Review of "The Guest Book" 7/15/17 by Suzanne
Airs Thursdays 10:30/9:30 on TBS

This is not a funny show. Everyone acts weird, or goofy, or quirky, but it's just not funny. The cast is great. We see many wonderful guest stars throughout the series. I just think that the show's writers try so hard to be cool and trendy, that they aren't trying hard enough to make it funny.

Greg Garcia wrote the show. His shows "Yes Dear" and "My Name Is Earl" were okay. He also did "Raising Hope" and "The Millers," neither of which was very good.  I guess it's fair to say that his humor is uneven.  If you have some patience, check out this show and see if you like it.

MORE INFORMATION:

Emmy-winning writer Greg Garcia ("My Name Is Earl") is behind this anthology series, a quirky, single-camera comedy that brings to life the many stories Garcia has left in guest books of various rental cabins in an effort to freak out the next inhabitants. While the vacation-home setting, Froggy Cottage, and the characters living in the small mountain town remain constant, episodes features a wide array of actors -- Jenna Fischer, Stockard Channing, Margo Martindale, Michael Rapaport, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Andrew J. West, among them -- guest starring as the house's renters. Recurring cast includes Kellie Martin ("Army Wives") as a town police officer, and Carly Jibson (Broadway's "Hairspray") as a bikini-bar proprietor.
