    Azaria created and fully embraces "Brockmire". Amanda Peet steps up word for word. Surprised by the funny take of the young actor playing his Internet producer. Nice balance and both bring out a soft side to the lead character. Looking forward to seeing where the season leads and glad it has already been renewed. Happy to see on Amazon Prime - perfect for binge viewing. Loved it!

    The pilot episode of "Brockmire" made me laugh out loud more than any episode of television comedy has in over decade.

The first two episodes are fairly well structured stories but still manage to be surprising and they are just really damned funny. Hank Azaria somehow maintains his comedic baseball announcer tone throughout without it becoming annoying or troublesome even in the more earnest moments. Amanda Peet does a solid job as always and remains one of the most loveable screen presences around. Tis may be the best comedy on TV in a decade.… Expand

    I don't know how anyone could not like this show. From the hilarious, heartfelt performances to the brilliant script that's a mix of laugh out loud funny and raw emotion, I seriously have not connected with a show the way I connected with Brockmire in a long time. Whether or not you like baseball, the bottom line is you'll love this show.

    It's good enough. Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet do their thing, and it works.
    The show has some week spots, but Hank Azaria cranks out a couple of funny performances that makes it worth my while and keeps me interested.
    I just wonder whether the show can go further down that lane without getting repetitive and boring.
    But let's wait...

    While it's not for everyone, this is a very funny and clever take on what was a one off bit for Azaria a few years ago on Funny or Die. Azaria's Brockmire is extremely funny and extremely crude. Seriously this show is not for those who can't stand numerous sexual references and, being on IFC, they are able to get away with a whole lot more then on regular cable.

And they definitely push that boundary as far as they can. Amanda Peet is still one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood and she does a great job here. There's already been a second season ordered for this show and Ive felt like it was one of the best comedies in quite awhile. Again, though, this is not for the faint of heart.… Expand

    The mock on sportscasters and how they talk with that phony voice is enough reason to watch this show. Hank Azaria plays his character very well. Here's something from his past you may remember...

    This one goes out to Bart Simpsons, signed, I am coming to kill you, sloowly aaaannnnd painfully! ... check that. that was Harry Shearer.

    While not every moment works, Brockmire the TV series offers a world worth visiting, and characters worth rooting for, even when they stumble.

    When Brockmire is in the broadcast booth, Azaria’s arias of baseball lore are mesmerizing and witty, but the show also relies too frequently on jokes about Brockmire leaving the microphone open during embarrassing moments.

    Brockmire gets off to a very funny (and very vulgar) start. I don't know how long the premise will hold up, but it begins with a lead-off hit and scores multiple runs.
