Must See: The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret

Not feeling like watching anything in particular, I decided to peruse the selections stagnating in our Netflix instant queue and stumbled upon The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. The description: "This sardonic sitcom focuses on Todd Margaret, a clueless American manager sent to London to promote sales of an energy drink called Thunder Muscle." I thought "Well this could be bad," remembering that awful show about the guy who gets sent to India to manage a telemarketing center. But I decided to try it anyway. After watching an episode of Babar where his mother is killed and he loses his way from the herd, anything would do.

The first actor to pop on screen was someone who looked exactly like David Cross (Tobias). Then Will Arnett (G.O.B) appeared and I knew David Cross was really David Cross, but how in the world had I not heard about a show with these two powerhouses? Maybe it was a flop?

Nope. It was a win. The perfect mixture of slap stick and wit! We've only watched one and a half episodes, but there were laughs enough for days. Poppy laughed so hard we were unsure at first whether she was crying or laughing.

Poppy laughing made me laugh.

Made me think of little Kristin falling over laughing watching the Three Stooges.

Exactly.

I watched two last night. I'm going to keep watching, but I don't know if I'm in love like you guys.

That's sad! Did you see the one where he's dressed like a gentleman?

Did you guys add that picture of Mac and Cheese at the top of your page. I noticed it the other day but forgot to say something.

Ok, I must have been tired when I watched the first two so I rewatched the second one. They are funny. Who is the girlfriend? I know I've seen her in something before. And the gentlemen clothes were very funny.
