Re: Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref -- Debuts 2/28/10

still think the show is awful, but i'm glad i tuned in last night. with that panel, i felt obligated to, and they were hilarious. the fact that all 3 of them knew exactly how ridiculous the show was made it even better.

i'll never watch the show again, because IMO, there will never be another panel like last night to make me want to tune in, but i'll keep last night's on the DVR for a while and probably watch it again.

Agree with this. If anything I thought last night's show was great DESPITE the premise/format. Frankly with that panel they could have been discussing just about anything and made it interesting... but I think this only reinforces what is wrong with the show, that the main 'topic' of the program is the thing that's bringing it down.

In the very least they shouldn't have limited it to marriages... why not make it about any type of dispute? Disputes between friends, siblings, coworkers, neighbors, etc. At least that would open up the idea a little.

Unfortunately, the show is doing way better than "Leno" did, and better than the other weekday NBC shows during that timeslot.

It's not going anywhere.

+1 Larry was on Fire! Ricky was great. I will definitely re-watch over the weekend. I kept asking myself what in the hell is Madonna doing on this panel, and how many arms got twisted to make that happen?

Jerry must have called in every favor he had. I saw his wife's name in the credits, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Anyways, I also cracked up at last night's show. It was such a strange mix of guests. As long as they can get a good set of panelists, I'll keep watching.

Overall, this show is ridiculous. This panel with LD,Madonna & Ricky Gervais was amazing! LOVED THE PANEL!!! Very hilarious and great banter. Now, the couples...especially the psychiatrist/neurologist? For real? LOL I wonder if he'll have any clients after this airs?
These couples would be the type to show up on Springer.

Jackie Gleason : "You're in the Picture"
by werquin


You're in the Picture was a game show hosted by Jackie Gleason that aired for only one episode on January 20, 1961

The following week, Gleason appeared in the same time-slot and apologized for the show he presented the week before.

I would definitely DVR weekly episodes of The Gleason Apology Show.

I really like this show...I am always laughing my ass off at some point. I actually hope it sticks around. Is it getting crap ratings?

Of course if got renewed. It's Jerry Freaking Seinfeld, NBC's golden boy. Every review I've read says it absolutely sucks ass, so go figure.

I can't believe this show is pulling in more than 5 million viewers per episode. Anybody have numbers to back this up? How many viewers does it get per episode?

The article I read yesterday on TV.com said...
The show is doing okay in the ratings (awesome for NBC), with an average of 7.2 million viewers and a 3.0 rating among adults.
Here is the whole article... http://www.tv.com/the-marriage-ref-g...ory/22336.html

I don't hate this show, but whether or not I would tune in is solely dependant upon who is on the panel. Ricky Gervais and Larry David were great last year, and totally cancelled out Madonna's suckiness, while Adam Carolla was pretty funny, too. That being said, if they populate the panel with witty personalities, and actually alow them to be funny, I'll tune in.

I don't know why they just don't make this a straight comedy panel show about current issues, etc. The "marriage" premise is so poorly executed, and completely superfluous.

That would be an entirely different show. This one Happens to be called The Marriage Ref and is based on that idea.

Yeah, so? Would that be a bad thing? The show as it is now is awful.
