“The Goodwin Games” is a
comedy that was essentially canceled before it ever even aired. FOX picked up
the comedy about three siblings who have to return to their small New England
town after their wealthy father passes away and perform a series of character
building tasks in order to inherit the money he left for them. It never found
its way onto their schedule until the last week of their regular season
programming. How’s that for a “don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way
out”?
This is a pretty high
concept comedy that has a pretty low concept approach to it. It’s a little
difficult to warm up to because while you’re watching it you wonder, what is
the end purpose here? Meanwhile, the show itself is really pretty simple. The
three siblings are very different. They all do stupid things and learn from
them, like in almost any family sitcom. So what it comes down to are their
personalities. Do you want to spend time with these three people?
