Super Fun Night: Discussion Thread

Super Fun Night

Junior attorney Kimmie Boubier (Rebel Wilson) and her two best friends Helen-Alice (Liza Lapira) and Marika (Lauren Ash) have had a standing date every Friday night for the last 13 years. They even have a motto for what they call “Friday Night Fun Night”: “Always together! Always Inside!” However, Kimmie’s recent promotion throws a monkey wrench into the tradition. Not only is she now working with her idol, “Lady Lawyer of the Year” Felicity Vanderstone (Kelen Coleman), but she meets a dashingly handsome British attorney, Richard Lovell (Kevin Bishop), who invites her to his party at a trendy club. Determined to spend time with Richard and heed Felicity’s advice to network, Kimmie sets out to convince her friends to take Super Fun Night on the road. “Super Fun Night” stars Rebel Wilson (“Pitch Perfect,” ”Bridesmaids”) as Kimmie, Lauren Ash (“Lars and the Real Girl”) as Marika, Liza Lapira (“Don’t Trust the B—in Apt. 23”) as Helen-Alice, Kelen Coleman (“The Newsroom”) as Felicity, Kevin Bishop (“Star Stories”) as Richard.

“Super Fun Night” was written and executive produced by Rebel Wilson. Executive producers are Conan O’Brien, David Kissinger, and director John Riggi (“30 Rock”). “Super Fun Night” is from Conan O’Brien’s production company, Conaco Prods and is produced by Warner Bros. Television.

This is another show I'm definitely hoping is good... I heard the pilot wasn't the greatest but not a lot of comedy pilots are (save for Modern Family) so hopefully it finds its footing plus Kelen Coleman is in it so... I'm ready for this show as well.

This was a show I wanted to see when it was a CBS pilot last year, so I'll definitely give a try.

This looks hilarious. I was so mad CBS passed on this last year. This would have been a great companion for Big Bang Theory. I'm glad ABC picked it up.

LMAO! Thanks for posting the trailer Toups!

I don't get the premise of this show. Every week there will be geeky fat jokes about the three friends? That does not work for me.

Um... I think this could be funny without all the corny fat and sex jokes. Rebel Wilson is very funny, but I don't think this is the right vehicle for her... if CBS passed on this, then there must have been a good reason why.

That said, I don't think the show deserves to be placed after Modern Family... adult comedies have fared badly behind the show (i.e. Apt 23, Happy Endings). They need a family sitcom (one that is actually funny and not niche) to be placed behind MF... and this show isn't it.

I really liked the first episode! There were a lot of funny lines and the physical comedy (the elevator scene, the sing off at the end) was hilarious.

This is such a bad rip-off of BBC's Miranda.

Me too! I still feel CBS shouldn't have let this go. This would be a decent companion for TBBT.

It sure as hell didn't work for "Babes."

I found it okay, but it probably would've been better on CBS as a multi-camera show. I didn't like it as much as a single camera comedy. This is the type of slapstick that works better with a studio audience.

If we are lucky, this will die a quick and painless death. Awful! Just awful! Cliched garbage!

Still mad they skipped the pilot, it better air at some point since I only want to watch it for Kelen Coleman.
