Title: Is it just me or does that new Meth and Red show suck??
Post by: -VZA- on June 23, 2004, 10:02:51 PM
after seeing the first episode i was extremely disappointed but then i figured it could be because it was the first episode but then after tonight... i don't think this show is going to last very long.  i didn't know there could be a show worse than snoop's doggy fizzle.   :-\  don't get me wrong... i love snoop and i think the boy is funny but show blew chunks.

lol at the fake studio laughs...its not even taped infront of a live audience.  For that sole reason they should cancel the show

redman is a pretty funny cat... if you don't know then go back and listen to some of his cds.  i didn't expect it to be as good as martin or anything like that but i did expect it to be at least watchable.

It won't last for the simple fact that the whole story and plot where these dudes from the hood come to live in a rich neighborhood has been recycled 1,000 times over. How long can it really last anyways?

that's true, man.  that's the plot of the bernie mac show and that d.l. hughley show.  isn't that what the damon wayans show is about too?  i think it all started with the jeffersons.  at least the bernie mac show focuses more on the bebe kids rather than the whole "movin on up" theme.

who cares if redman is a funny rapper, how would that make him a funny actor?  Jim Carey is a funny actor, does that mean that he would make a funny rapper?  Beside Pac, MC Eiht, and Cube in a couple of his movies, every other rapper who has acted has sucked major balls.

 Method Man Frustrated With His TV Sitcom

 Method Man says he's unhappy with Fox for squeezing the "ghetto" out of his new sitcom.

"This is frustrating for me, and it's not turning out for me as expected," said the rapper-actor, who is co-star and executive producer of the network's comedy series "Method & Red."

"I'm trying to keep this show ghetto, and there's a way for it to be both ghetto and intelligent," he said. "But it's not going that way."

In the show, Method Man and fellow rapper Redman play two hugely successful hip-hop stars who move into an affluent, predominantly white gated community in the suburbs.

The comedy drew more than 8 million viewers in its debut Wednesday, but that didn't minimize Method Man's dissatisfaction. He told the Los Angeles Times the series has veered from his original vision because some executives or writers tried too hard to appeal to "Middle America" with "lame jokes."

"I know what I wanted this show to be, but there's been too much compromise on our side and not enough on their side," he said. He didn't know the series would have a laugh track, he said, adding, "This show doesn't need it."

Fox executives declined comment to the Times.

While the two stars share top billing, Method Man said they don't have enough control over content. He fears the show could potentially alienate their core hip-hop fans.

"I'm not Hollywood," he said. "In hip-hop, we didn't have to buck our teeth or do anything wrong to get an audience. We weren't trying to please the crowd. The audience came to us, buying our records. If we're allowed to do what we do, the audience will come."

Hmmmm, I watched it tonite, and I thought it was pretty damn good.  I missed the first two episodes, so I don't know about those, but this episode was pretty funny.  It's not as good as How High, but pretty funny for a network TV show.
