(I was drifting in and out of sleep, so some of the specifics may be inaccurate, but bare with me.)
1) The manner in which the main character (was his name Tom?) loses his job is completely unrealistic. He shows up late to a meeting, but just in time to hear his boss complain about the company losing money and give his vision for success, pointing out that he will fire people if necessary. Tom then stands up unsolicited and, in a non-chalant way, outlines his own vision that is the complete opposite of what his boss just said. And he's too stupid to realize that he is contradicting his boss, thereby resulting his Jerry McGuire-like termination. No one able to work a full-time job and live in NYC is stupid enough to live this scenario.
2) Jason Priestly plays a friend of the main character who is also married to his sister. So which came first? Were they already friends and then Tom's friend starts dating his sister? - which should never happen. Or did this guy marry into the group and then start hanging out with his brother-in-law so that he could swap guy stories about what he does to Tom's sister... which all guys do... right? Neither scenario works for me.
3) So the main character is a music exec who's job is to discover and sign new bands. He shows up at a show, falls for the lead singer (a female), and then dates her for what we can assume is at least several months, and not once until they break up does the girlfriend/singer ask his opinion about her band. Totally unbelievable. I've got to imagine that if you're in an unsigned band, you can't get within 20 feet of a music exec without constantly talking about new songs or lyrics or asking about getting signed. No way she's sleeping with this guy that long and not pressuring him for a contract. And there's no way he's dating her that long and not wondering if she has ulterior motives.
4) When trying to make the show seem hip by throwing out pop culture references, you've got to make them accurate. It's ok to call Ashley Simpson a no-talent lip-syncher, but it's not ok to make that point and then group her with Hanson. Those guys wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. Their only crime was having bad taste. Completely different league than Ashley Simpson. And I admit it - I'm a Hanson apologist. The first release from their second album - This Time Around - could have just as easily been put into a Black Crowes album and no one would have know the difference. But because it was Hanson and the 12 year-old girl fan base didn't jive with southern rock, it was a flop. This world makes no sense to me.
