Committed Audience Reviews

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Justin Gardner There are some shows that just don't click with the mass audience. This is one of them. This show was intelligent, funny, quirky, innovative, and just plane a pleasure to watch. The acting was superb, the writing was amazing, the jokes were delivered perfectly ever time. The comedic timing was dead on. These actors were all professional and so worthy of praise. They did get one nomination for something, I remember way back when.Is is available to stream anywhere?I was really sad to have seen it go.Like a number of other shows that are too smart for the mass audience. Wished it had lasted longer.
ekawalaski Sometimes, the TV allows us access to good shows. Some other times, TV gives us crap. Although I do not particularly love the cast of "Committed," I found it shameful that talents were wasted on such a production."Committed" is one of those shows that networks would put in a recycle pin, or "on the shelf," because it is something that needs a lot of work. However, it is not too bad that they would cancel its existence. This particular show does not offer any intellectual process or depth of thought. Instead, it is accumulates all kinds of clichés and over-seen situation into one frame. In other words, "Threes Company" seems like an intelligent show in comparison with "Committed." And unlike any other funny TV shows, such as "Grounded for Life," "Still Standing," and some others, the funny jokes are not spontaneous and do not have anything new for an adult to be amused by; furthermore, the situations were built on silliest thoughts and assumptions that a real person would fall into.The character development in "Committed" is committed for deterioration of mind. There is no development whatsoever, and the plot does not enhance itself. It is even worse because there is no one to advance or make the plot viable (almost plot-less). Sadly, "Committed" is nothing but a draft for TV.The only reason I watched this show is because of three actors, Jennifer Finnigan, Tammy Lynn Michaels, and Darius McCrary (you have to remember him from "Family Matters"). Those are three actors I respect and adore, but, unfortunately, their talents were completely wasted here. Finnigan, the protagonist (also famous for her role in "Crossing Jordan") is such a pretty gal, but in "Committed" she is most annoying and stupid character with a shrieking voice. T.L. Michaels is a babe, if you remember her in "Popular," and she plays a helping character who is a nanny. McCrary is someone I was hoping to see more of his work, but being a helping character in this show, he is unable to deliver a soaring performance. Otherwise, just watching Finnigan and Michaels is enough to make an effort to glimpse at this travesty called "Committed." The bottom line is this: the network needed something to fill in the empty slot, so they closed their eyes and randomly selected one of the scripts on the shelves. It is even clear that some elements of this show is similar to "Scrubs" where we see the character "Clown" being Clown like "Janitor" is Janitor in "Scrubs." Though, do not be mistaken, this show has nothing close to/with "Scrubs." Therefore, watching "Committed" is only watching ages fleeing from our time, and the makers of this show are the ones who should be committed.
scarletminded Poor Scrubs. I keep missing the show on Tuesdays. I kept hoping that once Joey started playing on Thursday, Scrubs would be in the 8:30 spot, but no.This show is. I would rather watch Scrubs on Thursday, but this is pleasant. I wouldn't mind seeing this and Scrubs on Tuesday in the same hour.Clown is a funny character...does he live in the closet? The messed up apartment was interesting, as was the Muppets phone.I can't say it was bad. Doesn't have the wit of Scrubs nor the mainstay value of Joey, but it could find its own niche attached to one of the shows. I would like that, because like I have said before, I don't stop to watch a 30 min show, so Scrubs has been skipped over by me and I shouldn't skip it, it is a good show.Oh, yeah. Committed is good too.
gamesoonly A whole lot of funny Potential here. This is a quirky and fun new sitcom, that has that something that hum Let me see..... I know! Iknow! It makes you laugh. The Characters are funny and still a bit tense, but hopefully this new series will have the chance to stay on long enough to pick their development and keep us laughing as opposed to what there is on TV now, if it is funny well so is the mumps. With exception to "E.B.L. RAYMOND" and "Still Standing" and sometimes "Listen Up", there are not many funny sitcoms on anymore. Heck Friends just ended last year, yet it sucked for the last 3 years it was on anyway. Back to basic's "Committed" is witty and just a whole lot of laughs, hope it makes it.
