I thought his last show was pretty good!

I have to admit that we enjoyed Robin Williams last sitcom "The Crazy Ones." The set up was that he was the head of a famous ad agency that he ran with his daughter Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is unlucky in love even thought the perfect guy is right under her nose in the doufy guy from "Old Christine" who plays her best friend. They had the really gay guy from Mad Men who proposed to Joan playing a player who banged everything that moved and who was Robin Williams protege. Plus the sterotypical hot dumb but smart working girl secretary for the plebs. Typical sitcom memes but it was pleasant. The best part was the last three minutes where they played bloopers where Williams and the cast would riff off mistakes and word play that could be really funny.

I had boycotted Robin Williams for a long time after he started hanging with Whoopi and spouting the normal commie Hollywood bullshit. He was just too manic for me. My comedy tastes run to guys like Rodney Dangerfield, Buddy Hackett, Jim Norton and Nick DePalo. So I would change the channel when one of his movies came on. I sort of put him in the dude from MASH Sandinista slot in my television viewing.

So I was pleasantly surprised to see him in this show and was really disappointed when it was canceled.

What a waste.
