Brockmire

I was happily surprised at how amusing this show was. Top notch writing and a stellar cast. Episode one had me chuckling out loud. Azaria has found a great outlet for his talents. Amanda Peet is her usual cute self and does bring what the role needs. The absolutely downfall is portrayed humorously and perfectly by Hank though. He steals the show.

Sooo funny -- then that final season. Check out S1-3 then stop.

Hank's acting is spot on and the story line is genius. I was literally laughing out loud...and cannot wait for future episodes! Even non-baseball fans will crack up at the ridiculousness of the situation. Hank's "typical" baseball announcing voice is a throwback to my youth. Heard Hank interviewed on Howard Stern and couldn't be happier I found season 1, episode 1, on IFC.

OK, it's good to have a new, fresh comedy series back. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of the comedies still in cartel (Modern Family, The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Big Bang Theory) but they have already run dry. If your are watching a comedy and you are not laughing there is something wrong with it. Thanks for this comedy with Azaria and Peet, I'm laughing again.

And we're off to a roaring start! This series is the perfect bland of black comedy. Rarely have I seen such depth in such a short while while leaving development wide open for the remainder of the season.

Jim Brockmire(Hank Azaria) had a perfectly acceptable life as a stadium announcer until he came home to find his wife hosting a what can only be described as NSFW party. Following which he proceeded to go straight to work and blow up his career, and shortly after hold some press conferences securing his greatest pain online for life. It is now 10 years later, and he's been offered a position in a run down town in the middle of nowhere with a team of.. let's just call them colorful players. Mix in Jules(Amanda Pete) and you have a screwball comedy of monumental proportions on your hands.

10/10 Thank god someone's still paying attention in how to make a great show about the worst parts of life.
