Perfect Couples (2010–2011)

Vance Is Axl, New Pornographers I Knew It!

[5/10 · 3 April 2011]

This show got a little better as it went along, which isn't saying much, but it's already being pulled from the schedule (April 2011). This show is not as bad as the stinker that followed ABC's "The Middle" on Wednesday nights, titled "Better With You" (apparently canceled also). But speaking of "The Middle", I had to go do a little research to make sure the actors playing Axl on that show and Vance on this show were not related. They look eerily alike and their comedy acting is identical. Someone should team them up to play brothers in the future, or teenage and twenty-something versions of a single character. It's weird! Also, the second I heard the theme song for this show, I knew it had to be a New Pornographers tune. I was close as A. C. Newman from the New Pornographers wrote and performed this tune. Sadly, it's the best thing about the show. What is with all these shows like this and "Traffic Light" on Fox and that rotten "Better Wtih You"? Are they all just trying to be "How I Met Your Mother"? That's setting your sights low!
