“Partners” is a sitcom with a laugh-track that forgot what decade it is. Unfortunately for this show, we’re no longer in the ‘90s: TGIF sitcoms are a thing of the past.

It’s terrible. Martin Lawrence and Kelsey Grammer should be embarrassed, and Grammer actually directed the pilot (yikes!).

I was done with “Partners” after the first five minutes into its second episode; really, I was done from the very beginning of the first episode. The jokes are bad, and they’re delivered sluggishly; it’s just not snappy enough to provide correct sitcom timing. And the lines aren’t picked-up quickly enough. If the actors did a better job of picking-up their lines, then they might have been able to distract me from the lack of humor. They need to act the part, at least. Come on. I guess they don’t care, because I’m sure they knew that “Partners” was DOA when they read the first script.

Verdict: Horrible

About: (Source: partners)

Allen Braddock and Marcus Jackson are two attorneys with very different views on the law. After getting fired from his father’s prestigious firm for employing questionable tactics, Allen (Kelsey Grammer) is forced to team up with Marcus (Martin Lawrence), a self-made man always willing to fight for the people of his neighborhood, even if it doesn’t mean collecting a check. When the two partner up, they take on cases that challenge their moral, personal, and ethical boundaries, but always manage to find common ground.
