Amateur Hour
"Nathan Farley, an overzealous family man and self-styled community organizer, guides his twenty-something protege and aspiring actor, Christopher Carmichael, through post-graduate life with the help of the eccentric locals and some big dreams."
"Set in suburban New Jersey, the pilot sketches out its backdrop with affection and detail, bringing its main settings to life while also establishing a number of story spheres... there's a palpable tight-knit community feeling in the episode, with a sense that everyone knows each other, and that atmosphere is welcoming and charming. Another strength here is the script's comedy, which is plentiful and entertaining. The script smartly uses multiple kinds of comedy, from physical to character-based to references, and that makes for a well-rounded sense of humor. It's also refreshing to see a show that's unafraid to be silly, something rare in today's television landscape."
