    It's itself, and it's an abundantly silly, if very lightweight, show.... But so much of watching Angie felt like watching the most popular show from another country, one where the only jokes come from puns and sight gags, and spilling something is considered high humor.

    It's a shame that the marathon viewing of Angie Tribeca exposes the show's weaknesses. Does goofiness hold up in a 25-hour block? Or does the shtick wear too thin? Angie Tribeca's shtick was never particularly thick to begin with.

    Credit Jones and MacArthur with wringing about as much mileage as they can out of scenes where the two are thisclose to kissing before experiencing some spectacular interruption, but there’s only so far one can go on jokes that feel so well worn.

    This unlawful and disorderly conduct is brought to you by Ford.

    After a satire of tough female role and blatant product placement in just    This unlawful and disorderly conduct is brought to you by Ford.

    After a satire of tough female role and blatant product placement in just five minutes, it's clear that Angie Tribeca doesn't follow normal procedural rule, or any coherent rule for that matter. However, it does follow in the footstep of Naked Gun, while this is nice since the slapstick comedy hasn't had any addition for a while, there are some lingering crude moments that might just be too unsavory for the comedy to properly work.

    This is a psychical comedy in heart, mocking the cop shows in an unapologetic fashion. Honestly, it's rather expected that a parody of CSI and the likes would appear. Angie Tribeca has some good moments, it's nice to see this kind of brash humor once in a while. The nifty parts offer funny approach and commentary of the typical more serious shows, a few surprising guest stars like Lisa Kudrow or Alfred Molina is oddly appreciated.

    The main problem is the jokes used are heavy-handed and repetitive. This might be fine if said jokes hit the mark, something like the bits with the dog might be fun to watch, but if it fails then audience is left with one or two long minutes of seeing the same joke ham-fisted over and over again. Most of the humor comes from physical, played in the exaggerated manner to draw any interest or attention, but also inconsistently thrown out there.

    Angie Tribeca mainly has a few ideas of humor and shoots them wildly and eccentrically. When it hits, it could be highly entertaining, but if it doesn't audience is left with graceless drunken exhibition of slapstick, but the all-in attitude might just work in their favor.    … Full Review »

    If you did, then don't watch Angie Tribeca. Writer Steve Carell was apparently inspired by shows like The Naked Gun, yet this show is to The Naked Gun what being gang raped by an overzealous gorilla is to cupakes. Honestly, this is the biggest pile of badly written trash that I have ever seen, and I've watched EVERY Adam Sandler movie.

    The sight gags are so obvious you can see them coming before they've set up the gag, the word play so pathetic I found myself cringing at every supposed 'pun'.

    This show is not witty, or clever, or even slightly amusing. After 3 episodes, I have not smirked once, let alone laughed out loud, and I will laugh at almost anything.

    According to Carell, there hasn't been a show like this since The Naked Gun. And judging from Angie Tribeca, it will put the absolute final nail in the coffin of this genre for good.    … Full Review »
