Adam Sandler's production company Happy Madison.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

yeah, but Knights Of Prosperity was actually funny

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I certainly hope the show was better than the trailer. Because that, at least, was fucking horrid.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Well, are you going to watch it or what? As you can see most of the opinions here are positive, including myself.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

I liked the pilot. The cast was good and I liked the premise of the show so I will be back. I thought it was pretty funny actually.

Re: Breaking In -- New FOX Comedy -- "Pilot" -- 4/06/11
 

Got the pilot free on iTunes and liked it a bunch. Didn't even notice rosenbaum was in it.
