Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

verbusen I doubt this is on the air in America now (2008), but Star World network is touting this as a new show in their "family friendly" lineup. It goes way overboard to make every character have a serious hang up about something, and of course there is Jane Curtain's mental illness, oh thats always a great subject to laugh about! They all get together working in a restaurant and there is a lot of awkward moments, in fact the whole show is more soap opera with a load laugh track added to make you think it's funny, but it's just one awkward moment after another with a mentally ill woman thrown in for the gut buster (not!). There was a reason it only aired for 5 episodes, LOL. That may be the best joke this show provided! 4 stars because its in color I guess, I actually would rather a lame show like friends over this and I always turn the channel when Friends comes on, so there ya go.

pei1 Once I saw the pilot I couldn't wait to watch the rest. I really hope they keep this one on the air. As others have mentioned, the writing could have used a little work, in some areas but I think it's a promising new show, lots of good jokes, kept me laughing. It's nice to see Fred Savage playing a comedy role again. It's almost as if he disappeared for awhile and then came back to the screen. The acting in this show good all around, each one of the cast members makes their role believable. I really like that there is some seriousness to it also, some realizations, along with a good mixture of comedy. The concept seems original to me, most of the family based sitcoms you see anymore are all the same, but this has originality to it that many sitcoms lack. ABC has really done it with this one, and lets try to keep it on the air? Hmm-K?

ccpuzzler I had great expectations for this show when I saw the early previews of it. It seemed like the premise was brilliant. However, after watching a few episodes, what this show suffers greatly from is the writing. It is just too lethargic. What could be done with this show is simply not being done. You have a great cast who does the best they can do with the script, but until the writing is improved, "Crumbs" is on a crash course.The first step to improving this show is to get rid of that laugh track. My God....if your not going to film it before a live audience, then don't use fake laughter. Plus, the volume is so low it sounds like people are laughing in the next room or something. Sort of a bizarre use of canned laughter I think.

yossarian100 CRUMBS would be just another witty SitCom filled with odd characters, except two of those odd characters are Jane Curtain and William Devane...and that's the only reason I need to become a viewer. William Devane is a seasoned professional who can do anything from serious drama to light comedy and Jane Curtain is an icon, Mrs. Conehead, and a Saturday Night Live legend. For that reason alone, CRUMBS is a no risk bet for a thirty minute comedy and the first episode proves it. Jane Curtain is already over the top, the writing is fast and cute, and the general premise of the show is oil and water don't mix but there's no reason not to keep trying. All I know is I laughed, you may laugh too, so give it a try.
