14 DAY TRIAL // It was amazing news to hear that super funny lady Rebel Wilson had finally landed her first sitcom, the executive-produced Conan O’Brien “Super Fun Night” but, after the first reviews, perhaps a change in direction is what the project needs to stay on air for as long as possible.
“Super Fun Night” premiered last night, on October 2 but, so far, reaction to it hasn’t been good. In fact, many media outlets, including E! Online and the more prestigious LA Times, believe that, if this show continues as it is, it won’t live to see the end of the first season.
A trailer for it is embedded above, in case you missed it.
Wilson plays a junior attorney who, though having sworn to spend every Friday night of her life at home with her friends, is forced to try out nightlife because of her incredibly attractive boss.
The sitcom, like most roles Wilson has played, aims to push boundaries and to prove once more that appearances are not everything in life.
Unfortunately, it fails at doing that, becoming instead a sum of clichés. These two aforementioned media outlets note with disappointment that Wilson’s character is only defined by her weight, lacks intelligence, personality, or even likeability and, as such, is probably already condemned to dying a slow painful death in the ratings.
