Meanwhile, Danielle told the truth about Dirt and her relationship. Hopefully there will be more posts about this post,
What’s up, yea freakin’ buttlicks!!!
Keep plugging this show and sharing it to friends, in a couple years from now I’ve got a feeling there will be a small cult following.
We just have to stay positive like Joel and Gary would want us to stay. We need to harness the power of the scorpion.
I'm from South Africa and only discovered this show now. I was so pumped I watched it twice already. HOW DID THIS GET CANCELLED??!!
Unsupervised will now be airing on Adult Swim starting tonight 2/1/2015 at 1 am! Love to see this show back on TV.
Any ideas or clues?
I saw them playing some episodes on FX, do you think there's a chance it could ever come back? I love this show and thought it was hilarious.
I recently learned that Unsupervised was canceled. This shouldn't surprise anyone who has been paying attention as FX would rather run trash like Charlie Sheen than this amazing show. The insight and creativity put into Unsupervised should serve as a bench for adult animation. While I am saddened that our time with the boys are over; the fact that the last episode wrapped with the boys acting on their compassion for Reggie, and Russ having the greatest birthday he'll ever have, we're given a satisfying ends to a fantastic work. I would like to thank the shows creators and crew for producing this program for us and add that the show couldn't have ended more perfectly.
It's such a disappointment to see the final episodes of such a fun and uplifting show to be relegated to unadvertised, secret premieres at butt-end of a 'The League' block around midnight.
But what I wanted to talk about was the advertising leading up to it's original premiere. Maybe you remember, maybe you don't, but the ads were very much about how there were these two kids, who had no parents, no rules, and could do whatever they want. That was the tagline for the show, "we can do whatever we want, we ain't got no rules." Hell, the title is Unsupervised.
But that's not what the show is about, AT ALL. Our two main characters, our protagonist, are some of the most morally upright people in the history of television. They are good down to their very cores. Without guidance, without instruction, without discipline, their natural state is to love everyone and be good to each other. This is NOT a show about a bunch of hood rats who are wildly out of control because of a lack of supervision.
Maybe the show would have done better, with a better ad campaign. I mean look at Anger Management, that show is a cable attempt at cookie cutter CBS show, but they constantly advertise it as 'edgy' with Charlie Sheen as a 'dangerous' or 'cool' character. Which is laughable.
For starters, if you have only watched the first 2-3 episdoes your arguments are invalid.
I believe that these episodes are just okay, and it is because this show could be written as long as the writers are alive. This is the new Seinfeld. This is the show about life. Except, now it is at the ages that actually mattered the most in the shortest time frame possible.
This is social commentary at its finest, but the first few episodes were Beavis & Buttheaded into turning off the exact audience it wants to attract.
Almost every review I can find online is negative by an author that has, at most, seen 2 episodes. The problem is, all the flaws they point out, are there for the audience. They have to introduce quirky characters to an audience that might not actually care about them aside from their gimmick. So the first few episodes establish the main characters gimmicks, as well as introducing some of the characters I expect to see pretty often from now on.
After this brief and mildly introduction, that is trying to give you a basis for even caring about the stories to come, you get some of the most observant and realistic views on life as an average American. Now, the main characters are far from average, but chances are, you can relate to some of their key features. They aren't supposed to be the smart ones. They are supposed to be the reasonable ones.
They are Jerry and Elaine. Fortunately, this isn't NBC in the 90's and you can have a female sidekick that doesn't need a gimmick. Elaine always had the potential to be Jerry's true sidekick, but I think the show wouldn't have done as well if Elaine didn't always have to go and Kramer a situation. So Megan, is kind of a new character. She is what Elaine could have been, and should have been for a better show, however it would never have been the success it was. This is one of the points that is too smart for the audience. So the real Elaine is now replaced with Joel, who has that same friendship with the real main character, the Jerry of the show, Gary. Jerry isn't old and cynical at this point in life. He is still young, and even if he sees all of the flaws in some of the things around him, he has his friends to keep him sane.
The other rolls are easily changed. Romany Malco is George. Mostly reasonable, but life still takes its toll on the guy. He has no huge flaws, but he is just trying to keep his head down to get by in life, and surrounded by stupidity. George never thought he was a genius, he just couldn't believe how stupid every other fucking person was. So who knows, maybe if George smoked some weed he could have been like this as a teenager.
Russ is Kramer.
Don't really have to say more, but I can. I watched episode 10 today, and the cast drove it home. However, this character is the most important part of the show. I think it is why Seinfeld was able to go on as long as it did.
Seinfeld somehow gained mass appeal. It was a show about life. However, it was a show from the vantage of someone, who felt life was full of morons. Everyone laughed, but someone else was always the butt of the joke. Although, sometimes the main characters flaws became an issue that should have not been one, that is too deep for this now.
Kramer and Russ teach us empathy. You might be able to point out all of the flaws with society, and just other people's general badness around you. The only way to cope with it is by laughing at it. That is why Seinfeld did well. We all have dealt with that one asshole that just goes insane about something they are completely wrong about. Or some type of tradition that society upholds that in reality is just not beneficial we all can see and laugh at it on a show. However, you have the character who is too dumb to even be upset about these things. He will go meet people just because he genuinely enjoys life. Doesn't matter what happens, he is trusting.
So the show preaches that you might be more intelligent than others, but their are other ways to be a fitting member of a better society without being a bit more perceptive than most people, or better able to cope with how awful certain aspects of life are than others.
Kramer and Russ can't be the inner circle, because they are too flawed. However, this show is making fun of stupidity, it also has them to balance it all out. How is Russ supposed to get better? What kind of roll models has he had in life? He really is just doing his best to fit in. Most kids were like this at some point, but we all grow out of it. We don't trust other people anymore, so we can't be easy going. These characters, perhaps too blind to see the obvious flaws in all of those people surrounding them, can get along with anyone and deal with anything. They can also, help introduce the main characters to situations that they really should never be involved in.
That is what I feel most reoccurring character rolls will have. Bring our two main characters. Gary and Joel, into situations that allow us to see flaws in other people and issues we as Americans take as just part of life. Now as to whether or not Megan will become more prominent, as she is now the female Jerry of the show, and the combination counterpart to Jerry Elaine could never be as a women in the 90's, is yet to be seen. They live all of Jerry's jokes, and the format of a dirty cartoon (Simpsons have been around forever, something Seinfeld never could do), and then the jokes aren't shoved down your throat by the narrator (like a stand up comic might deliver?) in this show.
If you don't find this funny, it is most likely too smart for you. Not a big deal, it just isn't for you. If you don't want to think when you watch movies or television, this show is not for you. If sitting back and just being entertained without any thought required by an audience member is what some people like. I think that qualifies as this show being too smart for you, and it isn't a big deal. Just don't watch it.
I will say, depending on how you grew up, the show just might not be relevant to your life. If you were extremely wealthy, or extremely poor, it might not ring as true. However, any person that went to a public school in the US, where teen pregnancy isn't the norm, or 90% of graduates don't go to Country Clubs, you might just not relate.
This is a show about life.
I really really, would love to just chill with the writers and talk about life. I feel like I get them. I might just be high.
Not funnier, per se, but I definitely look forward to it more than archer.
Watched the 1st ep, great show, a lot of potential!
