Animal Practice (2012–2013)

Just another lame attempt at a funny sitcom

[3/10 · 12 August 2012]

I feel as though this show is unoriginal and kind of a rip-off of other shows (specifically that of Scrubs). It's difficult to watch a new show when it seems like they are trying far too hard to replicate another one (a more successful one at that). The humor is goofy and kind of screw- ball--they are trying too hard to be funny. It's fairly obvious that Scrubs is the inspiration for this show. It's like they are running out of ideas so they take on one that is absolutely ridiculous--a veterinary clinic that takes on the seriousness AND status of that of a hospital. The subplots are unoriginal and already, after just one episode, predictable. Yes, it's cute to see people taking the lives of animals so seriously (I am most definitely a pet lover and would do anything to keep mine safe but I also understand the importance of human lives OVER animal lives and it makes it difficult for me to take a plot like this seriously). Also, as I said before, the humor is goofy and screw-ball and they way it is delivered makes me want to slap each and every actor/character. I just feel as though this is a failing attempt to make another lame show that will be canceled after one season. Please don't make me endure this show for longer than absolutely necessary. Nice try guys, maybe next time.
