‘Anger Management’ delivers an episode that wants to tell a funny turnaround point about attraction, but it ends up being sort of bland.
FX had the big story on cable with the premiere of Charlie Sheen’s ‘Anger Management’, but it was surprisingly upstaged in the viewer department by ‘Good Luck Charlie’. On the broadcast networks, NBC got the Olympic machine fired up a little early.
Desperate! Drug-addicted! Childish! Nymphomaniacal! Self-absorbed! Cocaine-fueled! Demanding! Drunk! No … I’m not talking about Charlie Sheen and his upcoming ‘Anger Management’ on FX … rather Mary Murphy of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ …
So … who got duped into thinking the ten-second Matthew Broderick Honda teaser (which we didn’t *know* was a Honda teaser at the time) was a ‘things-to-come’ sequel to ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ … ?
You know how you can’t pull your eyes away from something horribly wrong? I learned it was called “internal masochism” on ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ a few weeks back. That’s what I think I experience when I watch ‘TaaHM’.
Hokay, I’ve done my duty. I’ve slogged through three episodes of ‘Two and a Half Men’ out of curiosity. My curiosity has now been sated … and it’s ninety minutes I will never get back again.
At least there was a redeeming segment in the premiere. No such luck this week. Was anyone else humming ‘If I Only Had A Brain’ beside me throughout the episode each time Walden came into the picture?
