Season 1 – Brockmire

2017 Comedy List
94% Tomatometer 18 Reviews 95% Audience Score 100+ Ratings
Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet co-star in "Brockmire," a half-hour comedy series that began years ago as a viral short video on the Funny or Die website. The series centers on the fall of Jim Brockmire, a once-famed major league baseball announcer who suffers an embarrassing on-air meltdown caused by his wife's serial infidelity, leading to a decade away from the booth. Older and presumably wiser, Brockmire attempts to reclaim his career, reputation and love life by returning behind the mic, but the setting -- a broken-down rust belt town, home of the minor league's Morristown Frackers -- is not quite what he envisioned. Strong-willed, hard-drinking owner Julia James has a complicated relationship with Brockmire, while whiz-kid intern Charles is simultaneously entertained by and terrified of the new announcer.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald The chemistry between Azaria and Peet is a delight and Brockmire’s ability to paint a revolting picture with words unparalleled. Feb 7, 2022 Full Review Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times Azaria gives baseball's voice a back story, and it's entirely out of left field. Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Emily St. James Vox Brockmire is fresh, funny, and winning. It has good jokes, good characters, and a surprising melancholy streak. Rated: 4/5 Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV Brockmire gives its two leads showcases they've more than earned. Apr 7, 2017 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com You'd think it would run dry of ideas right away, but it doesn't, and the series is as welcome as night games. Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune I don't know how long the premise will hold up, but it begins with a lead-off hit and scores multiple runs. Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Felix R I originally thought of Brockmire as a birthday gift for my 88 year old father. I got him Season 1 ON DVD. He still hasn't seen it, but I'm obsessed with it. I watch it regularly on the IFC Slightly OFF live,channel on Google TV. They run four hours of Brockmire every day, 2 hrs starting at noon, and another 2 hours starting at midnight. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review ivan k How is this show and every actor in it not nominated for Golden Globes and every other award for which it is eligible? It's in the conversation for funniest show of all-time, though you may have to like this style of humor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave d If you like broadcasting and baseball you're love of Brockmire will depend solely on your tolerance for the versatile Hank Azaria.
