The Slap

Although I think I will regret it, I'm going to watch The Slap on NBC. Its only 8 episodes so at least I won't waste too much of my life on it.

I don't have any desire to watch it.

I'll wait too see the spin-off, "The Finger."

The book was kind of ****, surprised they've adapted it for a mini series. Casting actually looks solid as well. Hmm...

The promo looks like a SNL digital spoof.

Nonetheless despite the ridiculousness of the premise the show itself could be decent.

I would of slapped that kid too, then slap the parents, then slap the executives of NBC, for tricking me into watching some Lifetime trailer.

 

[Aspasia]

Never heard of it. But then, I don't watch much t.v.

 

[MacNut]

The promo looks uncomfortable, I don't see this being any good.

 

[FieldingMellish]

It is a tough sell. So they put the catalyst for the drama front and center, rather than have it as something that surprises within the series.

This could be cross-posted with the corny joke thread, but I heard they were spinning off a comedy and calling it The Knee Slap.

Holy crap was that horrible.

Looks dumb, title sounds dumb. "Hey, let's think of one controversial moment and try to write a script and storyline around it!" I'm sure that'll work well. :S

 

[waynerbbx]

it could have been a good comedy. All they would have needed was a different soundtrack, and it would have been hysterical.

 

[FieldingMellish]

Hopefully my last. A Boyz 'n da Hood spinoff called, "The Bitchslap."

That was the best yet. Keep going.

I'm a Thandie Newton fan, so will give it a try.

As high quality as the product values and acting are, a show built around the premise of slapping a child just does not seem necessary. Frankly the premise makes the entire show seem like a meaningless spoof even though there may be a solid story built around it.

Seems like it'd be a decent show if it used an episode called "The Slap" as a pilot and had a different premise and title.
