It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

When i go into a show with a laugh track, clever humor is what I look for most. That's the reason Seinfeld had it's charm, and it's the reason Mulaney has his. He is the anchor of the show, much like Jerry, and the writing is very funny and respectable. I'm actually surprised Fox has a show of this quality on air. Pearlman is hilarious, and Martin Short is pretty good. My only worries are that shows like this need to find their footing fast these days. I hope the viewership numbers are good because I can foresee this becoming a show with classic episodes like a Cheers or, again, Seinfeld. John Mulaney is one hell of a good comedian.

I like to check out as many of the new shows on each season, at least once. And I'm a trooper, baby, I watch them all the way through even if they suck. This is the FIRST time I couldn't stomach watching this new show all the way through. It is SO BAD, it boggles my mind that it would ever get past the script stage.I apologize here to John Mulaney, but dude, you can't act. If people are telling you you're good (and I'm sure they are), they're lying to you. You need to be in acting class and learning the craft. Once you can actually act -- which is not the same as being a comedian -- then come back to TV and give it a shot.The writing of this pilot episode is horrible, too. Unfunny, stupid jokes with lame set-ups. Even the Martin Short character was lame. And the set-up of him not showing up for his Charity but you can get your picture taken for $25 with his cardboard cutout? WTF?? Based on this pilot script, Mr. Mulaney can't write, either.As far as the other characters/actors in the show, I don't know whether it's them, or the writing, but they don't come off good either. I would be shocked if this show wasn't canceled. Unless the pilot is an outlier and the following episodes are much better. But I won't be tuning in. Epic fail for me.

So our lead here, Mulaney, is a an award winning writer and comedian, neat. The show has a another strong supporting established comedian, Martin Short, sounds even better right? But unfortunately these two pillars are missing the third essential one to hold up the show, and that is any actual qualities of a show. It has virtually no real story, a show about nothing eh? Sound familiar? Not so bad, there are tons of shows about nothing. How about the jokes? We'll on paper I'm sure they're great, out of these folk's mouths, they sound forced and are just horrible. But even that isn't a show killer. Bad jokes and terrible actors are abound on successful TV shows. What puts the death nail into this steaming pile of a show is Mulaney himself. The guy just can't act, not even a little. It's not bad acting, it's non-existent acting, like watching a mannequin who sort of sounds like 'Raymond' awkwardly read lines like a 3rd grader public speaking in front of his class for the first time. It's awkward and painful to watch him speak, worse than a fork on a chalk board painful. He obviously has no idea what he's doing, and whoever green light this, well warm up that resume cause your days are numbered. So go ahead and skip Mulaney, you're not missing anything.

first mulaney have 2 roommates which Jerry doesn't and there is no 2 black men in Seinfeld thats a point for mulaney and Jane had a boyfriend at the pilot Elane dated jerry thats another point for mulaney , mulaney has great cast Elliot Gould and martin short are the funniest men ever and mulaney doesn't have a tall idiot YET and no bold man either and there was a tension between the cast of Seinfeld during the first few seasons which didn't get acclaimed at first just like mulaney despite mulaney cast has a chemistry a weird one a funny one and all of the haters you all judged mulaney based on the pilot my suggestion is to wait until the 12th episode the say : GOOD OR BAD NOTHING MORE , mulaney isn't dads the last unlaughable FOX series which actually got 24 episode so please don't judge mulaney on the pilot and other point for mulaney they have a lot of funny comedians so wait and lets see what happened :D
