The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret: Season One

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret: Season One (2010)
Due to the fact that this newer IFC comedy features David Cross, Will Arnett and Spike Jonze, I had very high hopes for The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Maragaret. The comedians involved in the series alone seem like they'd make for a perfect combination, especially considering how amazingly Cross and Arnett worked together in Arrested Development. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Arnett's character is intense, but stale, as all he does is spout off cheap, incredibly vulgar insults. Cross' character shamelessly lies and lies and lies, and never budges. This usually makes for the most hilarious of situations, but at the same time, it just gets old too. I don't know. The complex plot line and building mystery are appealing, but too many of the jokes and twists and obvious. I pains me to say so, but The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is an unfortunately weak effort put forth by some absolutely brilliant comedians.
