    Its Not Funny....

The characters mainly set up pretty silly 3 stooges style personalities that don't work at all and they drag on a lot were you just want to scream OK I GET IT. I watched the recent kidnap episode and just could not enjoy it. I must admit the show has well written plots, that all I can say positively about it. The jokes are meh, the cast is ok, and the overall show is a major pass, you will get a chuckle probably every 3 episodes or not? I don't know the show just doesn't work guys. I wanted to like the show but it was just too hard. I think they bumped American Dad! back on Mondays for re-runs of this show at 9PM, woah, wow....oh ok    … Expand

    Painfully Stupid. Steve Carell did this mess. But it was not Mr. Carell. It was Michael from the 'Office' with help from Dwight and Andy. This form of 'humor' was based on the 'Airplane' movies from the 80's. Maybe 'based on' is the wrong phrase. Stolen from, directly lifted, completely plagiarized. This awful production is what happens when rich celebrities hatch a rotten egg and everyonePainfully Stupid. Steve Carell did this mess. But it was not Mr. Carell.

    A blatant rip-off of Police Squad and its movie, Naked Gun, and a pretty poor rip-off at that.

    Angie Tribeca was painfully boring. It wasn't funny. Groan-worthy, yes. Funny, no. I guess once you've seen a sight-gag police-oriented TV series and movie, you've seen them all. The odd thing is that I still enjoy watching Police Squad and Naked Gun.

    Did you love the old procedural cop spoofs like Naked Gun?

    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.    … Expand

    Oof. Not just a Police Squad clone, but a bad Police Squad rip-off that steals jokes from all over the place (as long as they were written 20+ years ago). So dated and poorly acted.

    This is beyond bad. The only reason I can think anyone gave this a good review is because they love Steve Carrell. I love the guy, but this show is just awful.

    Shockingly bad, cheesy production, stupid script, it's just not funny at all. The gags seem like rip-offs of old movies that did a much better job of them. I like Rashida Jones but not enough to sit through an episode of this.

    I am simply stunned something this bad was aired at all, let alone as a marathon. It was embarrassingly unfunny, unimaginative, predictable and charmless.

    I am baffled that anyone is giving this show a positive rating. I wanted to like this show but I hated this with a burning passion. It burned my eye-balls with bad.

    Im a fan of Rashida Jones so was looking forward to this but I'm confused; does Carell have an agreement with the guys behind Police Squad and Airplane to blatantly rip of their material without fear of being sued? The jokes aren't just similar in a homage kind of way; they are the same. The thing is, only Leslie Neilson and the cast of Police Squad did it so much better.

    I'm a big fan of Steve Carell and i really wanted to like it but i really don't like this show. Whichever way you look at it's just not funny. Naked Gun and Police academy were funny more than 20 years ago. That type of humour has no punch anymore it's too predictable.

    The preposterous humor hits the right notes and offers something different then most traditional sitcom fare. If you’re looking for something fresh and and laugh out loud funny, Angie Tribeca is for you.

    There are a lot of well-worn cop commonalities in entertainment, but five hours of episodes, with wall-to-wall jokes targeting cliches big and small, makes one wonder if the series will have to change course soon, either in Season 2 or later down the line (assuming it gets picked up by TBS). It's certainly not an issue in Season 1, and the depth of knowledge on display actually leads to believing in the series' endurance.

    This sitcom’s battering ram of madcap inanity can run aground when a particular episode doesn’t have an especially memorable storyline, and perhaps Angie Tribeca caters too much to an audience in thrall to the old “Airplane!” style of so-broad-it-hurts humor. From the 1980s’ “Sledge Hammer!” to the more recent “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” smart-aleck cop comedies are nothing new. But in its minute-to-minute pleasures, Angie Tribeca is one big goofy grin of a sitcom. Season 2 can’t come quickly enough.
