Reviews

betch9 This show is not worth the time. The acting is pretty bad and the story line is just over the top. The kid graduates college but can't/doesn't want too/won't join the real world. The writing is really predictable and not funny. I've that a lot of the dialog is improvised which explains the lack of wit and really nonexistent story lines within the episodes. This show may hit home with some but if it does you probably will find it and his friend 'Dub' funny. I wouldn't expect it to be around for long as it has no redeeming qualities other than Fox proclaiming it the "funniest new show." Saying it as much as they like won't make it true. Production dollars would be spent better elsewhere.

th3w0z As an Arrested Development disciple (let's all pause for a moment of silence), I was shocked at how funny this show was. I just caught an episode and the first thought that popped into my mind was how ridiculously stereotypically the best friend was (the crazy party animal). But I let that go and continued to watch and before I knew it I was holding my sides. All of the character (in the same style as AD) are uniquely crazy, except of course for the lead kid. The story seems very 'real'; you quickly forget how crazy the story is and get caught up in the characters. There are some great one-liners, and with the absence of a laugh track, you don't feel nearly as dumb watching this as most other sitcoms. Watch this show- I'm hoping that it makes the big time because it was very enjoyable.

Indie_Mod Ever seen the classic "Ordinary People?" Remember when Conrad is dealing with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with his brother's death? Remember "Stand By Me" and the main character's missing his dead brother as well?It's not like any of these.It's much more like "Orange County." The main character, Nate (Josh Dean) came home from college. He's had a change of plans in terms of what he will be doing. His parents' marriage is on the fritz and they're going through marriage counseling while making inappropriate comments to Nate. Nate's old buddy (sort of) named Dove is like an imitation Jack Black('s character in Orange County). Only one episode has aired, so we'll see what happens to the series... I have a feeling it won't last too long, but for some reason, Josh Dean's character made me chuckle. Why was I watching Fox anyway?

jak2103 I just watched the pilot and second episode and I have to say I was impressed. I'm typically hard to please when it comes to sitcoms, so I wasn't expecting much from "Free Ride," thinking it would be another, typically dumb FOX attempt at the genre. But I actually found myself laughing from the very beginning. Most of the jokes were subtle, which might be an acquired taste, but I appreciate it. More importantly, the drama was subtle too (a la "The Office," a huge favorite). I was also impressed by the acting, since I'd really never heard of any of the cast. In all, it was funny and surprisingly real. "Free Ride" is definitely worth a test drive.
