    Real Rob has elements of “Louie” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm’s” heightened reality, but the only thing that sets it apart from its predecessors is that it’s not very good. Unfunny scenes are broken up with equally unfunny stand-up.

    Ultimately, though, Real Rob’s undoing is in the doing too much. Schneider’s mixing too many elements from too many shows, so he’s unable to update them in any way. And because the cast is so small, Schneider ends up spreading himself too thin.

    Did the world need an inside look at the life of Rob Schnieder? No, it did not. But that's what we get with "Real Rob," a new half hour seriesDid the world need an inside look at the life of Rob Schnieder? No, it did not. But that's what we get with "Real Rob," a new half hour series from Netflix. I applaud Netflix for trying to produce a bunch of original content in different styles with different people, but this didn't work for me. It was painfully unfunny at times and hard to take Schneider seriously, even though he tries to set himself up as a Louis C.K. or Jerry Seinfeld with this series. It doesn't work.… Full Review »

    Funniest show I've seen in years. Just finished the last episode in season 1. Can't wait for the release date for season 2. I don'tFunniest show I've seen in years. Just finished the last episode in season 1. Can't wait for the release date for season 2. I don't understand the negative reviews. This show is not for a stuffy, uptight person. But if your down to earth and are just looking for a half hour of light hearted, super funny comedy then you have to watch this show. I promise after 1 episode you'll be hooked!… Full Review »

    I loved this show. I am not a huge television person. I won't be comparing it to other sitcoms, I will be judging it on it's own merit. AllI loved this show. I am not a huge television person. I won't be comparing it to other sitcoms, I will be judging it on it's own merit. All these bad reviews, somehow wanting it to mirror another show you liked, and coming away disappointed, therefore missing the coolness that it really is. I laughed, I laughed a lot. I have constant 24/7 pain from a spine injury, and laughter was what I needed to get through my day. This did it. I can't wait for more. Rob and those in his life, are all part of a mosaic that creates the healing salve of laughter. Sounds like you all need a mug full of it.… Full Review »
