Sometimes, the TV allows us access to good shows. Some other times, TV gives us crap. Although I do not particularly love the cast of "Committed," I found it shameful that talents were wasted on such a production.
"Committed" is one of those shows that networks would put in a recycle pin, or "on the shelf," because it is something that needs a lot of work. However, it is not too bad that they would cancel its existence. This particular show does not offer any intellectual process or depth of thought. Instead, it is accumulates all kinds of clichés and over-seen situation into one frame. In other words, "Threes Company" seems like an intelligent show in comparison with "Committed." And unlike any other funny TV shows, such as "Grounded for Life," "Still Standing," and some others, the funny jokes are not spontaneous and do not have anything new for an adult to be amused by; furthermore, the situations were built on silliest thoughts and assumptions that a real person would fall into.
The character development in "Committed" is committed for deterioration of mind. There is no development whatsoever, and the plot does not enhance itself. It is even worse because there is no one to advance or make the plot viable (almost plot-less). Sadly, "Committed" is nothing but a draft for TV.
The only reason I watched this show is because of three actors, Jennifer Finnigan, Tammy Lynn Michaels, and Darius McCrary (you have to remember him from "Family Matters"). Those are three actors I respect and adore, but, unfortunately, their talents were completely wasted here. Finnigan, the protagonist (also famous for her role in "Crossing Jordan") is such a pretty gal, but in "Committed" she is most annoying and stupid character with a shrieking voice. T.L. Michaels is a babe, if you remember her in "Popular," and she plays a helping character who is a nanny. McCrary is someone I was hoping to see more of his work, but being a helping character in this show, he is unable to deliver a soaring performance. Otherwise, just watching Finnigan and Michaels is enough to make an effort to glimpse at this travesty called "Committed."
The bottom line is this: the network needed something to fill in the empty slot, so they closed their eyes and randomly selected one of the scripts on the shelves. It is even clear that some elements of this show is similar to "Scrubs" where we see the character "Clown" being Clown like "Janitor" is Janitor in "Scrubs." Though, do not be mistaken, this show has nothing close to/with "Scrubs." Therefore, watching "Committed" is only watching ages fleeing from our time, and the makers of this show are the ones who should be committed.
