Let's talk fall line up for sitcoms for a second. NBC hyped up two new shows during the Olympics - Go On and Animal Practice. Here's my opinion on the two of them.
Go On
Mathew Perry has been trying to be on a show for the last couple years to no avail. All of which portray him as a guy with no feelings (frankly, this is his typecast). Watching a show about a person with no feelings is truly b-o-r-i-n-g, and it's no wonder that all his shows have been flops. Go On also portrays Perry as a man with no feelings, but at least in this case, it's because he's just lost his beloved wife. Finally, we can actually feel for Perry's character and so, I think Go On is worth a couple more watches before making the call.
Animal Practice
NBC is pouring out the shows of men with no feelings. Maybe they're trying to emulate House but they're striking out with Animal Practice. It's basically House with animals. Man with no feelings runs a hospital. ho hum. I never liked House and I don't like Animal Practice. I watched about 15 minutes of the show and proceeded to do something I generally never do -- turn off the TV. Best guest - this show lasts until the mid-season and is cut cut cuttttttt!
