If you have ever thought to yourself, “Boy, I sure wish I knew what the old guy who used to watch girls bounce on trampolines, while trying to slur out a coherent sentence, and who I assumed was dead, thinks about women” then you are in luck! Adam Carolla is alive and well and saying words in public again!
1. One thing I didn't mention on the previous "Sorkin" thread was that this "Newsroom" idea seemed like pre-teen fantasy. I'm (maybe) thirteen years older than you, and I can barely remember credible television news.
2. You do recall that there was a moderately successful revival of MOLM ten years ago? Or maybe Sorkin is going for the old-boomer audience? No, I don't know why that would be.
3. I'll trust you that it's dreadful. I'll never have personal experience.
I enjoyed it, but I'll admit it was flawed.
The script was repetitive (especially the extended argument between Mortimer and Daniels in the main character's office) and the plot surrounding the BP oil spill was a stretch. The producer's chance discovery of how Haliburton played a role in the rig explosion a few hours after it occurred was ridiculous.
The characters mostly seem like characters from other Sorkin shows (Daniels's McAvoy is essentially the same character as Matthew Perry in "Studio 60," while Mortimer, Waterston, Allison Pill, and John Gallagher got to be carbon copies of Dana, Isaac, Natalie, and Jeremy from "Sports Night").
I was entertained enough by it to want to stick with it, though, to see if it improves. Until next Sunday, I'm tempted to rewatch "Sports Night" episodes on Netflix.
It is pretty funny that he's a HUUUGEE car guy, american muscle and BMWs especially, if I recall from his CarCast podcast. Yet he's named the same as the most anemic compact performance car that has sold millions of copies to unsuspecting Americans.
Literally.
I find that I tire of insult comics pretty quickly. Also, I have no idea who this Toyota fellow is.
Sorry, were we supposed to think he wasn't?
mine is the fish.
ha! Adam Carolla! haven't thought about him in 15 years!
he wasn't funny then either.
ha!
i kiss you now.

At first glance, I read that as "designated liver".
Possibly, my subconscious is trying to get through.

As usual, directly to the heart of the matter.
Just wait.
And, I can assure you, not all of them.
