The Unfiltered Ramblings of a DVR Addict

To be completely honest I didn’t expect much from Jay Morh’s comedy Gary Unmarried.  But I was was coming on Wednesday nights, and I didn’t have much else to watch so I gave it a shot.  I have to say I was plesently surprised.  The show was funny and witty/  To top it off it really captured Jay Mohr’s brand of humor which I’ve always enjoyed.  All that being said I still didn’t expect it to last past the first season.  So I was once again pleasantly surprised when it was picked up for a second season.

The show revolved aound Gary, played by Jay Mohr who is recently divorced as he is trying to juggle his kids, his carreer, his ex-wife played by Paula Marshall and her new husband brilliantly portrayed by Ed Begley Jr., and his sexy new girlfriend played by Jamie King.

This DVD set is a pretty great set for the first season of a sitcom.  It of course includes all the 20 of the episodes from the first season, and a decent amount of extras that are all worth viewing.  My favorite of which is the short feature called Planet Begley in which eco-friendly (that’s an understatement) cast member Ed Begley Jr. brings all his eco-friendly nuttiness to the set.  It reminds me a lot of Ed’s great reality TV show Living With Ed.

If you are a fan of this show are are interested in a good laugh, do yourself a favor and pick up Gary Unmarried: The Complete First Season.
