Gary Unmarried (2008–2010)
7/10
Decent
9 October 2009
This recently came out down here in NZ. In my opinion, this show definitely has its laugh out loud moments, for which I am now a dedicated viewer, but this is somewhat marred by the shamelessly pretentious lines given to the children of Gary. Honestly, just on this night's episode, the girl's line, 'I'm Jane Goodall, living with the apes' made me want to shoot myself. No 9 year old girl in her right mind would realistically say such an academic wisecrack, and furthermore, it's not that funny. This show made me realise how much I hate precocious children. Let kids be kids, I say.

So overall, an interesting concept. It has its hilarious moments, but tends towards suicidally irritating when the kids are in the picture. 7/10.

By the way, Jay Mohr's portrayal of the character Gary is fantastic. Good on ya Jay!
