First Review of Bob and David's New Show
The pilot for David's Situation, the new sitcom from Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, taped last Friday, and The Onion AV Club's Josh Modell was in attendance. He's got a full write-up with some minor spoilers, but the gist of it is the show is funny and original and HBO really ought to give it a chance. Here's some of the review that you shouldn't read if you want to be completely surprised if and when the show airs:
Not to get sappy, but there was pretty palpable positive energy coming
both from Odenkirk and the audience. After a few minutes of warm-up by
comedian Mark Cohen (and a sound system playing what must’ve been
Cross’ iPod), Odenkirk introduced Cross, who came out and began to
deliver a monologue out in front of the set. (The set, they claimed,
was from Everybody Loves Raymond.) At first it seemed like Cross was
just warming up the crowd, but it turned out his stand-up bit was
actually the show’s beginning, and he used it to explain the premise.
(He’d go on to break the fourth wall several times in the show, too.)
