He fits the tone of the show perfectly.<br /><br />My favorite scenes are when he become overly effusive in his personal opinions in moments no one else cares to hear, or his touch of super-sentimentality.<br /><br />His rambling to Kristin Wiig about his girlfried problems, or his comment that he'd like a colonic, etc.<br /><br />There's something about the way Schwartzmann talks that cracks me up.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-41567591727795676892009-09-28T21:55:10.953-04:002009-09-28T21:55:10.953-04:00I like this show so far.

I like the "noir" atmosphere, and all the cheesiness.<br /><br />I've also always been a Ted Danson fan and so far he's cracking me up in this role. I loved the rubber gloves. <br /><br />I also enjoyed the box of love notes :)DeeTVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-59136096879082730382009-09-28T19:06:37.510-04:002009-09-28T19:06:37.510-04:00If only this show had been written about the Ted D...If only this show had been written about the Ted Danson character!
