Father Of The Pride

[mikegray]

Is nobody else watching this? I can't find a thread about it. Absolutely hilarious in places, especially the bits with Siegfried & Roy. Very surreal indeed, too, A salami bust of Barbara Streisand and a peperoni bust of oscar winner Marissa Tomei? are apparently what they have for dinner when they go out. :D

It's being discussed in the USA tv thread. I don't know if there's enough interest to have a dedicated thread

[MetalGearAl]

It's pretty good, worth watching, and lots of Shrek-esque humour in there. I like the Siegfried + Roy theme tune :D

I guess this was on Sky, or maybe just US tv? Was it any good? It got cancelled after not even finishing the first season. It looks quite interesting from the write up on PlayUSA. For £15.99, is it worth a punt?

I enjoyed it, picked up S1 from DVD Soon (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.dvdsoon.com/index.xml^QS^partner_id=10040) for a pittance, reckon it was pretty under-rated. Very funny Tori Amos reference in one of the episodes, too.

I watched the first episode a few months ago and haven't bothered with the rest. Just didn't think it was anything special at all.

I wasn't too keen on the first episode it seemed like it wanted to be a kid orientated show but with OTT sexual innuendo which kinda seemed weird, missed a few episodes but then saw the one where John Goodman's Lion (don't know the name) wants to eat his rodenty friends girlfriend. That was a much funnier episode

Wasn't Donkey in one episode too?

Have seen a few trailers on Sky One and never bothered to watch it.

I was at a party in Berlin the other week, and was speaking to a publicist friend of mine.

The amount of money floating around that production was mind boggling. One person was working for two days a month and getting over 15,000 euros a day!

Other salaries were even more!

Watched most of them, and whilst they were ok time-fillers, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch/record an episode

Not to worry, it's been cancelled anyway..

[Gavin01]

Ive watched a few of them, and didnt think they were that impressive..

Quie dissapointing really as the animation side of it is A1

[internetuser]

the one with donkey in was good from shrek.

it was ok for a sunday night chill out.

last one was on last week on sky.
near the end it got to a chore to watch it, but i kept watching them in the hope it picked up

How long were the eps? About 22 mins? (i.e. a 'half hour')

[internetuser]

yea, all 22 min jobbies so 30minutes on sky

Sky showed them completely out of order, only 3-4 weeks back we had the father-in-law moving in for the first time when he living with them through the whole series. Also in last week "last" episode of the series I spotted his stuffed zebra on the floor and that was destroyed weeks ago.

That's also the order they were shown on NBC - in fact it was bombing so much that they aired the last 4 episodes (well the "last" being the next 4) at the very end of December after a 2 month break (1 on 21st Dec and 3 on 28th Dec) to get rid of them...

Episode listing on PlayUSA shows as pilot and 13 episodes, with the last two being unaired
