marriage ref

I came home from my vacation last night excited to see two things…The Olympics Closing Ceremonies, and The Marriage Ref. I’m sad to say, that I’m SORRY I tuned in to The Marriage Ref. It was atrocious. Who knew that Jerry could produce such poo poo? It made me sad, because Jerry was the king of sitcom, a funny stand-up, but Jerry in regards to the Marriage Ref–um…not so much.

On the other hand, maybe I set my standard too high, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought…but I just don’t know how this show can sustain a WHOLE HOUR. I hope for the sake of NBC, and Jerry it picks up. I’m giving it another chance (only because first episodes usually suck), but at this point they better perform some sort of miracle…like Jerry shooting fireworks out of his a$$.

She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio.

    I was a bit surprised actually. I thought it would be more pre-scripted jokes & one-liners, but it seemed more spontaneous than I was expecting. Alex Baldwin & Ref Tom were pretty funny. Kelly Ripa… I just kept staring at her creepy skeleton face. Scary! The couples were quirky & funny too. I do agree on one thing… I don’t know how well it will hold up for a whole hour. Oh yeh, Jerry Seinfeld acted like he didn’t want to be there at all.

    “…like Jerry shooting fireworks out of his a$$.”

    … or dunking Kelly Ripa in a vat of acid.

    Doesn’t Jerry Seinfeld always act like he doesn’t want to be wherever he’s being filmed? That’s always my take on him. I found all the Seinfeld alums appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm to be… uncomfortable.

    Very boring. Might have been better if the couples were there to hear the back and forth so they could argue their point back. I think the whole video clip, celebs talk, then who wins was just blah.

    And what’s wrong with having a stripper pole in your bedroom? I have one in my loft. It’s fun ;)
