The Marriage Ref Makes You Wonder What Horrible Hollywood Secrets Jerry Seinfeld Knows
By James Brady RyanMarch 1st, 2010, 1:01 pmComments (7)Because no one who wasn't being blackmailed would be on this. Really, Alec Baldwin? Madonna? Tina Fey? You're better than this. Even you, Eva Longoria-Parker. Even you. If you were lucky enough to avoid this show, here is a "Sneak Preview" of last night's episode:
Basically, the entire time I was like this:
But my brain was a lot like this:
The premier episode centered around two couples with two equally ridiculous problems: should that guy be allowed to keep the stuffed corpse of his dead dog in the foyer? And should that wife accept her husband's desire to put a stripper pole in their bedroom? The obvious answers are no (because everyone knows that in feng shui a dead dog is a water object and that room is clearly a fire space) and no (because that's gross). But I guess these people just needed Kelly Ripa to tell them that?
Tune in next week, when some couple needs Sherri Shepherd and Mr. T to tell them whether or not it's okay to not wash for two months at a time.

Jerry: Wait a second. Mr. Pennypacker. If you're here and Mr. Vandelay is also here, then who's watching the factory?
Kramer: The factory?
Jerry: The Saab factory?
Kramer: Jerry, that's in Sweden.
Seems so long ago.
I feel like Jerry Seinfeld can't ever do anything good again, because he knows that if he ever seriously tries at anything, he'd have to live up to his sitcom's impossibly high standard. But if he just does stupid things like TV cameos, Bee Movie and this, people will just figure he's not really trying.
Ricky Gervais? Alec Baldwin? Madonna? Larry David? Tina Fey? Pretty damn A-list.
Jerry is friends with Tom Papa and Papa has opened for him on tour.
Oh god, how hilarious there's a post about this here right now -- I JUST finished watching the pilot and was just going on about the HORROR of it. My friend kept saying "why... why... why are you even watching that? I can't believe you're watching that..." And it WAS horrible. I watched it for Baldwin. It was worth it to hear him say "...I don't pee on my friends." Other than that, a commenter on hulu.com summed it up perfectly: "Not only was the show unfunny, sorry..make that UNfunny (deserving of caps...) it looked and felt exactly like a parody of a game show that the great SCTV might have done 25 years ago...only without any sense of irony or humor."
No surprise. Post-Seinfeld Seinfeld has gone downhill fast. He's done one crappy project after another, in addition to coming across as a pompous ass.
This is so much like your average British panel comedy show, it's not even funny. I mean really, it's not even funny.
