Following a 10-year bender, the disgraced "Voice of Kansas City" apprehensively returns to the booth. Brockmire(Hank Azaria) has become a viral sensation ("Keep it Brockmire!"), so Jules (Amanda Peet), owner of a scrappy minor-league team, hires him to restore "the worst town in America."
Lots of local flavor in it just for that. It's interesting how Hollywood thinks KC is in KS. They did have a Sedalia reference though.
Top notch writing and a stellar cast.
Episode one had me laughing out loud. Hank Azaria has found a great outlet for his talents. Amanda Peet is her usual hot self and does bring what the role needs. The absolutely downfall is portrayed humorously and perfectly by Azaria.
Brock ire is a must watch. Amanda Peet's ass alone is with the viewing. When he bends her ove in the broadcasting booth, her ass is sublime. The love/ hate relationship between Brockmire and Peet is fantastic. [Reply]
Feel like this show would have worked 10-20 years ago, but this type of "shock humor" is old hat these days. Are y'all just listening to old Howard Stern shows on Youtube or something? Nothing smart about this show. Thought I'd enjoy the baseball aspect, but I don't. Plus the voice is overkill. Peet is good, Azaria is not. C-
The best comedy on television is Baskets, followed closely by Silicon Valley. [Reply]
Last episode was pretty good. The whole "fuck Butler" angle was hilarious. "The hopes and dreams of small town rural america rest on the arm of a Japanese millionaire..."
