Listen Up (2004–2005)
Alexander will never escape his George Costanza fame.
26 May 2005
This show got canned and for very good reasons. For one thing, the son and daughter look nothing a like. Of course you'll get that with a lot of shows, but I mean, come on, so unbelievable. One thing I've noticed is shows that have a "show within the show" barely last ("Sports Night," "LateLine," etc.). Of course there was "Home Improvement" that worked well, but the writing was actually good. It had a Perfect story line; with this show, however, I didn't really know where it was going. I think they put way too many eggs into one basket. Too many plots. They put seven seasons of writing into one season.

One thing that may be a factor to this disaster is Jason Alexander trying very hard to escape his role as George Costanza from the greatest show ever made "Seinfeld." Unfortunately, it just may never happen. I think he has over stayed his sitcom welcome and should just move on to making crappy movies like he has been doing before, during and after "Seinfeld." And he really should of gotten a clue after the terrible "Bob Patterson" series which sank faster than the titanic. Don't get me wrong, he is a terrific actor, but sometimes he picks the wrong projects to work on.

Well, it was like I predicted. The show was a bomb and it will be long forgotten within a week if not sooner. This deserves no stars overall, not even for effort.
