I have a problem with anyone who has admittedly drugged and robbed people. 

Look, I told you I was sorry for that..... uh, I mean, yeah, me too!

Queen Latifah stars as The Equalizer on CBS. Is this a joke? Is this a comedy? I watched the original Equalizer back in the 80's & liked it a lot. But how can anyone take this show seriously with Queen Latifah as the lead character? I'm out before it even starts. What terrible casting. 

It may suck, and it’s another re-tread, and you just may not like Queen Latifah in general, but don’t judge just on the casting beforehand. No one thought that Bruce Willis of Moonlighting fame could ever pass as an action star when Die Hard came out, and who would peg Liam Neeson as an action star either before Taken, given his work in Schindler’s List and Love Actually?

Well, if I don't watch it certainly won't make or break that series.

It's not out of the norm. Edward Woodward didn't exactly go full Liam Neeson on anyone.

Well this thread feels mildly racist, sexist and who knows what else.... 

There are standards to be upheld on MBB ;)

I can't wait to see what outrageous characters we will see, I predict we will see a Moose, a Cabbage, a whatdahellisthat (thingamajig and watchamacallit were already taken), a Polar Bear...did they do a heart already? Toilet Paper, a can of beans...oh what the hey I want to see another puppet and another duo costume (those snow owl costumes were awesome) of course these are all joke predictions I'll be shocked if any of my predictions are right

My wife and I who were big fans of Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon decided to give Mayim Bialik's new series "Call me Kat" a try. This may be one the worst shows we've ever seen,  absolutely dreadful all around with terrible one liners, unnatural acting,  bad breaking 4th wall bits,  and super bizarre endings where everyone breaks character and smiles and waves at the camera.  

It reminded me of the bad parts from a cheese 80's sitcom mixed with early 2000's disney channel kids stuff (Hannah Montana).   I'll be amazed if it even lasts a full season.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected from the promos. Wife and I are the same...really into BBT and YS, so we wanted to give this a run, but the promos just looked so terrible...I didn't hold out hope.

This is Richard Thornburg, speaking to you live from Winnipeg... where Brandon has joined the sad but world wide fraternity whose only membership requirement is watching the awesome spectacular fail of Call Me Kat...

The Young Rock premiered yesterday. It was alright. Same with Kenan that had a pilot episode after.

Young Rock wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but it was alright. Most of the fun, for me, was the portrayal of actual old time wrestlers. They did a fairly good job with casting (the Andre didn't really look like Andre, I didn't think...but when you need a guy that big, your options are limited...). 

As much as I love Kenan Thomson and Chris Redd, that show is definitely not for me...good for them for getting a full time scripted show, tho....

Yeah I'm hoping it gets better. It was a decent start though.

The kenan show I'm not totally sold on, but again I think it has good potential. Most shows aren't super good right out of the gate.

I think if I had kids, I might appreciate that type of show a little more. I just have absolutely no interest in that kind of "family comedy". It seems like Full House for a new generation, which is all fine and dandy if you're into that sort of thing...

I'm assuming this will end up on Teletoon, but I haven't watched the show in years, I mean the Ridonculous Race was fun to watch but I'm no longer invested in this franchise, I didn't even see Total Dramarama
