Synopsis

Four guys who carpool to work every day come to savor their commute as the only safe time to commiserate about jobs, families - and secrets. Even though "what happens in the carpool stays in the carpool," they'll go beyond the boundaries of this fast-moving commuter confessional to get involved in each other's lives and develop friendships.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
steve-4019 Last night I watched the episode titled "The Seminar". Frankly I was confused what the working relationship was with all of the characters. One is a dentist but seems to be an employee of a company that treats their staff like high school students. The whole premise is so unrealistic that the viewer cannot even concentrate on the plot line. Making matters worst is the fact that the writing for this series is awful relying on uninteresting clichés and tired plot lines. Within 30 minutes the show managed to: 1 - Introduce pornography to a newly married couple and the office where the main characters work 2 - Establish a prospective home-buyer making a decision to purchase based on the perception that the neighborhood and their real estate agent was a "swinger" 3 - Introduce a 1990's Sexual Harassment seminar and officer who was so far out of bounds that each employee would have sued the company 3 - Tagged an employee literally with a flag on their cubical as "under investigation" for sexual harassment 4 - Included the obligatory midget into the plot line for no apparent purpose 5 - Suggested a real estate agent would give away more than $2000 in espresso machines to anyone who visit her open house 6 – Force into the show a character that does an awful imitation of Napoleon Dynamite and another who is a whinier adult version of Steve Erkel 7 – Stereotyped all men to look like immature sexist idiots 9 – Not introduce a single likable character 10 - Make the primary plot line that the lead character (a dentist) would have sex with the sexual harassment officer (please)The best part of this show is the shows musical introduction which I will down load to my ipod so I do not have to endure another episode of what I consider to be the worst sitcom I have ever experienced.
Phill_E Every year, shows come out that are well below par (Most coming from the ever-so spontaneous Fox network). But when I finished watching the okay show Cavemen, I came across this show and realized that Carpoolers is not one of them. This show is another comedy that is basically about nothing (Like Seinfeld), but still remains original and funny. Which is nice, because you can still pick up where you left off if you didn't see the last episode. But more serious than sitcoms where you just listen to a laugh-track playing after stupid jokes. The jokes are more appreciable, things you can remember, instead of being funny for the moment, and then forgetting it 5 minutes later. Even the plots are funny in their own way.The movie centers around four guys and the time the spend sitting in their car, working, and hanging out at home. Gracen, a married man with a 'napolean dynamite' style 20-something kid, is the sensible one of the group. Though smarter than the rest of the group, he is witty, and is hilarious when pointing out the mistakes of the others. Always having to deal with his son weird antics, and the fact that he isn't as young as he used to be, he still manages to be funny in his own way. Always assuming the worst of things, he really relates to some of the older people watching the show.Laird, the divorced cool bachelor is always on the prowl. Looking for girls and telling stories of the never-on-screen times he has with his one day girlfriends. Definitaly the dumbest of the group, he still charms everyone and keeps you wanting more. He is best friends with Gracen, and they really do make a dynamic duo. Aubrey, the married father of 7, is the basically the slightly happier version of Debbie Downer or Negative Nancy. He always brings up his problems at home into the conversations, yet manages to humor things up when he tries to escape from his home life by getting into other things going on around him. Doug, the newly-wed with a baby, is my personal favorite. The newest to the car-pool, he is still adjusting to the weird habits of the group. Always commenting the others obvious mistakes, he still gets sucked into what is going on while trying to be accepted. This is a new and refreshing show and should be given a chance.
dread_chgo This is like a Leslie Nielsen inspired comedy in that so much is happening in the background and the actors are so unaware of their actions that it is nonstop funny. I laughed so hard throughout the show and this upset me a little in knowing that I missed jokes that came immediately after.Along the lines of a "40 Year Old Virgin" or "Something About Mary". All I can say is try to TIVO it so you can go back and forth and catch everything because it moves quite briskly through the dialogue. The best thing about this show is that none of the actors are really known so it will certainly be a fresh approach to comedy.This is certainly not for everybody, but for those that can appreciate offbeat humor at a quick pace, this is your show!
rochelle-rochelle If you are a fan of Arrested Development and The Office, then you will most likely love this show.This show was a pleasant surprise. ABC doing a 1/2 hour sitcom. Wow. I didn't think ABC knew how to do that anymore, but this show is fresh, funny, creative, unique and entertaining. It's about these four men that carpool to the same office park together. I don't think they work in the same office, though, from what I could gather from the Pilot. It also shows tidbits of their home life to explain why they are the way they are in the car.This is not your typical "sitcom", and there is no studio audience. The writing of this show is very fresh, unique and creative and it's not a bunch of shtick that you see on most sitcoms. It's truly realistic, awkward and interesting. Each character is a unique stereotype that you can relate to, and their facial expressions and reactions to events are spot on terrific.I like the direction ABC is going this season, and I look forward to watching more episodes of "Carpoolers" to see how the character's lives develop from what they've set up so far in the Pilot.I rate this show an 8 out of 10.
