Apartment 23: More First Impressions

Jul 20 • by Ann • Comments Off • Apartment 23

TV.com has released their first impressions of Apartment 23. Read it below.

The Show: Apartment 23 on ABC; the series is still searching for a home on the network’s schedule.

The Cast: Dreama Walker, Krysten Ritter, Eric Andre, James Van Der Beek, Michael Blaiklock.

ABC’s official logline: “After a naïve Midwestern girl’s big city dreams are dashed her first week in New York, she finds herself living with her worst nightmare in this hilarious, contemporary comedy about a female odd couple who are surrounded by an outrageous cast of characters.”

Early Intel: The series was originally set up at Fox with the much better name of Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23. But then ABC took over and sanitized/shortened the show’s title to plain ‘ol Apartment 23. Executive producer and creator Nahnatchka Khan previously worked on American Dad!.

First Thoughts: Apartment 23 is simultaneously goofy and edgy, assaulting viewers with a flurry of sophomoric sight gags, bizarre cutaways, and pop-culture jokes. Khan’s past work with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is pretty obvious.

What the series has going for it: The comedy has its own appetizing look and feel, and no one is going to complain about it being slow. It also takes full advantage of the single-camera format, hopping from location to location like a hobo on speed. Van Der Beek plays a pretty funny-and-depressing version of himself, and Walker is fine as country girl June who moves into the urban jungle. But the real star here is Ritter, who plays the devilish Chloe with a refreshing cloud of convincing bitchiness. Look out for Eric Andre as the understated Mark; he’s great. And in case you were wondering, the show itself can be funny, too.

Apartment 23 Reaction

Show: “Apartment 23″ (ABC)
The Pitch: Nahnatchka Khan and Dave Hemingson’s script is fairly hard to describe, at least in terms of other things. Normally my notes are awash in logical pop culture comparisons. In this case, it’s a bit like “Friends” if Rachel and Monica were enemies, Joey was actually the successful former star of “Dawson’s Creek” and nobody else existed.
Quick Response: I like Dreama Walker. She was very funny in brief moments on “Gossip Girl” and her scenes with Alan Cumming on “The Good Wife” this season were spectacular. Here, she has a solid vehicle as a wide-eyed Midwestern girl who comes to NYC and falls prey to The Bitch in Apartment 23 (Krysten Ritter), who brings in new roommates, scares them off and collects their deposits. It’s an amusing conceit and the script is is a politically incorrect treat, full of well-constructed one-liners, insults and “Did they just say that?!?” toss-offs. I loved Walker and while I go back and forth of Krysten Ritter (mostly I’m not a fan, but she was so amazing on “Breaking Bad” that she’s no longer the turn-off she was before) she’s in one of her “good” modes here.
