But….he can’t act.
Can they be in a relationship? Loved them together in US of Tara.
One can only hope that this means less screen time for Alison Pill. One can only hope.
I was hoping for less screentime for Olivia Munn.
I’m hoping for more screen time for Olivia and Allison
Until the women become closer to real people, and not these laughable portrayals of women, I hope they all get less screen time.
This sounds great! Can’t wait for season 2. Love the cast and writing and I’m a big Oswalt fan, so this should be good.
This and a whole new writting staff, I SMELL “EMMY”…..and a hot steaming pile of $#*%
Olivia Munn plays the most interesting and fully-developed female character on the show.
Did you see him in Big Fan moron? Oh sorry, he wasn’t in Twilight Spiderman has a Hangover thus he certainly cannot act.
