xiphiasWe've started looking at the reviews of Cardeneo that other news outlets have put out. (We don't do that until we've pretty much got what we're going to say all written).
Um.
It looks like our opinions of the play are MORE favorable than that of a lot of other critics. For instance, I said that the thing WOULD have made an okay episode of Friends, while most other critics seem to be saying that it wouldn't.
Yeah. WBUR also made the Friends comparison, and the Globe said that it would fail as a sitcom.
Look -- the nice thing I can say about the play is that we pretty much all laughed at the funny bits. Which, to me, means that it would be an okay sitcom.
It's just . . . after you left the theater, you didn't take anything with you. Which, again, is fine for a sitcom. So I stand by my claim that this IS as a run-of-the-mill sitcom.
And, sadly, it looks like that analysis is the most positive you're likely to find.
