--Cleaning out some stuff the other day I found a bunch of taped tv shows I'd of taped. One was marked Surviving Jack, before I gave it a toss. I put it in the pile to watch first.
--Not having any idea what the show was about or how old it was I popped it in and gave it a look see.
--Right away I realized while the opening credits were running why I taped the dang fool thing, Christopher Meloni.
--The last time I'd seen him in any thing it was Law Order Special Victims Unit, and I remember thinking at the time I wonder what he'd be like in a comedy. Because in Law Order Special Victims Unit he only seemed to be able to display two emotions angry and angrier.
--Well I'm happy to say Surviving Jack answered a few questions for me.
--#1. was the Fox Network doesn't seem to be able to produce a situation comedy that doesn't dive into potty humor.
--#2. Apparently they also can't figure out that not all parents are whack a doodle crazy. Some parents actually try to communicate with their children. And not by resorting to some whack a doodle game speak and listen.
--#3. And last but not lest Christopher Meloni can be quite a funny fella, when he's not playing a angry or extremely angry person.
--On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd have to give Surviving Jack 5. Mostly because it had a few funny moments. Unfortunately they surrounded by weird Potty humor scene's and quite a few moments of Whack a doodle parenting that just didn't make much sense to me. I really wasn't to surprise that the show lasted for only 8 episodes. I hope Mr. Meloni next project gives him more or a emotional release, and gives him a chance to show that under that angry actor is really quite the funny fella given half the chance.....
