Comments on: SofaChip’s Advance Review of NBC’s “The Philanthropist” with James Purefoy and Neve Campbell http://www.sofachip.com/2009/06/11/sofachips-advance-review-of-nbcs-the-philanthropist-with-james-purefoy-and-neve-campbell/ Not Just for Couch Potatoes Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:30:07 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jessica Rae http://www.sofachip.com/2009/06/11/sofachips-advance-review-of-nbcs-the-philanthropist-with-james-purefoy-and-neve-campbell/comment-page-1/#comment-4489 Jessica Rae Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:27:26 +0000 http://www.sofachip.com/?p=2750#comment-4489 I agree that shows need to have a balance by bringing it a little comedy to a mostly dramatic show. But I think The Philanthropist is trying to do something different. I respect the show, but I'd appreciate some levity. I hear ya, 'Sable! If you're looking for some more comedic shows, I'd recommend 'The IT Crowd' which is a British show, and seasons 1 and 2 (both short) are on Netflix Instant Watch.

Why can't philanthropists have any humor and joy? The characters all seem so down and depressed. During commercial breaks I switched over to a Seinfeld episode just so I could laugh. I think the characters on The Philanthropist are way too serious and robotic. Jesse Martin's character would have been more interesting if he were single and dating rather than stuck in a boring marriage.

Viewers want to see romance and hot looking couples hooking up not just a guy running through the jungle.

Good to see someone saying something positive about what sounds like a really good show. I can't wait to see Krista Allen (@DearKristaAllen on Twitter) on this show. Nice preview of this show.
