More Schneider thoughts


Is his first name ever said? Or is that his first name?

Also, in this series or the original, is it ever explained why he is such good friends with one family in his building?

I thought they said his name was Dwayne in one episode.

I'm not sure what his first name is but this actor is not funny at all.
Not sure if it's the writing or maybe he doesn't have comedic timing.
Not sure if casting him was a wise pick. I hope his part improves.

I think it's the poor writing, and the actor tries to hard to milk the poor writing for a forced laugh. It's not working.

However, he's a hot guy with a great body - he needs a show where he can have a decent script with great comedy (and more shirtless scenes!).

Yes, his name was Dwayne in the original.

He is somewhat physically attractive (he's definitely not repulsive), but he is an annoying hipster. But, even though he hasn't grown on me yet, I finally get that updating him to a hipster perfectly parallels Harrington's macho casanova. But, again, he mostly annoys me.

It's Cosmo! 😀

I find him annoying also. I never liked the unmanly man character types.

He has grown on me. Basically I see him as a player with a heart of gold.

But I speak from the perspective of having seen the entire season 1. I cannot help but feel that a number of comments were made only after a few episodes.

I have seen the whole season also. I just can't stand wimpy male characters.

I've seen the entire season as well and feel the same as Catnip86.
This actor is either not a natural at comedy or the writing for his is just awful.

In the original it's Dwayne. In this one it's Pat, presumably a tribute to Pat Harrington, who played the original Schneider.

In the original he has a thing for the mom. In this one, probably because he grew up in bad family situations.
