I truly expected nothing. I truly just hoped it wouldn’t be an embarrassment. I haven’t truly enjoyed a network sitcom (outside of Brooklyn 9-9), or any sitcom really, in nearly a decade.
I wasn’t holding my breath. But he did it. He really goddamn did it. Don’t get me wrong, its early, we’re like four episodes in, but I’m diggin’ it.
What is it you ask. Its Alex Inc., its cheesy, its Zach Braff, and its my new favorite show with my old favorite sitcom star.
Don’t doubt me. I know you are. You’re thinking, there’s no way, Zach Braff is a doufus and network sitcoms are douchey.
I hear ya. I agree, but it works.
It works at least in part because it worked last time, when it was this show:
Scrubs was my favorite. I hate cheese, but the cheese factor in Scrubs was perfect and it is in Alex Inc. too. They fully do the Braffian voice-over to tell us what we learned in the episode, and it’s not annoying!
I’m telling you, give it a try. The kid (Alex’s son) is the best part of the show. Its great!
