Mohr and Guest Star Lilliard Great Together!

9.0

"Superb"

By hickamadoodle, Mar 10, 2009

I thought Mohr and Lilliard played off of each other brilliantly - the show had some slow spots but some real funny jokes and scenes. I loved when Gary's dad kept quitting when he heard Gary try and convince Taylor to give up painting for a living - how dreary and boring it all was. Mohr and Lilliard had good chemistry and timing and I think they should bring Taylor back as a continuing annoyance to Gary - a guy who is all flash and fancy watches and a celebrity name dropper. This show continues to impress me with good acting and clever jokes.imoreless

Not the worst episode I've seen but not the best either.

7.5

"Good"

By hrgaffney, Feb 24, 2009

The trouble with Gary Unmarried is that it mainly relies on the quality of Gary's one-liners. When these are not exactly sparking the whole episode falls a bit flat, rather like this one. I found the Taylor character a bit annoying and rather stupid and couldn't wait for him to go. Gary's son Tommy was well played as usual by Ryan Malgarini but Dennis didn't get many lines. The plot was fairly predictable and really didn't give too many surprises and the laughs were more limited than in the more recent episodes. So there we have it, average - not bad but not good either.moreless

Gary gets audited.

7.0

"Good"

By thefanof, Feb 19, 2009

Where did they dig Matthew Lillard up from? I don't think I've seen him in anything since Scream, but he was pretty funny here as a smooth-talking Harvard graduate. Bringing him in on a recurring basis could help freshen up the show.

Of course the plot took a generic turn when it was revealed that Taylor was actually broke. Outside of his lines there was very little to laugh at here as the show is really lacking without Ed Begley Jr and Jaime King, who Jay Mohr played well off.

Not a bad show, but only average by Gary Unmarried standards. I guess you cannot win them all though.moreless

- Allison: Well congratulations, Gary. It only took you an hour to reduce one of the most brilliant financial minds in America to a frightened insecure mess who won't put on his underwear. Gary: I'm sorry, I stopped listening after you said "congratulations Gary". So. Thank you.

- Taylor: You don't know what it's like to be the family superstar. You did it right, Gary. You set the bar low for yourself. Nobody ever expected great things out of you and you never disappointed them. Gary: That's the toast you gave at my wedding.

Gary: It's amazing. Check this out. Ivory soap, forty nine cents. Got it at the Big Lots in Tosana. Allison: Can we not compare smells for once, okay?
