Title: Angie Tribeca
Post by: bosk1 on February 04, 2016, 10:32:38 AM

Saw a promo spot a little while back and instantly decided it was a "must watch," but then lost track and forgot about it until I saw it when browsing my On Demand queue the other night.  Two episodes in, and it is pretty much what I thought it would be:  Dumb, childish, slap-stick police comedy ala The Naked Gun or Police Squad!  ...and I love it for that.  I mean, come one--the Partner's name is Jay Geils.  How can you NOT love that.

Any other fans?

I kinda want to check it out but the commercials make it look like it's trying too hard to be like The Naked Gun. Which reminds me that I have not watched those movies in a while.

Oh, it absolutely is, and is unabashedly open and upfront about that.  So if that is an issue for you, the show is not for you.  But The Naked Gun was also unabashedly based on Police Squad! and stole a number of gags from that show.  So on and on we go.  Surely, that can't be a substantial objection.

That is a substantial objection.  And don't call me "Shirley."

I like it so far. Steve Carrell is a producer on it and Rashida Jones is great.........plus hot

my friends and I binged the first season when they aired it all back to back in the 25 hour marathon, easily one of the funniest shows i'd seen in ages.  Perfect blend of Naked Gun and Airplane, with a couple running gags that are just hysterical the more times you see them.
looking forward to season 2  :tup

It's on my list of "things I'd like to be watching but am not". I like a lot of the talent involved.

not as funny as the original "Police Squad!" but I enjoyed the first couple of episodes.

Wonder if they tried to contact the two Zuckers and Abrahams at all.

This is the dumbest show I've ever seen and I FREAKING LOVE IT!! I literally laugh out loud watching alone! It also reminds me a little of Get Smart.  :rollin
