This show has moments that will actually make you laugh.
Am I the only person who thought Carpoolers was funny? Come on, this show was a lot funnier than it had any right to be. Maybe it’s just Jerry O’Connell – it’s like he carries the whole show. The other guys are funny, but the scenes with Jerry really pop. I had no idea that he had such comedic timing!
The way he sits in the car, totally resigned to his fate as a carpooler; the serious intensity in his fight with the new Carpooler; his total commitment to getting the best spot in the parking lot, and then dropping that commitment on a dime when an equally good spot comes up. I rewound my DVR three times to watch his face change from fierce competition to “Oh there’s another spot,” and thus leaving his fellow Carpooler alone in the dust on the hood of a competing car. It’s classic.
I’m not saying this is a good show. I’m just saying that it’s highly watchable, and that’s all because of Jerry. I’m not even a huge Jerry fan in general, but he really brings it in this show. You gotta check it out just for him.
