Really, NBC ? You are bragging about those numbers…….
So let me get this straight, Parks and Rec got the same numbers or better this season in that time period and NBC says it might not be renewed, yet 1600 Penn warrants a press release. Wow. One word: Denial.
Wow, pathetic…
All their saying is Up All Night enver got a 1.6 on that timeslot, all season 30 Rock never got higher than a 1.4 and since november, this is the best they could do ….other words, not even Parks has been this good since november.
If anything, it just further states how bad NBC’s Thursday lineup has been the past few years.
shamefully people are not watching the best Comedies on tv today and yes i’m being serious
i think that 1600 Penn is brilliant with its brand of acting and comedy .It will take awhile for some people catch on because a lot of other comedy shows tell people when to laugh with the use of the artificial laugh machine I bet if those shows didn’t use them they would be off the air a long time ago .
To go with the over baring Skip Character, a canned laugh track would be truly awesome…this is a weird show funny premises, good looking set, all the actors except Skip seem to be trying to deliver a normal show, then you got the guy playing skip it’s like if Chris Farley motivation character was a regular on The West Wing, and as Chris is bumbling around and falling and breaking stuff the President and the rest of the staff try to do their thing and act like what he is doing is normal, it just doesn’t work
