Package Deal (2013–2014)
1/10
Return This Package To Sender!
3 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I made myself sit through five weeks of this because nothing else was on and because I really think Harland Williams is funny. I have seen him in other shows and performing as a comic on TV and he made me laugh almost every time. I'm not saying he is awful in this because he is not the problem with this show but not even he can make me laugh on Package Deal because nothing on the show is funny. Who is writing these shows a brain dead monkey on LSD? The last episode I watched had Harland Williams strip naked in a court room to get a girl to forgive him. The thing is nobody in the entire court even reacted. Even the bailiffs just stood there. I figured maybe in this world public nudity isn't illegal (in that case why was it a big deal he would strip for the girl in the first place?) but the end of the show has him get arrested for begin naked so what the heck is going on in that courtroom? Earlier in the episode he let a girl in his brother's apartment and she stole everything. How is it possible for anyone even a team of people to steal absolutely everything from someone's entire house in one night let alone with someone sleeping in the next room and on top of that it's an apartment building in a big city with other people all over the place. But she couldn't just steal a few valuable things she had to steal all the furniture and books and pots and pans I guess because that is funnier. I think they really blew it with this show. Much like Satisfaction the lead actors are not funny. Harland Williams is obviously funny but when you only write crap for someone they can't turn it into gold, Jim Carrey couldn't even make this stuff work. It's a horribly bad premise where for some reason two brothers in their forties don't like their thirty-something year old brother's beautiful, successful girlfriend (why????) and cause problems for them. None of the episodes have made me laugh once, all of them are full of logic problems like the ones I just described, every single joke is very predictable, and it is the type of sitcom that was done many years ago and much better on American TV. Why does this show even exist?
