Carpoolers Technology Venue

As we grow closer to the premiere of ABC’s new half hour comedy Carpoolers, more and more of the major publications are giving there looks at all of the new premieres. Here is what the Washington Post had to say about the upcoming comedy:

“Carpoolers” is just the thing for commuters who, once they drag themselves home after a hard day’s work, want to relive the fun and frolic of gridlock, honking horns, detours and flat tires. Actually — although “Carpoolers” does contain scenes set in a car occupied by four suburban buddies who work in the same vicinity — it isn’t about traffic but rather about the perils and pitfalls of contemporary America. Jerry O’Connell (the poor man’s Steve Guttenberg) is among the stars, but the show is stolen by potential comic discovery T.J. Miller as an overgrown mama’s boy who lives at home, fears employment and spends the day watching reruns in his underpants. It’s doubtful, though, that enough episodes of “Carpoolers” will be produced ever to make it into rerun rotation. (Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m.; debuts Oct. 2.)

So to get you all prepared for next week’s premiere of Carpoolers, I wanted to give you a closer look into Carpoolers which is premiering next Tuesday. BuddyTV looks at the pilot and gives a bit more insight into the episode, more so then we have seen in any promo released by ABC. Here is a snippet of BuddyTV’s look at Carpoolers:

On the pilot episode of Carpoolers, Gracen tells the guys how upset he is with his wife, Leila (Ford), for buying a toaster worth $200. The boys jump in with their own stories, with Laird making a joke about his divorce, Aubrey admitting he doesn’t know how much he earns since his wife handles his paychecks, and Dougie telling the guys that marriage is “a game you shouldn’t keep score in.”

In an interview with abc.com, Fred Goss said that having four characters with different backgrounds engage in a discourse regularly is what makes Carpoolers interesting.

“It’s not like these four buddies [know each other] from college. I think that’s the interesting thing about it… [The men are from] four completely different age groups, and [they have] four completely different family dynamics because of the age differences,” Fred Goss told abc.com. “These guys wouldn’t normally be hanging out together, but because of this hour-long drive they do to and from work everyday they form a bond. It allows the show to go into four different directions… [it’s] multi-generational.”

O’Connell also shared his views on Carpoolers, saying, “It is a comedy, I don’t want to say it’s just based on reality, but its very realistic in the sense that the people you have to spend a lot of time with you normally don’t… We’re sort of forced into this situation with everybody… and I think that’s what makes it so much fun to act in.”

I couldn’t help myself, as the first post here on Carpoolers TV I couldn’t help myself but to post one of the best preview video’s of any show this fall. Enjoy this first video and expect plenty more information on the show as it comes available.
