Cursed, later renamed The Weber Show, is an American sitcom that ran on NBC from 2000–2001. It starred Steven Weber, Amy Pietz, Wendell Pierce, and Chris Elliot. The show is notable for having an abrupt title change in the middle of its first season. The initial premise was that its protagonist had been cursed by an ex-girlfriend and thus constantly encountered bad luck. The show failed to find an audience, and so midway through the season the entire "bad luck" angle was abruptly dropped. The show was revamped as a more traditional sitcom and renamed The Weber Show. In spite of the change, the show still struggled and was canceled at the end of the season, leaving a cliffhanger unresolved. The show's theme song was written and performed by Liz Phair.

The Weber Show Audience Reviews

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
movieman_kev The only reason that I even gave this a few chances was for the fact that Chris Elliott is uber-hilarious. That said, while "Cursed" wasn't the WORST sit-com i ever saw,(that dubious honor would have to go to "Roc") it was still as painful as a prostate exam where both the doctor's hands on on either one of you shoulder
Dan Aldridge You can tell a show is doomed when they change the name after the first episode has aired. Why even bother? Just cancel it now and save us the agony of watching the show die! Another sign of doom is that they change the theme song. And, of course, strike three is that Chris Elliott was in it (and as a doctor?!?). Steve Weber is a capable actor and we can never see enough of Amy Pietz.But I agree with the language comment. I think it's time for an "L" rating to count the number of garbage words in a show. Too bad we don't have writers and producers who know how to produce quality entertainment.
mattymatt4ever I am very picky about sitcoms. Even the ones that are hot right now (i.e.: "Just Shoot Me," "Will and Grace") are either OK or utter crap. I really admire Steven Weber, I think he's a highly underrated comic actor. And the show was good. Believe me, even some of the best comic actors can have crappy shows. "The Michael Richards Show" is a good example. But I liked "Cursed" (or "The Weber Show" as it was later titled), I didn't think it was the funniest show on earth, yet I didn't find any flaws in it either. That short, chubby black guy (I forgot his name, but he played Lela Rochon's lover in "Waiting to Exhale") is another fine actor and he was good as well. But the world of television can be really harsh, and usually I don't blame them for cancelling most of these lamebrain shows before the season's over, but this one had potential. Damn you!My score: 7 (out of 10)
Thomas Clement (Mr. OpEd) I like practically everyone involved with this show, especially the mesmerizingly odd Chris Elliot and Amy Pietz, about the sexiest thing on two legs. And Weber is the perfect stone-faced star, especially considering what keeps happening to him (ala Keaton, Buster).The show has promise, but its potty-mouth dialog is tedious and tired. And aside from Elliot, the laughs are thin and far between.This year, I down-grade any show that uses a-- (what happened to "bottom," "hinder," "fanny" "back-side," et. al.?). It's a touchstone for childish writing. The premier already set a record as I actually lost count.
