What do you think of Will Arnett?
I've been watching "Running Wilde" on Tuesday nights. He's very quirky. Have you watched this show? Do you think he's funny? He sure has a zillion TV credits on his resume.

1. I haven't watched Running Wilde
...but I loved him in Arrested Development. I definitely think he's funny.

5. give Running Wilde a try
Apparently it's teetering on the edge of staying the season. Only 3.5 million viewers and they are taking to Twitter to find more.

10. I watched the pilot and found it very lame.
A far cry from Gob Bluth and the A.D. genius.

2. I don't know how he keeps his schtick from getting stale, but somehow he does.
He mostly plays the same character, but so far it hasn't got tiresome.

3. Didn't like him at first, now I think he is hilarious.
Not screaming funny, but as you put it, quirky funny. He can be subtle, maybe that is why I didn't get him at first, because subtle isn't always so popular amongst his peers.

4. I've never watched him in anything before.
So the shtick is new to me. What a voice he has -- altho it sounds like he's probably a heavy smoker. He has done many many voice tracks for movies and shows.

7. He's Mr Amy Poehler to me
Actually, I think he's hilarious. Has "smarm" down to an art.

12. Loved him on Arrested Development and his spots on 30 Rock.
New show promos seemed over the top. Have not seen it yet though.
