Con (2005)
Tiring...
You know, I love the prospect of conning honest, hard-working people out of their services just as much as the next guy, but Con is just boring. It seems like Skyler Stone always has to work up a ridiculously circuitous plan to achieve the simplest of ends.
The circuitous planning wouldn't be bad if it were applied to grand schemes, but more often than not the cons on Con are so small in scope that I just can't bring myself to give a damn.
In one episode Skyler created a convoluted plan to get models to believe he's a photographer and clean his living room... oh, burn! And all it took was 3 days of rigorous planning and preparation! Con would be great if the cast would just pull a great con, but as it is it's just boring.
Drawn Together (2004)
It's Really Very Simple
Let me just start by saying that it feels like there's a lot of pretense when it comes to Drawn Together. It's as if the show is so pleased with itself that it can't believe you aren't too.
One of the running gags in Drawn Together is a grossly over-done "DUHHH!" line, performed in a kind of raspy idiot voice with the character's head suddenly growing and going wide-eyed. Think about your funniest friends, do any of them do this? I think the overwhelming majority of people would say no. Now think about your friends who actually do this... would you give them a comedy show? Or would you do the proper thing and ridicule their dream into oblivion?
I wouldn't recommend this show, it's a good premise but it just isn't very funny.
