The Crazy Ones: “The Intern” (Episode 1.11)

I don’t know how it does it, but The Crazy Ones continues to be one of the most boring comedies with one of the most amazing casts on the air today. I’ve always thought that maybe the problem with The Crazy Ones was the abundance of Robin Williams, but even in “The Intern,” where he barely shows up, it’s still as bland as can be.
I think the larger problem at hand in The Crazy Ones is that all of the characters in the show are still mostly unknown to us or have one main attribute that defines everything about who they are. Even worse, the show is starting to introduce guest characters who by the end of the episode, we know just as much about as we do about the main characters.
This week, Ashley Tisdale shows up as new intern Kelsi, the daughter of one of the company’s biggest clients, Laster Lunchmeats. So the team puts up with her as she complains about her new roommate, spends time on her phone and shows up to work late every day. The team tries to appease her by solving her roommate drama, in which they go to a Jewish frat, play beer pong and convince the roommate that she should take the smaller of their two rooms since smaller is cooler. But frankly, who cares?
