IFC: Brockmire
Can't wait to see this!
http://www.ifc.com/shows/brockmire Starts April 5th on IFC. Following a 10-year bender, the disgraced "Voice of Kansas City" apprehensively returns to the booth. Brockmire(Hank Azaria) has become a viral sensation ("Keep it Brockmire!"), so Jules (Amanda Peet), owner of a scrappy minor-league team, hires him to restore "the worst town in America."

I like the show, but I doubt anyone involved is making enough to buy a mid-sized sedan out of the enterprise. |

I thought yesterday's episode was pretty weak. And I'm not some pro-lifer. The deliver of the "some horses, they have ghonorea." Was damn funny but that's about it.

Show is slowly sliding downhill. Jokes are few and far between.

Snorting the pill was an obvious plot device. But it was humorous contemplating them going back, hat in hand, for a replacement. |

Nothing world-altering but it's a show about a degenerate baseball announcer and his alcoholic girlfriend. You're not gonna get Silicon Valley level comedy here; this isn't highbrow. They don't really trade in wry wit (though occasionally you have bits of it; the abortion doctor was a solid example). |

Eh. It didn't resonate with me. For whatever reason.

Same. Never been a fan of Azaria's acting though. He should stick to voices.
EDIT: Just noticed you were speaking about the most recent episode. I didn't make it past the first. It had a few funny moments but nothing enough to make me want to watch the second. |

I gotta say, when this started it was madcap fun, but I wasn't sold on an extended narrative.
When it got a pickup for several seasons it was a bit of a head-scratcher. But man, they have a heck of a writing staff. The situations and the overall narratives are pretty pedestrian. Now that he's sober, things are a lot less over the top. But the banter and the dialog is topnotch week after week. Reliably somebody says something that has me pausing the stream to catch up with the laughter. If you dropped it, or haven't caught it yet, it remains worth a glance. |

His feud with the Crawdaddy mascot is one of the greater running jokes with such a great payoff.
