‘Sunnyside’ Canceled From NBC Schedule, Moves to Digital

Change !!!!!

Hollywood clowns figure people will buy anything. (Actually people will) Sunnyside show is a sample of it…so is AOC. There is always Australia or New Zealand.

I really wanted to like it – but couldn’t even get through the first episode.

Damn Missed it! Never could get an episode in – busy working a ton, raising a family in Queens unlike many of our local politicians. The character should have been based on our real councilman Jimmy Van Bramer – would have been a better fit as the cynic, slime ball politico, he could have played himself as the so-called progressive type just to get the votes from a changing demographics while reaping the benefits from the RE developers in his district, pissing off his constituents, with bike lanes and opposing affordable “Phipps” housing in his backyard. In Blissville he neglected this community “Remember the Homeless Hotel Shelters” which are pretty much permanent these days — and his primary occupation is to drum up enough of a buzz for his run for his next political public office — Queens Borough President.

That show was so awful , i couldn’t watch it— good riddance!

The subway ads were enough for me: The demographics of those shown in the photos were wildly inaccurate.

If they wanted to be real New York about it, they should have named it ‘Flushing.’ Missing the geographic mark aside, despite its ambitious mission of attempting to put a comedic spin on the real horrors and tragedies of the American immigration system, the writing and humor was abysmal. This, more than any other reason, is why it failed.

I was bored too. I did not recognize anyone I know in Sunnyside. None of our actual characters is funny not JVB nor any of the local shopkeepers for example but it could have been easy to add a twist to their personnalities to make it funny, and still believable. This was just outlandish.

I saw first episode and found it to be completely uninteresting. No great loss.

Sorry, Jimbo!

Show had some fun and witty qualities but didn’t make it because it was basically trying to bank off of Queens diversity and the boom of NYC boroughs neighborhoods – like the show “girls” did – it did not hit the entertainment bull’s eye of the mainstream. Plus, in the long time locals did like it because it wasn’t Authentic -It didn’t even have an Irish person on the show – none of the bars were from the neighborhood etc. basically it just was exploitation that was easily sellable to a network. Good riddance

With Amazon out and now a failed show to boost your neighborhood now maybe..just maybe you can focus on what the neighborhood actually needs instead of trying so hard to make it appealing for gentrification.

This show was doomed from the first episode. NO ONE WANTED THIS SHOW. If you are a true sunnyside resident you know deep down this show lacked true sunnyside stories. I am excited that this show failed, it was not funny at all not the least bit. Me watching my cat chase her tail was more entertaining. Here is an idea for your failing series include an episode on the goddam bike lanes in sunnyside that no one wanted only the dumb hipster environmentalist, like little JVB, thank god this politician will not win the queens borough president race.

If you had cancelled after four episodes, come collect your winnings.

They really should have produced my suggested episode story line: “The Thumb Tac Caper”.

Oh, gee: I can’t imagine why it was canceled. I guess not enough doofuses around to watch it. People know when they are being looked down on. Jimmy Van Bramer can make his debut as a confused city councilman looking for real work.
