Synopsis

Running Wilde is an American comedy television series created by Mitchell Hurwitz for the Fox Network. It stars Will Arnett as Steve Wilde, a self-centered, idle bachelor and heir to an oil fortune. The series follows Wilde's awkward attempts to regain the affection of his childhood sweetheart, Emmy, an environmentalist who had been living in the South American jungle, but whose young daughter does not want to return there and who secretly enlists Steve's help to keep Emmy at his mansion, leading to farcical situations and misunderstandings.

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
SnoopyStyle Steven Wilde (Will Arnett) is incredibly rich, but he earned none of it. All he knows is how to squander it. Emmy Kadubic (Keri Russell) is an environmentalist and a mother to Puddle (Stefania Owen). Emmy is coming back from living in the jungle. Puddle is tired of it all so she's scheming to keep them from going back.Will Arnett is good as wacky guy. Keri Russell is lovely as a frustrated environmentalist. For a wacky sitcom, they've got pretty good chemistry. The little girl is cute and expressive. I think they were just missing 1 or 2 needed characters. It just feels underdeveloped.
gophererica This show has to stick around. I love how it rewards the viewer for paying attention by referencing small things from within the episode(s) as opposed to making huge, blatantly obvious references like other sitcoms. The entire cast is great in this show. The episode with Andy Richter has been my favorite so far. And David Cross is great too. Will Arnett plays this character to perfection. It's like Gob Bluth, reincarnate! Keri Russell is probably the only one I'd say needs to improve...she comes across as a little stiff still (like she's still getting used to a comedic role)--but it does fit her character. Hidden gem: Peter Serafinowicz. His Alan Alda impersonation was IMPECCABLE! I'd hate to see it get canceled because of poor ratings. Don't drop this show, FOX! Redeem yourself for canceling "Arrested Development" by saving "Running Wilde!"
Gabriel Isfjäll ... that's what Mitchell Hurwitz will be saying if this show doesn't evolve. I had big expectations for this as I am a big fan of Arrested Development, but I have to say I am disappointed. I tried waiting as long as I could before writing a negative review of this show because I thought it could get better, as it happens with some other shows, but it's just stuck in the same mistakes. Here are what I consider the main flaws of this show: - Bad writing / silly, boring jokes: they REALLY need to work on the scrips, unless the show is aimed for children. I think I laughed, no, chuckled, once or twice in so far four episodes. - The woman and the little girl are terrible actors: yes, specially the woman, whose name I don't know. She is such an over-actor and her character is just stupid. I also hate the little girl, but I'd rather she stayed than her mother. Also, the child doing the narrations is quite annoying. Maybe it's not that they are bad actresses but that their characters are poorly written. Who knows? - Bad use of GREAT actors: I just hate the way they waste good actors as Will Arnett, Peter Serafinowicz and the butler, who is quite new to me, but seems to be very good. I was surprised when I found out that Peter was in this show, I love his UK show, but I think he is not well exploited here. I still think he brings the show up a little bit. Maybe they should let him write some stuff.In conclusion, I hope this show gets better. It desperately needs the scrips to be re-written, the characters need to be "polished", they need to get more aggressive and less cheesy, and the show has to be less predictable (that's what made Arrested Development such a great show), unless they want the show to be canceled before the first season ends.
dlscott1111 "Can't hear very well under that tree house".... and last night's scene where the butler is looking out at the guys "washing the car" and the butler says "Don't you do a bleeping thing". Hilarious!! I have watched every show and find myself chuckling the next day while I think about a funny line or 2. Give the offbeat humor a chance and don't take it too serious. Great show!!The butler and the driver are great characters who I hope to see more of. And Fa'ad is priceless. His very presence and accent makes you laugh. I had never been a huge Will Arnett fan until now. He and Keri Russell have a very unexpected bit of chemistry that really seems to work.If you are interested in a show that's quirky, offbeat, and will make you laugh the next day, check this one out!
