Mulaney "Pilot"

There's not a lot of live audience sitcoms starring stand up comedians like there were back in the day but a few to say. Seinfeld, The Cosby Show, Raymond and The King of Queens to name a few come to mind. There's a series that premiered Sunday called "Mulaney" that has a sense of Seinfeld.

The show opened up with John Mulaney doing stand up in front of a live audience before or after taping the show. He does stand up about three times in the episode, about the same amount as Seinfeld did in it's first season.

We see John and his roommate Andre at the doctor's office.. John wants some anxiety pills for his job interview with a big television comedian star, Loyd Cannon, but doesn't want to ask for them instead he puts that he has frequent urination.

As soon as he sees the doctor and tells him about it, it turns out to be serious to the doctor and had John bend down with his elbows on the bed.

We also meet Jade, another of John's roommate, comes in arguing that she isn't crazy. She argues that her ex boyfriend has emailed his new girlfriend and told her that Jade was crazy.

She wants closure from it and finds it that in another email that she read from her ex that has him and his girlfriend arguing about Jade and how she's not a problem.

Two big stars are on the show, Elliot Gould, who play's John's neighbor, a very clam but weird guy who kind of helps John with his problem. He's kind of like a guidance for him, to say. Also Martin Short, plays Loyd Cannon, who has that Martin Short comic all over.

In the pilot, John gets a job that he wants but it doesn't turn out the way he thought it was going to be. There were a lot of funny moments, mostly between John and Martin and John and his roommates and friend.

It's sad that NBC decided not to pick up this series. Seems like they lost another soon to be hit series to another network.

I really enjoyed the first episode of "Mulaney" it's just down right funny. The cast is impressive to watch.

It seems that FOX has a really good sitcom once again as they have other hits like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, My Girl and The Mindy Project.

It's a sitcom does have some classic reference, if you just watch it, like Seinfeld and Cosby Show. It could be Seinfeld 2.0.

You can catch new episodes of "Mulaney" Sunday nights at 9:30/8:30c on FOX.
