[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved the original film, so I had low expectations for this series. Mainly I watched it to see Vassar campus and[b] Beacon, NY[/b] scenes (DC is currently at Vassar).

It wasn't horrible; there were some funny scenes, but I had to completely separate it from the original film and consider it on its own (otherwise, it wouldn't hold a candle).

Most disappointing was the Tina Fey and Will Forte dynamic. Their situation was painfully accurate, but felt like a missed opportunity for these 2 talented comedians to be playing a pathetic bickering middle-aged couple.

Agree that the gay couple felt a little too campy/cliche. [/quote]

Let's hear it from my Beacon peeps!  (And good luck to your kid at Vassar!)

I liked it a lot.  Steve Carrell is a really talented actor -- makes me a little sad he stayed on the office as long as he did, where I think his talents were kind of wasted.  I was a little frustrated with the Tina Fey/Will Forte dynamic -- I really wanted her to be nicer to him.  (My spouse is something of the opposite of a Will Forte, and I think I felt jealous of her being with this dopey sweet guy who just wants to do nice things for her even if he isn't super competent all the time.)  And the young GF did a really good job being charming and giving her character some depth.

Now I want to watch the original.  I absolutely ADORE Alan Alda, and have since I was about 4 years old.

About an hour after I saw it, I suddenly thought of a really sticky legal and/or ethical problem that the ending poses.  I dont' want to say it outright, because I don't want to spoil the ending, but those of you who saw it might be able to guess what I'm thinking.  What a mess!    [/quote]

Yes! It will depend. Hopefully, he worked with professionals who put that in as a matter of best practice. That could be one of the themes in season 2.  [/quote]
