  • An OK episode from an OK comedy.

    This was a fairly weak episode of Gary Unmarried. I have seen a lot of Thanksgiving specials this week and this was not one of the best. There were some funy lines, mainly from Charlie, Allison's dad. Now hanksiving is not a holiday celebrated in Britain, but even I could see some of the wasted potential here.

    Allison annoys me totally and Gary comes across as merely an irritating pain most of the time. The children were reasonably entertaining though we didn't see much of them. I can hardly remember the other characters. Come on Gary - let's have something better from you!moreless

    After last week gave us the best episode in series' history this week probably gave us the worst.

    Very few funny lines and for a holiday in Thanksgiving that usually produces humorous special episodes (That 70's Show comes to mind) the proverbial ball was definitely dropped here.

    I did laugh at a lot of Charlie's (Allison's father) lines. His timing was perfect and his dialogue came off as very real and believable as opposed to reading off a script.

    Gary Unmarried did themselves no favors in terms of getting a second season with this episode. In my opinion every step they took forward the past few weeks is obsolete after this.moreless
