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.

Brockmire insinuates itself as the series goes on, elevated by assured, compelling performances from Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet -- and a raw humor all its own.

The chemistry between Azaria and Peet is a delight and Brockmire’s ability to paint a revolting picture with words unparalleled. Go to Full Review Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times 04/05/2017
Azaria gives baseball's voice a back story, and it's entirely out of left field. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 04/05/2017
4/5
Brockmire is fresh, funny, and winning. It has good jokes, good characters, and a surprising melancholy streak. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 04/07/2017
Brockmire gives its two leads showcases they've more than earned. Go to Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com 04/05/2017

Dana C @dananuns Dec 9 I have no idea how this show is not talked about more! My husband and I watched the first three episodes last night and were belly laughing most of the time. Freaking hilarious and great acting, too. Highly recommend! See more Brad N. @BradleyN Dec 6 An entertaining, clever and fun watch. See more bill n Mar 29 A great buddy comedy adventure. Daffy and Porky are excellent as best friends in an hilarious adventure. Instead of the “3D” CGI Style of minions and smurfs where a the characters look the same. And most current animated features. Warner Bros did a great job of capturing this film in a traditional 2D format. Modern, but keeping with the idea of great comic characters individual to themselves. A truly great family film where parents will laugh right along with their kids. See more Felix R 05/02/2024 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. See more ivan k 04/11/2021 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. See more dave d 03/31/2021 If you like broadcasting and baseball you're love of Brockmire will depend solely on your tolerance for the versatile Hank Azaria. See more Read all reviews
