Jeers: Unhitched Can't Keep Up with Jones

Rashida Jones by Carin Baer/FOX
Jeers to Unhitched for squandering the considerable charms of Rashida Jones. The Office alum deserves better than playing a suddenly single woman who spends way too much time hanging out with three male losers in the Farrelly brothers' crass Fox sitcom. And are we really supposed to believe the best the genetically blessed daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton can do is date a succession of jerks and undesirables? Jones would be wise to divorce herself from Unhitched as quickly as possible.

I sat through the first two airings of Unhitched. And you know what? It was not that good. Rashida Jones was the one saving grace, but she was not enough, nor "featured" enough for me to continue watching. Hopefully, she'll get some more Office time in, working under Ryan maybe.

the actors/actresses are all fine in this show, the problem is the storylines, they are trying to make a one show per storyline type show like seinfeld where no one pays attention to the outrageous storylines because everything else is real and funny but the bottom line is that the stories are so dumb that you become uninterested in the outcome

I hope Jones will return to The Office at some point--maybe after Unhitched gets cancelled, which seems likely given its diminishing ratings.

So true...she has a lot more talent than is showcased on this show. BUT THEN AGAIN...this is LA/HOLLYWOOD and we know how women are treated there...if you are not a mega-star then you are merely fodder. Sadly...

This show is beneath Rashida Jones and Craig Bierko. He's great and deserves a much better vehicle than this to showcase his talent.

The show is directed by the extremely overrated and under talented Farrely Brothers. The cast is great especially Bierko, Jones and Majumder. The writing is awful. It won't last. Hope they take the cast and put them in something funny. What a waste of talent.

I disagree only because I don't find Rashida Jones to be that talented or interesting. She's certainly not funny.

Craig Bierko is the only funny thing about this show, and that's not enough to make it worth a third viewing.
