Wrecked

Its better than ABC's LOST. Please bring it back. No other show gives me the best laughs.

Please do not cancel this show! And if you are a fan, Watch on a platform that will support positive ratings! TBS was churning out poop for years... dont let that junk make you pre-judge this show. Lets just say I watched the pilot about 4 times in the first week (years ago).

I must also mention that the talented cast here- from chemistry to individual talent is through the roof. These are some of the best comedic actors you will ever see on screen, and even if you only know the 2-3 HUGE comedy icons, the rest of the cast is also quite accomplished. The meta for putting lesser known actors in tv and movies is proving to pay off for all.

Imagine you are a flight attendant on a plane piloted by Leslie Nielsen and right in the middle of half the passengers complaining and the other half getting wrecked (see what I did there?), the plane goes down. Next thing you know you are dealing with a lot of panicked people on a tropical beach--sort of like "Lost", but with a greater chance of a believable storyline.

Well, Owen, it doesn't take long for everyone to assume their places in this new society. What will be yours? Looking on the bright side (now that the pilots are gone and the one guy who seemed a natural to take charge has perished), will you finally realize that flight attendants have a higher calling?

"Wrecked" also ponders other basic questions, like are people basically good, as Danny (the big guy) believes? Or will the island be all "Lord of the Flies", as the corporate-survival-of-the-fittest woman believes?

It's an opportunity for the survivors to redefine themselves, to reinvent themselves, if they like. Maybe you'd want to be a cop? Or an importer-exporter? It's your big chance.

This parody of survival shows plays with all the usual tropes (it's a trope-ical island, after all) and is not afraid to get silly, though not as silly as "Angie Tribeca". So sit back with a mai tai, put your toes in the sand, and enjoy the comedy stylings of a bunch of misfits who couldn't survive on an island if Waikiki were just over the first sand dune.

Update 6/30/16: After a few episodes, I am enjoying this show, which has a kind of "Last Man on Earth" vibe.

A plane crashes onto a deserted tropical island. The survivors include incompetent flight attendant Owen. Florence and Emma are best friends. Danny is a loser pretending to be a cop. Jess is married to the jerk Todd. Steve is a New Zealander. Pack is tech obsessed. Karen is the survivalist. Liam is the obvious chiseled leader until he gets crushed by the nose of the plane in the first episode.

This is a fun, ridiculous spoof. It starts as a spoof of Lost but deviates relatively quickly. I love all the ridiculous characters and the actors who give it everything. I do miss Ginger Gonzaga who left the show early in the second season. She's a lead actress who formed a duo as Emma and Florence. It's a TBS comedy which lasted three seasons. It's never going to win any awards but it's fun while it lasted.

First The Detour and now Wrecked, TBS has really made a nice investment into a couple of very funny comedies. Wrecked is about a couple of losers trying to lead a group of people on an island after a plane crash. Some of the jokes aren't hard to see coming but the payoff will still make you laugh. I'd say it's just in time for a good summer comedy from a network you really wouldn't expect it from. I'm excited to see what direction they are going to take and it looks like they have a solid cast and writers who can create a story that's better than a run of the mill comedy. Now I've run out of things to say but the powers that be always want a 10 line review and by gosh somebody should say anything about this show.
