Network Comedies That Are Doomed to Fail
Because I Like Them. I have a terrible record on picking the critic loved, but viewer rejected shows. This season . . .
1) Blackish - it was a rough start, but now the race specific joke are in the background rather than forefront and it's a better show for it.
2) Fresh Off the Boat - Same issue. Eddie Huang's bio sitcom is not much more than an Asian "Goldbergs" but the cast is much better used.
3) Last Man on Earth - Will Forte plays the survivor of a planetary virus in Tucson. Of course they had to add a woman to the script, and Kristen Schaal plays just the loopy character to make him wish he was alone again.
