Baby Bob (2002)

When BJ and the Bear hit America’s TV screens, people wondered if ‘a trucker and his monkey’ was really the standard of content that the inventors of the television had in mind when they set out all those years ago to create the thing. All these years have passed and we like to think we’re smarter than that now, yet what do we come up with for a new sitcom? A talking baby. Like, it’s not bad enough that there was a movie called Look Who’s Talking that dealt with just that – but how about the six sequels? And Baby Talk, the TV spin-off? For crying out loud, this concept has been beaten to death, tied to the back of a truck, dragged along seventeen miles of steaming hot blacktop, then backed over a few times, fed through a mulch machine, dispensed in sacks as compost, then sprayed with fertilizer. It’s DEAD! Yet they keep on dragging it out and somewhere in America there’s a group of people with PeopleMeter’s who WATCH this garbage. And what of Adam Arkin? Doe she really walk into the deli on Friday and hold his head up high as others around him nudge each other in the ribs and say “that’s the baby show guy… ooh, he looks like he’s seen better times…” Has Joely Fisher no shame? I mean, yeah, she has a nice ass and not a lot of job offers but to appear in this drivel? Think of the children, Joely! And why would Elliott Gould appear in this garbola? On a bet? To top it all off, the baby is CREEPY looking!
