why not just make 'Damage Control'?


edit: apparently that's happening as well.

^^^Haha, dueling shows.

This looks stupid. I'll check out the first ep. though.

staxamillion
could be a thing thanks for look

The problem I have with this show is..there are certain shows that come out where if they fail..the level of failure is up for debate, sometimes it's a huge failure other times its not a huge failure, but still a show didn't get enough ratings, etc.

I feel like with this show if it fails..it's going to fail HARD and to epic proportions.

Hey isn't one of those guys from the Best Show Ever once known as FireFly?

So now this is the BEST SHOW EVER!

Woo so gonna watch.

Yeah, I heard a while back that Damage Control was in the works. I'm quite curious to see how both of these shows will pan out. I feel like it's one of those situations where they are either going to be great, or really, really bad. Instead of just landing somewhere in the middle.

riv6672
Good call on the middle road.

carthage
no thanks

Surtur
Makes more sense as Marvel show, Marvel just seems to be better with humor.

the promo didn't pull me in. the guy from community is a draw for me so I'll check it out. I don't always like a show at first anyways a lot of times it takes 3 eps to like or dislike for me...

that damage control looks legit

Yikes, that "it's a bird, it's a plane" joke was cringeworthy as f*ck.

That looks awful. I'm out.

That was like watching the trailer for the new Baywatch movie. I really wanted to find some humour I could appreciate... but I didn't. Though I usually enjoy Danny Pudi (fun fact, he made a small cameo in CA:TWS), so might still give the pilot a shot.

I will say this: I don't hate Alan Tudyk. The Van Wayne character seems like the only funny part so far.

Darth Thor
I'll watch for Alan Tudyk. Or at least I'll give it a chance.

staxamillion
tis growing on me. I can say that.

Watched the premiere last night.
Yeah i'll watch another. Not hitting record series yet.

I was pleased at the dry humor, liked Adam West's voice over, and surprised they used Crimson Fox and Jack O Lantern as the resident supers (thats 2 examples of digging into the DC vault).

Dreampanther
Yeah, I liked it. Silly, but fun. Lots of Easter eggs and in-jokes for the fanboys and girls. Reminded me a bit of The Big Bang Theory when it just started, which is ironic, since I watched the newest episode of TBBT just after Powerless and didn't find it half as funny.

If it reminds you of TBBT, then it must be terrible.

I find its better not to argue with someone who's opinion is 'this sucks' with no reasoning to follow.
You waste time throwing together an argument and just get the same comment as a reply, with maybe an lol tacked on.

Some just cant differentiate between 'i dont like this' and 'this is bad'. If they could, they'd have better arguments to begin with.

I agree.

Which is why I didn't bother to type out a reply or formulate an argument, I just copied and pasted that list of awards evil face evil face

I wasn't very impressed with the pilot, but will give it another episode before making up my mind.

staxamillion
it has a couple more eps in now? is it good? the TBBT comparison threw me off because I do not like that show
