The Crazy Ones is finger licking good tonight! |

Tonight at 9p an old account comes back to life on The Crazy Ones. I can’t put my finger on it, but this is the best episode of the show’s run so far.
Thanks to YouTube, one of Simon’s (Robin Williams) first ads, Mr Finger, is popular again and now the company wants to bring him back. So Roberts & Roberts find Mr Finger (Ed Asner) and he thinks that Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) has a crush on him. That will lead to a very awkward moment between the two of them.
Mr Finger isn’t the only one back, Roberts & Roberts silent partner, Gordon Lewis (Brad Garrett) comes for a visit. He is there for two reasons, one to get away from his husband’s juice cleanse and the other to find out about a mystery client. That mystery client is a used car dealership and they can’t have two of them. The first one was their first client and he doesn’t make any money, so Gordon wants them to drop them. Simon doesn’t want to do it, but reluctantly he agrees to do it. So Roberts & Roberts decide to help him go out with a bang and sell all of his cars. Which in the process gives us this amazing photo of James Wolk as seen below. And that isn’t even the best thing you will see on this episode. Imagine Brad Garrett driving a convertible Miata, it is as awesome as you think it would be. What is also awesome is the interaction between Williams and Garrett.
So tune in for an episode that gives you a finger.

| He looks
Before Robin Williams was sent from Ork to explore Earth on Mork & Mindy, he was an Earthing exploring Earth on The Richard Pryor Show. Even when he was 25 in that 1977 sketch comedy, you could tell he was the comedic genius he is today!

You’ll be crazy for The Crazy Ones! |

When I was a little girl, I watched a show called Mork & Mindy and developed a crush on an actor named Robin Williams. Now I am grown woman and that love is still there. So when I heard he was coming back to TV on weekly basis in a show called The Crazy Ones, I went crazy for the idea. Then I watched the pilot as soon as I got it and I have watched it more times than I count since then.
I am so happy that tonight at 9p on CBS, you will get to see this show that I can’t stop watching over and over and over again. Not only because Robin Williams is in it and because it was created by the brilliant David E Kelly, but because it is a feel good show that everyone can enjoy and fall in love with it. It is what Robin Williams is, that lovable guy who just makes you smile when you see him and/or think about him.
On tonight’s season premiere the top advertising agency, Roberts & Roberts, is fighting to keep their account with McDonald’s and all the fast food chain wants to do is fire them. So the unorthodox and charming Simon (Williams) reminds them of that warm feeling people got with the You Deserve a Break Today campaign and tells them they should modernize for today’s consumer. Well that feeling when you hear the music that was in that real ad and the smile the images brought to your face when you saw them, well that is the emotion you will get when you watch this show.
Or maybe it is just the way that Williams plays Simon. Now Simon runs the agency, but he is not the only person who works there or on the show. Simon’s daughter, Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is the creative director and she’s much different than her dad. She is much more serious and by the book. She is the Yin to her father’s Yang and it because of that the company is still around. And it is their relationship that will keep you turning into this show.
Then there is Zach Cooper (James Wolk) who is a young Simon, he is suave, charming and a lady killer. It is for all of those reasons that Simon has made him his right hand man and when they are together you know that there is going to be trouble. And sometimes trouble can be a good thing.
Lauren (Amanda Setton) is the assistant and she has fallen under Simon and Zach’s spell and Sydney tries to keep grounded. It is also her naïvety that reminds Simon who he was and who he is.
So today they will all get together and try to save McDonald’s and somehow Kelly Clarkson becomes the meat in their Big Mac. So be prepared to see a different side of her tonight. A side, I personally love and hope she considers taking on.
So as McDonalds once said “You deserve a break today”, so why not get it with The Crazy Ones tonight and every Thursday 9p on CBS.
The best way for me to sum up this show is that back when I was a senior in high school, I had to decide whether to major in advertising or journalism. So I watched a movie called called Crazy People, and I majored in Advertising. Then when I graduated, I went into journalism and never looked back. That is until I watched the pilot for The Crazy Ones and now I am suddenly unsure if I made the right choice to not go into advertising.

Robin Williams might not be computer savvy |

Robin Williams is gearing up for the premiere of The Crazy Ones on CBS tomorrow at 9p and that means doing press for the funny sitcom from David E Kelly. Well since the last time he was on television back in the very early ’80s, things have changed. Now doing internet chats on Reddit are a common thing and looking at this picture of Mork, using a computer might not be something that is part of daily regimen?
Seriously this picture was so cute that I just had to share it with you! And don’t forget to watch his show tomorrow night.

Robin Williams is returning to TV on September 26th in CBS’s The Crazy Ones and he has been sharing some pictures from the set. The latest one is the cutest one of them all as he showed himself holding his newest co-star, a duck! If that is not the sweetest thing you see all day, I don’t what can top it.
BTW I hope this means that The Crazy Ones will be doing an Aflac like episode.
