Eviction notice please be served!I hoped that the show might be good because the classic sit-com has become an endangered species - you know the sort, the one that's filmed in front of a live studio audience or at least leads us to believe that it is by using a laugh track - but rather than aiding the decaying idea, Roommates is digging the grave.
The situation comedy starring Sister Sister's Tamera Mowry - what happened to the other twin, and for that matter the little brother? - revolves around the lives of four roommates and their love lives and a not-so-secret crush. However, the show is riddled with 1990's sit-com cliches and hemorrhaging crappy plot lines and premises. Is there hope for the classic sit-com set up? With Roommates sticking around, I'm sure that it's as good as dead.
The show also stars Tyler Francavilla, as Mark who is "secretly" in love with Katie (Dorian Brown); Tommy Dewey as wise cracking, sex-crazed, typical man's man, James; and David Weidoff as Thom, Mark's odd-ball former roommate that adds nothing to the "comedy" except witty one liners and cliched situations.
It's like Friends only no one's watching and it sucks completely. If the show makes it to a second season, I'm going to start judging this country's funny bone.
Stumble It!
