How wickedly ironic–and delicious–that Lisa Kudrow’s single season of The Comeback provided the talented actress with enough meat for her to be nominated for an Emmy–after the show was canceled by HBO. Kudrow went for the Anti-Phoebe role after the demise of Friends, demonstrating her spectacular acting chops and range of comic abilities. The show centered on Kudrow’s playing an actress, once the ingénue of the mo… More >>
The Comeback – The Complete Only Season
I bought this show, because I am a huge fan of Lisa Kudrow. However, she just wastes her talent performing it. The production is intended to create a fake reality show of a decadent actress. It explores and ridicules the character, focusing on her pathetic and unlucky life. Too bad the scenes are too long, lots of blabbering, poor script, dull story and unintelligent jokes. You have to search for good takes, because this show isn’t funny at all. It’s everything, but funny. Not surprisingly, it didn’t make for the 2nd season.

They’re airing this show in France (in English).
Having been a big fan of Friends, I was eager to see what they were up to…
It seems that apart from Jennifer Aniston the others are really scraping the barrel.(And even she has her bad moments)
This show makes you want to pull your eyes out. The plot is very thin, even I would say, thinner than “Joey”.
Total dissapointment…

This was purely a money saving attempt by HBO. Carnivale had been such an expenbsive show to produce, some say the most expensive ever, they tried to pull this cheap drivel on us with soso production values and a writer who was mailing in episodes from the latrine.
It’s too bad no stars is not an option here, this show deserves it. Buy this and see foe yourself how much replay value this travesty has. None. A fake reality show following a star trying to regain the spotlight. It COULD have been funny. The acting, pacing, lame jokes, and even lamer inside jokes made this too dreadful to even watch to make fun of. Take the most mundane episode of Entertainment Tonight, dumb it down even further, fire the writing staff, forget all about timing and tempo, combine it with the worst True Hollywood Story ever made, and call it a comedy when it is at most a vanity piece for the star. One star is too much and one season was too much!

Without a doubt one of the worst shows I’ve ever had the displeasure to watch! Lisa Kudrow’s character yaps constantly in a horrific, nasally voice and is so annoying you will spend most of the show fighting back the urge to punch the TV to make the torture stop! No surprise the show was canceled after it’s first season.. but very surprising it lasted a whole season. Don’t waste your money on this show but more importantly, don’t waste your time!

I never saw the show while it was on HBO, but bought this DVD solely on its reviews, Lisa Kudrow’s involvement, and my experience with quality programming from HBO such as Sex and the City. Within the first 5 minutes, I new this was going to be a huge let-down. It was tremendously boring, not the least bit funny, and just plain painful to watch. And then it hit me. Duh! There’s a reason why there was only one season!!!
