Tina Fey Embraced “the Sandler Model” for New Show ‘The Four Seasons’: “Actors in Nice Locations, Wearing Flat Shoes”

[off topic?]

Steve Martin tells a story about the first time he met with Carl Reiner after Reiner agreed to direct "The Jerk." It was the first script Martin had written and he was nervous about what a comedy legend like Reiner would say about it.

Reiner goes through the script and gives it back. the only changes are that he made every outdoor night scene into a daytime scene.

"I'm an old man. I don't want to have to stay up late anymore."

Just finished watching it. Immediately gave it a shot because of Tina Fey's involvement but there are a few other actors that I also love so it should have had a lot going for it (from my perspective).

But wow, I did not like it. There were a few moments where I laughed out loud in the first episode but I didn’t laugh for the remaining 7 episodes.

The story was also really meh. For me it was just watching a friend group doing things with little to no connective tissue. Which… yeah, I get that it’s two episodes per season which is the whole gimmick of the show. But I couldn’t get invested in any of the characters or their lives because all the important stuff happens in the months that are off-screen.

Unsolicited mini-review over hehe
