"Pilot"
As soon as I saw the commercial for this show, I knew it would be a big hit. I think Rob Schneider is one of the more likable people around, and putting him in a position where he has a chance to really use that as a strength. More so than that, he's actually pretty funny and i'm glad he has his own show now.
Rob is a show following Rob Schneider and his wife Maggie are newly married and little does Rob know that Maggie has a large Mexican family that isn't exactly fond of him and Rob must do all he can to win them over. Now, that may not be a synopsis of the series or how it'll be, but certainly how the first episode went.
The series also stars Cheech Marin, who of course is famous for his part in the Cheech and Chong movies and duo, but he's been funny well after those movies and he adds some great comedy to the show as he plays the father of Maggie. The sit down talk between him and Rob, shown in the pic above, is really funny and probably the one thing that made the episode stand out.
The series seemingly will hang in the balance of Schneider and Marin and their banter together, which can be seen as a good and bad thing. They've also got a sidekick of sorts for Rob that goes by Hector, who is also a part of Maggies family. He provides that "unwanted" family member who forces a relationship between himself and Rob.
This show has a lot of potential, it certainly did tremendous in the ratings and will probably continue to do so. The CBS lineup is certainly stacked, but Rob seems like it'll fit in just fine. In terms of a letter grade, i'd give this a B+.
