Awesome pilot...feels more like a movie than a TV show...hope they can continue that...

"http://tvovermind.zap2it.com/nbc/love-bites-nbc-worth-the-wait/60648 I have to say, I really enjoyed the premiere and I’m down to watch the rest of the series. What immediately stands out about the show is its format, as the premiere was three interlinking stories with a common theme (tonight’s was “first” with plots involving virginity, being fired, and cheating exemptions) and some similar cast members. The anthology series is very unique to American television and it works well for the type of show Love Bites tries to be, as having the three connected stories highlights the themes of interpersonal interconnectedness that the show hinted at in its first episode. It helped to fully realize the world of the show and while the tone of Love Bites was pretty cohesive, having that many different stories and voices just made for a cool watch. The cast, though, sold it to me lock, stock, and barrel. The writing may be pretty good and the vibe of the show may work well, but in the span of an hour, we got to see Newton be magnetic and mesmerizing, Krysten Ritter be witty and interesting, Greg Grunberg be kind and charmingly awkward, and Jennifer Love Hewitt be natural and endearing, as well as entertaining performances from Pamela Adlon, Steve Howey, Lindsay Price, Kyle Howard, and Craig Robinson. While several of the cast tonight are one shot deals, Newton and Grunberg are among the main cast, so we'll get to see their arc as well as see how that fits in with the guest stars."

Between this thread, the one about Chaos, the one about Happy Endings and the one about the Paul Reiser show, it may be time to admit that you simply have an addiction to horrible television shows and seek professional help.

i'm a sucker for romantic comedies...what can i say...

I knew the reviewer was full of shit when he described Krysten Ritter as "witty and interesting"

[Edited on June 3, 2011 at 1:49 PM. Reason : also when he used the phrase "interpersonal interconnectedness"]

What is it, yet another vampire drama/romance/comedy?

6/3/2011 2:05:56 PM

no vampires...god i can't stand true blood...if my taste in tv shows sucks, then go tell that to the millions of viewers of that show...

True Blood being a trashy soap opera doesn't make this show any less terrible.

As usual, Sepinwall hits the nail on the head:

"it's exactly as it seemed back in that excerpt last spring: a bunch of actors I like contorting themselves through wacky romantic and sexual hijinks done without a lot of style or comic polish, with an occasional amusing moment coming from the likes of Robinson or Larry Wilmore. I have no need to come back for more. "
