First, I wholeheartedly agree about K-Street. It was not so great, because the politicians were mostly horrible actors and very self conscious. Also, I had some moral issues with the whole Howard Dean prep stuff. That being said, man its so sad when people can't see the forest for the trees. Unscripted is certainly an acquired taste, but you've gotta at least respect what they're doing for any number of reasons. First, like Curb Your Enthusiasm, the situations that Clooney comes up with are often very funny. Second, its not supposed to be getting you to "suspend your disbelief". The show is asking you to watch it for what it is: an unscripted, improvised show about three struggling actors trying to make it in Hollywood. Not "reality", but "improvised". Third, this show is so different and it takes risks. Aren't you tired of "reality" TV and lame traditional scripted network shows? There are so few truly interesting and worthwhile shows on television (Arrested Development, Rescue Me, Deadwood, Curb and thats it) so lets try to support something cool.
