Synopsis

Committed is a television sitcom that aired on NBC as a midseason replacement from January 4 to March 15, 2005. Although originally broadcast twice a week the series eventually settled in a regular timeslot on Tuesdays at 9:30PM EST after Scrubs. The show starred Josh Cooke and Jennifer Finnigan and costarred Darius McCrary, Tammy Lynn Michaels and Tom Poston. Cooke and Finnigan played two single and extremely eccentric New Yorkers who are subject to constant interference when they begin dating from their equally eccentric friends and Finnigan's roommate, known only as "Dying Clown" or "Clown" who was actually a clown, played by Tom Poston. The show ran for 13 episodes. Clips and fan-generated montages can still be found online, but no official DVDs have been produced.

Console best movie i've ever seen.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
ekawalaski 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.
thedoctor98 It's like the writers went looking for the worst, most obvious "jokes". Part of me thinks they're going for the "it's so bad it's good" angle, but then the laugh-track seems to indicate that it's so bad, it's bad. Bad acting, bad writing, bad directing ... it's overwhelmingly bad. Why inflict this upon the world? I don't know. Tom Poston appears, he was average in the Bob Newhart show, and yet suspiciously he comes up in other shows. Not sure why, he's not funny or talented. This is not politically incorrect, but it's humorously incorrect, too. Possibly an 8 year old wrote it. Doesn't explain why the actors wanted to be in this. They're attractive, there's no doubt about it, but they're just untalented. There's so little talent in this, I couldn't understand it. Don't watch this and then the movie "Airplane" (/ "Flying High") ... you'll realise just how bad television has become. Sad, but true.
Thorfin39 The double meaning in the title speaks for itself..It's not your typical comedy/romance sitcom.. What I like about the show is it's not afraid to take a poke at political correctness gone mad.. It has a British comedy undertone, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's where the idea originated from.. It reminds me a bit of a hybrid crossing of Father Ted comedy series shown in Great Britian and Canada and a Norman Lear type production in the wake of All in the Family.. While Committed isn't as shocking, it certainly takes stabs at places television tends to avoid these days because its not safe..I fear it won't last, if only because of the double meanings will be missed by a vast majority of viewers.. And some of the double meanings have the propensity to offend. That in itself is not a bad thing.. sometimes we need to be offended in order to realize how ridiculous some things are.. The story lines, while somewhat predictable at times, work because of the great chemistry the cast seems to have developed, including some great cameos early on.. I love Todd as the protaginistic, wheel chair bound third wheel, no pun intended.. Tom Poston is he usual dry self that works against the shtick back drop of the main characters.. I try never to miss the show.. and ensure my PC records it for my viewing pleasure.. If you like something irreverent, I highly recommend it.. If you are easily offended, be forewarned.. the show gets close to the edge of the envelope..
drysocket For a show made up of complete chaos it is surprisingly funny and kind of resemblant of real life when you do meet that person and it makes you crazy. OK, well maybe not so crazy, but still an OK show. I like how not everything is spoken just like in real life and how the people are just so nuts you can help but wonder what they are going to do next. This is that completely off the wall comedy I've been waiting my whole 17 years of life for. The illogical ramblings and crazy antics of these two characters is just to good to pass up even if it isn't you slice of pie, you have to watch it once just to see how crazy it is. Plus, the dying clown in the closet is about one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television, because you just don't get that crazy what the heck is that even in there for stuff out of regular TV. I give this show about a 7 because even though I like it, it is probably to intensely dense for some people.
