Why Free Agents Got Canceled

12 October 2011 by Jess

Unfortunately, Free Agents on NBC was recently canceled after just a couple episodes. While I liked the show, it was lacking a few things that would have allowed it to get picked up for the season.

  1. There wasn’t enough chemistry between Kathryn Hahn and Hank Azaria. Individually, they were great. They were each funny and quirky in their own ways, and fun to watch, but that they were continually romantically involved seemed a little far-fetched.
  2. The supporting characters were just not funny enough. The assistant, saucy and sarcastic, was too much so, and the boss (Anthony Stewart Head, AKA Giles from Buffy a few years back…) was perverted and funny, but didn’t get enough screen time to actually make it work.
  3. The quirks that made the characters funny were overplayed and didn’t allow for enough depth and character development. While Kathryn Hahn’s character was cute and funny as the girl still recovering from her fiance’s death, the fact that she worked too much and drank too much wine got to where it was defining her rather than being a characteristic to play off of and grow from. Hank Azaria’s character had a little more depth, and more room for growth, but he needed people to challenge him rather than push him around, and he just didn’t have that.

So, while another show bites the dust, Up All Night did make the cut, so that’s some consolation. Will Arnett and Christina Applegate are a perfect comic pair!

It affects chemicals in the body that are involved in the cause of some types of pain. There are many medicines which give you things you need to be ready on your own terms. What doctors talk about viagra or cialis? It contains Sildenafil. Also known as erectile disfunction is defined as the impossibility to attain an hard-on suitable for intercourse. Having erectile dysfunction can no doubt complicate dating. Many men take more medicines later in life and some have sexual side effects that will lead to impotence. Some of medications fuel desire. Certain far-famed medicaments can mean screwing with your orgasm. What is the most significant facts you perhaps know know about this?

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they’re getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
