Looks almost like an Arsenal UR series Krink that is converted.


At least that is what it looks like to me.

Presumably airsoft, but that's okay.

Little freakier was him waving around a loaded crossbow.

I watched the pilot, and bleh.  I miss Roseanne and the other older sitcoms that respected their characters.

I like Tim Allen, the show seems to be pretty good, may be a winner. The only thing I don't like is the use of a laugh track. I hate it when a sitcom uses laugh tracks, either film it before a live audience, or not, just don't use a fucking laugh track. I'm not so lame that I can not tell the difference between the two.

I'd like to see a show where the reanimated corpses of Tim Allen and Ray Romano fight each other to the death every week.

Fuck those guys. For years they made mint playing pussywhipped, stupid assholes who existed only to show what wonderful human beings their wives were.

On October 2, 1978, Allen was arrested in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport for possession of over 650 grams (1.4 lb) of cocaine. He subsequently pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges, and provided the names of other dealers in exchange for a sentence of three to seven years rather than a possible life imprisonment. He was paroled on June 12, 1981 after serving 2 years and 4 months in a Federal Correctional Institution, Sandstone in Sandstone, Minnesota.[14][15][16] Allen had the Federal Bureau of Prisons Register # 04276-040.[17]

I never knew that about him.

I agree. It's insulting to use laugh tracks. And the one they used was really poor quality to boot.

My wife and I watched and enjoyed the first 2 eps. Had some chuckles, we'll be back.

So far I really like it. He's not as apologetic for being a man in this one either. He's growing in his relationships with his family, while still being an outdoorsy old fashioned kind of guy.

People can change. This is why I believe some of the stipulations on who can carry and who can't is BS. If the law deems you good enough to be in society, then you should be able to carry. If the law deems you unable to carry well.......then I just don't think you belong in the society.

That seems to be the "successful" formula for sitcoms for the last 20+ years.  The lead male is either a helpless sports worshiping neanderthal that doesn't have the sense to take care of himself or he's a pussified Nancy that's constantly in fear of his wife/spouse/SO.  In either case he has to make amends to her at the end of the show for some stereotypical foolish fau paux that he committed.

They make special "firearms" for actors that have felonies. The "guns" are typically molded plastic with fire controls that electrically ignite blank charges or propane. The BATF does not consider these items guns and they aren't federally serialized or controlled. ISS(1/2 way down the page) makes these guns for tv and movies

Here's a 1911.

So it's a show about a manly man, doing something stupid while being a manly man, he hurts the feelings of or otherwise pisses of his woman, and has to apologize to her at the end of the day in order to get home cooked food and nookie.

Sounds like life to me.

That's very close to how Home Improvement and Tim Taylor was.

This new show, I see him dishing it out at least as good as he's getting it.  I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't another one of those "stupid white male" shows.

My thoughts as well.

Sometimes they try to make it out that he screws up, but in the end he's vindicated.
 


Good example:  At the end of the "child protector" episode when his wife was trying to get into the wine cabinet but couldn't because of the child locks.  Hilarious!!!!

Guns - Very good portrayal -   The best one was the wife's ignint comment that the toddler could shoot hisself with a Revolutionary War musket.  He explains the idiocy with that in detail then says, "safety?  This whole gun is a safety!"
