On Sunday night, I was watching the Olympics closing
ceremony entertainment on NBC when they cut their coverage to show a
commercial-free episode of their new comedy, Animal Practice.
I’d seen their promos of the show every night during the two
weeks preceding and was a bit intrigued … some of the little segments seemed so
outrageous and funny. So, instead of being angry at their arbitrary insertion
of the show, I demurred and watched it.
Boy … is it lousy. There’s no heart to it, everything seems
just so mean-spirited, and even after loads to reflection, I can’t come up with
any redeeming reasons why I should watch it. The characters are kind of
offensive, Capuchin monkey included, each in his or her own way – either immature or too serious or dumb or
condescending or timid or stereotyped. That wouldn’t be so bad if the blend was
good.
Maybe if I read further reviews, say at the end of season 1,
that tell me it matured and improved, I might give it another chance.
But as for now … fergit abouddit!
