Carpoolers

Skip the endless scrolling — Carpoolers is exactly the comedy you were looking for. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Fred Goss — stay for everyone else around them. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Carpoolers keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Carpoolers from the crowd. Four guys who carpool to work every day come to savor their commute as the only safe time to commiserate about jobs, families - and secrets. Even though "what happens in the carpool stays in the carpool," they'll go beyond the boundaries of this fast-moving commuter confessional to get involved in each other's lives and develop friendships. Between them, Fred Goss and Jerry O'Connell carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was aired in 2007–2008. What keeps Carpoolers from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Carpoolers is a strong candidate. The tonal similarities to How I Met Your Mother are real, though Carpoolers carves out its own identity quickly. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Fred Goss's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Carpoolers was cancelled in 2008, created by Bruce McCulloch — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
