In February, former “Community” star Joel McHale was revealed as the star of a CBS pilot for a sitcom about an old magazine writer who manages a newsroom of millennial journalists.
CBS’s Joel McHale sitcom about millennial journalists looks unwatchable
Did you know young people are online? Crazy.
Today, the first trailer was released for “The Great Indoors.“ It does not look good.
In it, McHale plays an “outdoorsy guy’s guy with a sardonic sense of humor” who is a well-respected magazine writer for a fake version of Outside magazine. He is forced to come back to New York and work with a group of millennials. Judging by the trailer, the definition of “millennial” that the show’s writers are using was cribbed from bad Facebook memes.
The show will air on Thursdays at 8:30 pm ET and 7:30 pm CT this fall. And here’s one bright spot: Christopher Mintz-Plasse, whom you probably know as McLovin from “Superbad,” is in “The Great Indoors.” He looks like he could be pretty funny.
