Yeah, no, I’m not watching this TV show

| May 16, 2013

It’s like Soup Sandwich and Ken Crocheron are the consultants on this thing;

Thanks (I think) to Andy for the link.

That shit will be cancelled in 2 weeks I am betting.

Probably would have been a better movie instead. It reminds me of Stripes except less slapstick and dry humor replaced with emasculated male humor.

Its awful…seriously who the hell green lighted this. Anybody who’s former military and advising on this should be ashamed. Atleast Stripes got some shit right. I guess my big problem is the super fat guy. Eveything else is typical Hollywood, screwing up how the military works.

Andy, Andy, Andy……What the hell are we gonna do with you? Somebody please yank his *dickweed* certification.

Finrod

Holy crap, who thought this piece of trash up?

RC Jones38 TSGT USAF Ret.

Obviously, these people enlisted in the unorganized milita, funded by George Soros to discredit military everywhere.

2/17 Air Cav

I thought Andy was funnin’ us so I googled the show. It’s legit. You know how commercials for upcoming TV shows work. They use clips of the best stuff the show offers. So, we’ve seen the highlights. I never cracked a smile. McHale’s Navy was funny. Hogan’s Heroes was funny. Gomer Pyle, USMC was funny. I Dream of Jeannie was funny. Sgt. Bilko was funny. This show is not funny, not even a little bit funny.

William Marcum

Pretty sure they aren’t targeting military to watch this, just the brain dead mouth breathers that gobble up anything that’s thrown at them.

AverageNCO

Okay, so the only realistic thing I saw was the Italians showing up in camp and taking their shirts off to parade their muscles…I saw that happen once….except they weren’t quite so buff, and our females weren’t quite so impressed.

Combat Historian

Meh…it won’t hold a candle to “Sergeant Bilko” with Phil Silvers…now THAT was a funny series…

FatCircles0311

Seems like a lot of US Army butthurt here.

nucsnipe

F Troop is even better than this slop

Combat Historian

Darn…2/17 AirCav has already beat me to the SGT Bilko reference…

Green Thumb

Stupid.

jonp

I made it through about half of that death spiral for actors show. Holy batshit……..

streetsweeper

You got to keep an eye on those AirCav guys, CH. They can be some real sneaky sonsabitches at times. Looks like this was 2/17’s…

Ex-PH2

I’ll stick to watching reruns of “Tour of Duty” and “Hennessey.”

2/17 Air Cav

Here’s a present for you, CH–and anyone else who remembers (or, for that matter, has no clue about) SGT Bilko. in this episode, he meets his match–a WAC. She’s every bit the conniver Bilko is. Classic line from this brown boot Army comedy: “Volunteer? I told you never to use that word in these barracks!”

Valkyrie

I don’t know. I like comedies like this. But with all the bad press the Military is getting right now,it might not be a great time for something like this to air. Still looks funny as hell though.

Who knows I’m just a moron at heart.

68W58

OK-it sucks, but the whole water skiing behind the tracked vehicle is classic Joe being Joe.

Pineywoods NCO

“Stripes” meets “SGT Bilko” meets “F Troop” in the 21st century.

Has potential, if I can overcome the disgust I will have how it may play out. Might be funny.

Having said that, can someone please find “Basic Training” that was done by the History Channel. That’s more realistic.

Ex-PH2

I have to agree with Valkyrie @19 – it might inspire some people to join up, just for the ride. People really do like stupid entertainment. If they didn’t, “Porky’s” would not be considered a classic…

Oh, laws!! What did I just say!?!?!?!

”Duffel Blog- writers needed on Line 1…

Duffel Blog- writers needed on Line 1…”

I think this show will be called DE-Listed by week 3…

OlafTheTanker

They cancelled Finder for THIS!?!?!?

Mike

I thought it was funny, but those out of regs haircuts and fat body 30 yo privates hit a bit close to home.

MK75Gunner

This shit is just like CPO Sharkey except no one’s laughing….No wait, it’s the same.

Jumpmaster

Oh wow, this show reeks.

Combat Historian

#18: 2/17 AirCav, thanks for the link; it’s been many years since I watched an episode of Bilko; that one was a classic!

Just Plain Jason

Honestly, it is a comedy. We need some laughs. I doesn’t look that bad, at least it isn’t trying to be serious…army wives.

A Proud Infidel

That? Talk about bottom-of-the-bucket CRAP….

David

Oh for F@#$% Sake!!! Only the idiots in Hollywood could possibly think this is funny.

91B - IraqVetX2

Not going to lie, I laughed during this trailer. I don’t expect this show to last very long at all but I will watch it anyways. Looks amusing enough watch without expecting an Emmy-winning performance from any of the actors…

Twist

Even Polly Shore is weeping watching this trailer.

Pineywoods NCO

@32

I did too. The more I think about it however, the more it irritates me. I give it four weeks tops.

Pineywoods NCO

And one more thing, and this is speaking straight up.

What CSM would talk directly to a SGT unless said SGT was in charge of his command group team or the command group secretary??

Mike

Joe never gets a show. Lets give it a chance at least.

Andy

@35, plot point, the Sgts father and the CSM served together.

J.M.

Mother of god….

Just Plain Jason

BILKO!

Ex-PH2

This show is better.

Ex-PH2

So’s this one.

cannoncocker

Make it stop….MAKE IT STOP!!!!

What in the holy hell is this piece of crap? You can definitely tell the disconnect between our civilian counterparts and the military. This is atrocious! An the fact that they are airing in during conflicts that are still going on in the world is truly disgraceful and disrespectful. Hey, I like humor as well as the next guy, but this is grade-A crap! Can’t we ever get any type of military humor that is even close to how things really are? Guess I won’t hold my breath! Hell, even Sgt. Bilko, In the Army Now, Stripes and M.A.S.H. was better than this garbage! Awful! Just plain awful!

Matthew House

typical emasculated hollywood crap. White males -must- be the butt of all jokes, because white males are the enemy!

squid

Based on the time I spent at Ft. Bragg, everything seems to be in place here. At least you know it will be more accurate than the “hurt locker”…

PigmyPuncher

I want my 3 minutes back….

ABN Gramps

What. The. FUCK!!!!!!!! This isn’t even close to Stripes!!! or even SGT Bilko (under rated Steve Martin movie in my books). Watching the trailer was 3:17 of my life I will NEVER get back. What a load of crap. Won’t be watching when it gets canned after two episodes (I hope to God).

ABN Gramps

@44, I agree. I’d rather watch (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) Pauly Shore than this show.

J.M.

I watched the trailer a 2nd time and noticed that they mentioned this was a rear-d unit. That makes the trailer alot more accurate, lol.

GunzRunner

What in the name of all that is holy?????

What rocket scientist decided to do a military version of Police Academy?

I’m with John, just don’t put an umbrella in their hand.
