What do you think? Do you like the United States of Al TV series on CBS? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*5/16/21 update: United States of Al has been renewed for a second season on CBS.
I hope the United States of Al is renewed. I love it. It is a funny show. Please do not cancel it.
I’ve never liked any Chuck Lorre produced series. Norman Lear he ain’t.
Just another soulless badly scripted bore fest that I’m sure the masses will mindlessly love and it will go on for 8 series, but I won’t be tuning in again.
Agree
Have a series got renewed look at the ratings and tell me how to stop renewed it’s going down and down and down. How much did Chuck Lorre pay do you have this garbage
Another I can’t believe they renew the series. CBS network really really needs to reevaluate what they’re doing. They’re slowly only using one director producer for all their sitcom‘s. This shows this network is in chaos
I love United States of Al. I find it a refreshing change to typical programs. I feel like I get to know a bit more about the Afghan people. It has chuckles at the same time that it’s pulling your heart strings. Great acting. I look forward to seeing it every week!!!
It’awful!
I don’t mind laugh tracks on shows that are funny because I’m usually laughing too.
Here, the laugh track is annoying because I didn’t laugh once. A big swing and a miss for Mr. Lorre. Bye-bye.
Understand where you’re coming from, eating out the laugh tracks the show would be bad. The problem is with Lorre….. He relies on the tracks. I don’t mind laugh tracks but when you’re really over used or used integrations with the situation isn’t funny but it’s serious if this pertains to real life situations and events it’s just out right tasteless and tacky.. Lorre doesn’t understand when enough is enough. He has so many problems with communicating certain ideas and when he does that he uses lots and lots of laugh tracks.
Lorre is very much in love with himself and his shows — as evidenced by his tiresome vanity cards, but the guy is not without talent. “Young Sheldon” is one of my very favorite shows.
If you say so, but when network has limited resources. Then of course show like young Sheldon is the simply lack of creative theme. With CBS network keep adding shows With Lorre name, indicates put all her eggs in one basket. Cbs network doesn’t want hire or use other Producer for their production staff. If you think lorre short coming in using laugh tracks and other low class meals to get people to laugh.Then I myself even is better off doing real life activities to my daily life. In short, cbsnetork is budget in certain producers on hire.lowing budget using… Read more »
