  Thank God these irascible white guys are coming to give us funky justice.

  • Okay, but seriously? But okay, but seriously? The best balance of charming, wry and concise with just a hint of cynicism I’ve read about anything having to do with anything on the otherwise frequently depressing threads seen on this site.

    I have no stake in your game, but I like you.

• I love Steve Coogan – his Alan Partridge character was pre-The Office and nailed the insecure blowhard persona! He is very talented and I loved Tristam Shandy and The Trip.I wish him well with this project, but it sounds rather dull. Coogan is great at playing “characters” – but I just can’t see him as an ex-cop.

  • Coogan has done enough awesome stuff to coast for a little while if he sees fit. If the show is decent, I wish him well with a big payday. If it turns out really great, all the better. I know I’ll be tuning in because Coogan is in it.

• This is the pilot with Greg Grunberg in it I think. Coogan and Grunberg playing brothers? Yes please.

• I’m sick of Brits and Aussies stealing jobs from American actors when the opportunity for Americans to work in England and Australia and Canada is not reciprocated. That’s it, I protest. I refuse to watch shows with foreign actors until they change the laws and Americans can work in Canada, England, Australia and where ever else is black listing American actors, writers and directors. Call me a patriot but the line needs to be drawn.

  • Stealing jobs? They don’t burst into Hollywood studios with guns demanding to be cast you know.

    Why do you only mention England though? Don’t you know that England is part of the UK? Ignorance like yours is a common trait in patriots though, so keep avoiding those evil books.
