Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLaurie Metcalf opens the episode with a nine-minute monologue, reminiscent of her famous speech in the Broadway production of Lanford Wilson's A Balm in Gilead.
- GoofsAt the very end of the show, after Sarah leaves, and Uncle Pete says something and sets down a glass of beer to Horace. The camera cuts to a wider shot of Horace at the table and there is only one glass of beer there.
After listening to Louis on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, he stated that they filmed that part with Uncle Pete first, because the actor, Alan Alda, was leaving town for the week. So, I get the reason of why they couldn't fix it since they were publishing the episodes right after they shot them.
Featured review
Where's the show?
This series has great actors and writing, enough to put up with for just being shot in a bar. This episode, as good as Laurie Metcalf's performance is, is a bore fest. To hear someone drone on about pretty much nothing - for the whole show - while an excellent cast isn't even involved is awful. I paid to see the comedy Horace and Pete with Alan Alda, Steve B., etc., not a one or two man dialog that isn't fun or funny. I turned it off halfway through but will purchase one more episode to see where this is going. Any more of this crap and I'll move on. I don't understand the prior excellent write-ups unless some viewers don't expect what a comedian, who wrote and directed this, should be putting out on a consistent basis - comedy. If you think about the worst episodes in sitcom history they were always the serious ones - but after it has been on for years. This show is only three in and already going to that.
