As most australians would know, there are some pretty lousy american sitcom comedies, a poor excuse for entertainment and forking out millions of dollars every episode to pay a group of too try hard actors who aren't even funny. For every genuine classic comedy series which has ever come out of the US there has always been at least two lemons, but in a country of 300 million people even the most cliched and forced humour will find a market somewhere, and you thought DAVID LETTERMAN was unfunny.
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT is definitely one of the better american sitcoms to get a run on australian TV, courtesy of Channel 10, but it vanished off our screens during the last half of 2012. The series debuted in the states in 2007, and is now into its seventh series, centred around the groupie live out of each other's pocket lives of two couples and two single hanger-on-erer types RULES OF ENGAGEMENT can be a bit rough around the edges, dare i say bogan-ish, but the characters in the show provide some of the best humour on american TV since the demise of SEINFELD.
My favourite actor in the show is none other than DAVID SPADE, it's not the script he's reading but just his face pulling and body language, the guy is a crack up. He's one of the single hanger-on-erer's, the other one ADHIR KALYAN, an indian-american who was a belated addition to the cast, is also a very funny dude with all his office shenanigans.
The dopey PATRICK WARBURTON, who plays the macho know-it-all who loves every New York sports team to bits, is tightarse with his money and is a glutton for matrimonial punishment at the hands of his domineering wife Audrey, is the best cure for feminazism and is capable of being one very funny son of a bitch.
