This ain't your daddy's Dude

Figured I had to write something thankful and inspiring for the folks who were responsible for the show before it was cancelled. Praise be to those who talked the suits out of enough money to make 10 shows.

Only watched a few episodes, but wow; reminds me that TV doesn't have to be crap. You know how sometimes you can see something small but it's actually pretty big and the more you think about it, it gets bigger? How people seem so stupid and lost, but if give them a chance you realise their struggles are righteous, and you're in their way not the other way around?

The writing is authentic, real; the acting doesn't seem to be; visually it sucks you in like the couch in a furnished apartment and then it slaps you, hard, if you take it too much for granted. Some dialog, some scenes, some shots just have to be watched over again to see how smooth and easy Mexican tequila can be when it's done right fine. It's funny without joking, and the serious is slipped-in sly like so you don't notice too much. It's fairly obvious the show won't appeal to some, maybe a lot, but good, solid work is like that sometimes. But to some, like me, well, it's a little joy to watch. Bless you Jim Gavin whoever you are.
