And Larry David, who was recently divorced...

And Matthew Broderick...

mitchcumpstein: And Larry David, who was recently divorced...

having said that, I think it's a brilliant idea

She must have strong armed the producers.

I believe the point of having her on the show is to fill the seat of someone who has been divorced. The other two seats are for a person who is recently married and a person who has been married for a long time.

Who better to know about marriages? A Priest?

You get your recipes from Alton Brown or some breatharian?

She's been under more men than a naval toilet.

NBC Show, so that means Leno will want to be on it too.

My girlfriend told me "that's the joke." I still don't quite get it.

She's there as an example of "what not to do."

Hey Madonna! Try not to get married on the way through the parking lot!

HumbleGenius: She must have strong armed the producers.

I see what you did there.

SlothB77: wasn't Alec Baldwin one of the marriage refs? Alec Baldwin. i'd rather be arrested for trolling Yahoo posing as a 15-y-o boy than let Alec Baldwin referee my marriage.

To be fair, Alec Baldwin was married to a nutcase, and you try getting out of a marriage with a lunatic still looking good.

And I think Madonna has only been married twice.

/was married to a nutcase
//had to move

Homer Nixon: My girlfriend told me "that's the joke." I still don't quite get it.

Did you ever notice how men always leave the toilet seat up?

Serious Black: I believe the point of having her on the show is to fill the seat of someone who has been divorced. The other two seats are for a person who is recently married and a person who has been married for a long time.

So it's like the three Eumenides, but without the actual wisdom?

Homer Nixon: My girlfriend told me "that's the joke." I still don't quite get it.



Does that help?

/doesn't really get it either. Why not have Britney Spears do it, then, instead of that gnarly piece of gristle with the fake British accent?

That show looks like total garbage. Are the people allowed to heckle what horrible people the "celebrities" are? That would be the only thing worthwhile to watch. These promos did their best to ruin the Olympics. Fark NBC.

Twice. She's been married twice. So you're close, subby.

sprint99: NBC Show, so that means Leno will want to be on it too.

Leno's been happily married to NBC for over 20 years.

I'm not sure why the number of times someone has been married has anything to do with their ability to be a "marriage ref" on what I am assuming is a mostly comedy-oriented TV show.

It's like saying no Japanese person can possibly give advice on how to win a battle because hey, WWII.

RedfordRenegade: For a lot of people, marriage is like working on your own car.

You are really going to mess it up a few times before you get the hang of it. It may never be *fixed* but you can make it run alright. Sure, it'll cost a bunch, but maybe the next time you'll get it right.

Just be certain your dealing with the right parts, and don't park your car in your wife's girl-friend's garage cause the wife will find out eventually.

Brilliant.

/If it has tits or wheels it will give you problems.

If I had been on this show, it would have lasted :07 seconds.

"why is my marrige failing?"

"because your husband is an asshat"

Thank you and goodnight.

Exactly. I'm glad there's at least one other person in this world that isn't completely brain dead.

So, for sweeps week, will O.J. be on?

Wait, Madonna is on Seinfeld's new show, the Marriage Ref? Hasn't she been married like 37 times?
=====================================

Um, twice. Which is pretty low for a celebrity.

Now if they brought on Mickey Rooney, Larry King, or Elizabeth Taylor... THEN you can use that joke.

Seinfeld is not funny. That interview was more awkward than the one the day before the with Marc Thiessen crying that he didn't get to speak.

This show will limp along through the first season is my guess. Jerry Seinfeld didn't seem too excited about it on the Today Show last night.
weak.

Guys, it's a comedy show. The problems are picked because they are ridiculous and are caricatures of real problems in marriage.

Anything that declares a "winner" in marital arguments isn't taking the situation seriously anyway. Why do the "refs" matter? They're there to make fun of the people involved. That's it. The fact that most of the "refs" have train wrecks for personal lives makes it more amusing.

mitchcumpstein: RedfordRenegade: For a lot of people, marriage is like working on your own car.


A woman is a lot like a refrigerator. About six feet tall, 300 pounds...

No, No a woman is like a beer....

Did I say Today Show?
what day is it? I need a drink. Daily.

Only married twice? Hey that's good enough......*cough*...have we really sunk so low as a society?

Oh man, Guy Ritchie would have been a much better choice as a form of comedy relief. He could clown Madonna every other comment.

In Hollywood? Are they going to have Jeff Bridges on every show?

RedfordRenegade:
...Just be certain your [sic] dealing with the right parts...


Approves.

So, Madonna will be the spokesgristle?

blazemongr: So it's like the three Eumenides, but without the actual wisdom?

A greek walks into a tailor's shop:

"Eumenides?"

"Yeah, Euripides?"

I heard it was a terrible show anyway, so it won't matter for long. Whatever network it's on will be divorcing Jerry Seinfeld very soon.

Seinfield got lucky with 1 hit show because he had good writers. In reality this guy is no talent hack, cant even act, his comedy is mediocre at best. I am sure this will bomb just like everything else he did since Seinfield. Why are we even paying attention to him?

Tom Papa said this on the 2nd episode:

"In the opinion of our show, if you are, been, just got or getting out of marriage, we consider you an expert"

It's just a comedy show, who cares how qualified the panel is

What happened to not taking television seriously?

And Seinfeld who broke up the marriage of his current wife after she had been married for three weeks.

The Aristocrats!

We watched the first show and about fifteen minutes of the second one. It is, in fact, total garbage.

It's supposedly a comedy show - but it isn't funny and will soon be cancelled, so who cares how qualified the panel is.

And just who TF is Tom Papa? The face is vaguely familiar, but how many balding white guys with fake-tan studio makeup trowelled on, are on TV anyway? And what kind of name is Papa - what's up with that?

/my unfunny post is actually funnier than the show

This is what is going on down there. Gross.
