Bookie (2023– )
8/10
Place a little cash on this running
29 January 2024
Well I'm hooked.. it's fast.. funny (sometimes) the cast seem to be having a blast. So what's not to like. Ok. Reality .. check.. As someone who grew up with a relative who in hindsight was a monstrous gambler. The money. It's nowhere.

It's not about the life of a Bookmaker. There are in the "rules" like welching on bets. You don't get another bookie giving you credit or odds if you have stiffed one of the fraternity.

But can't go any further without saying *gambler's* are some of the most time conscious people you will ever meet. Every thing is the next race, game, punt. And that's where the "Bookie" misses a real opportunity. So much comedy could be rinsed out of two guys running, hustling trying to get this bet on, cursing they did or not.

Other thing. Our guys. Costume department mistake, prop department mistake. The guys who are in this racket never miss a mirror. The front you show is what keeps you playing. U As long as you can roll them again. Life's good. It's a thing that swings. Your on credit the whole way.

Our two protagonists. Bill and Bob,Tweedledum Tweedledee. They click. It's a good double act. Scrip and cast are good too. Chuck Lorre can do buddy..man/ child stuff. His phone book must be legendary in Hollywood.

He pulls in some great actors that we love, don't know their names but we feel comfortable when they appear. Wayne Knight. Anything he puts his hat on works. Character actors they used to be called. You can just wheel them in and hey presto. Magic.. it just happens.
