‘The Ranch’ Trailer: Ashton Kutcher And Danny Masterson Reunite For New Netflix Comedy Series
So far Netflix has had a pretty good track record when it comes to their original programming, whether it’s dramas likeHouse of Cards, comedies likeUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, or animated series likeBoJack Horseman. But just like Pixar stumbled after a long series of fantastic programming, Netflix seems to have finally lost some steam.
In addition to the nostalgic cash grab ofFuller House, Netflix is getting a little old-fashioned with a new multi-camera comedy series calledThe RanchstarringAshton KutcherandDanny Masterson, and it has one of those annoying laugh tracks to let you know when it’s time to laugh at the terrible jokes. But the only difference is that there are no censors to hold back the language.
WatchThe Ranchtrailer after the jump.
After you take a gander at the awful writing on the show, it should come as no surprise that the show hails fromDon ReoandJim Patterson, executive producers of the abysmalTwo and a Half Men. These jokes feel straight out of the ’90s, with the artificial-looking sets that go along with it, almost like the jerk uncle in your family made a TV show. Netflix is really going for that lowest common denominator crowd who loves all those bad CBS comedy series.
That ’70s Showstars Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson starring in this show makes sense since they’re not doing much else career wise, but surelySam ElliottandDebra Wingercan find some better work. He’s such a fine actor and he really deserves better than this. And this is certainly not what I want to seeElisha Cuthbertdoing, knowing how fantastic she was onHappy Endings.
Anyway, if you feel like punishing yourself and truly feeling like a fool,The Ranchpremieres on Netflix onApril 1st.
