Twenty Good Years (TV Series) Pilot (2006) User Reviews

I found the pilot interesting and a great display of John Lithgow's talents

If you liked John Lithgow in 3rd Rock, then you will like Twenty Good Years. I saw, what I believe to be the pilot, on an airplane a few weeks ago and I couldn't stop laughing. Although this isn't an alien family trying to adapt, the talent of John Lithgow comes through just the same. I don't know the other gentleman in the show, but he was a great straight man for the show.

I found the premise of the show, two old guys trying to keep their lives interesting, intriguing. I think that there will be many opportunities for excellent episodes by simply taking every day situations as story lines. Most people will enjoy the one-liners which seemed to keep coming and they seemed to be in relatively good taste.

If the series is produced as well as the pilot I will be looking forward to this show every week.

Today's television doesn't have enough good comedies and I'm glad to see this one come along.

Enjoy!

Worst New Show of the year

[Bennie3o3 · 1/10 · 16 October 2006]

I thought networks executives watched shows before they aired them. This show might be worst show of this century. NBC should be ashamed of this show. While Samantha Montgomery, Sung Suh and Hugh Webber are credited with writing this silly show, the blame must go to NBC and executive producers: Eric Gold, Marsh McCall and Jimmy Miller for not reading the script before it was produced. I pray that this show uses a laugh track(which is dreadful) because I would worry about any group that laughed that loudly and much at this sad show. Special credit must go out to Eric Gold and Jimmy Miller who have easily produced the two worst shows of 2006.
