Nothing Over Here

If you missed it, don't worry about it.  Fox premiered the first episode of Party Over Here this past Saturday and I barely made it through the first half.  

The idea of an all girls show sounded good, similar to the all guys Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone), until you see the results.  Only the piece in suffragette was worth mentioning, and it really went nowhere.  

Although Lonely Island produced the show, it was hard to see any beneficial result. Maybe coarse male humor is not so effective with a female cast.

In discussing the new show, creator Andy Samberg stated:

We wanted to do something new and exciting and fun but we didn’t want it to have any direct conflict. We want to be asked back! We’re not, like, raging war on SNL. That’s still our home and our family.

I don't think SNL has anything to worry about.
