Really loved this show - I hope CBS will give it a shot. I'm so tired of all the violence and negativity on TV. This was entertaining and fun without being sappy. Rupert Grint is thoroughly entertaining and handles the American accent pretty well - his siblings are pretty funny too. The butler shines, and I can see him being a strong lead in this show. The fact that it would appeal to a variety of audiences is a huge plus - kids, adults, male and female. Being able to enjoy it with my kids was a huge plus. I would most definitely watch this if CBS dares to put something on TV that doesn't promote sex, violence, rudeness or negativity. Come on, CBS -I dare ya!

'Cute' and 'potencial'
neru9218 February 2014
It IS a rather naive show and some things might be a bit... forced. But it certainly does have potential:
All in all, it can be a very good show. It just needs some tweaks to make it stand out.
- The art work is good: quite bright and warm, matching the comic tone. The comic book details give it a the final touch. - Needs a bit more originality on the jokes side: although I didn't find it boring, it didn't make me laugh. Should use a better script; could use the music to note irony, sarcasm, etc. - The siblings are a rather stereotyped new moneys. Something would have to be done about them to make them less predictable (eg, the sister's ways to get back at the people who made fun of her should be more original or looked more thoroughly planned. They could even become an every episode thing) - Grint's character's clumsiness and awkwardness slightly reminds me of Alan Harper, so it can work for the general public, though it seems more than obvious that a lot of growing is planned for him. Maybe making him afraid of more things or more afraid of certain things could work as a personality definer as well as a joke-trigger. However, I liked very very much the 'I'm not sure who I am' theme (guessing it isn't over with, of course).
All in all, it can be a very good show. It just needs some tweaks to make it stand out.
Too bad they didn't make this a Series! :(

Found this by accident in 2022. Bummer! :(
I Really enjoyed it, it was in the My Name is Earl style, and really funny. I guess they made a movie out of it with mostly different actors, but just doesn't seem as fun.
I really loved the idea behind the polaroid's! If I ever won a big Lottery, I would do this for REAL. :D.

Awesome, wholesome show, no nudity or swearing, good moral to the story. . . No wonder CBS didn't pick it up.
Can be seen here for who knows how long: http://www.cbs.com/shows/super-clyde
Watch it, give it a ten, maybe some other network will pick it up.
It has a lot going for it, solid acting, good casting, and good story line. Not sure where they could take it from it's starting point, but as a father with young boys it would be nice to have an entertaining show that didn't appeal to the baser instinct. I thought this fit the bill quite nicely. Good to watch a fun show that doesn't rely on sexual innuendo as it's fall back. . . yet anyway.

I found this show by accident while looking for shows with Tyler Labine in it. Sounded really interesting, took for ever to track down a copy to watch.
Show is fantastic, has a brilliant heart warming story line, always had a smile while watching it, and even nearly shed a tear at the end.
I can not believe this show was not picked up, seems all that's on TV these days the sex, violence and crime shows, not saying they are bad, but it's nice to have a bit of variety. This show would definitely suit kids, but myself as a young adult thoroughly enjoy it also.
I hope CBS pulls their head of out their ass and continues this show, it has so much potential as a feel-good family show with great morals.
Easily 10/10

I love this show, I want to watch more!!! It would definitely be a new favorite! Its really great for any age too. I want to see more already! Finally a show that promotes something good!!! I love the part when they give the lady a car! It just made me really happy for her, and happy in general. Its also really funny!! Its such a feel good show that anyone would like! The characters are great too. The actors play them all so well, and I would love to see more. CBS REALLY needs to pick this up!! There's nothing else like it on right now. It has a little bit of a Diary of a wimpy kid feel, but less aimed for kids. Its all together a pretty relate-able show and I would love to see more of it. I can't wait until it "hopefully" comes out! I would watch it the day it came out for sure! I'm probably gonna watch the pilot again!
Nice comedy

"Super Clyde" is a 25-minute short film from 2 years ago. The title character is played by Rupert Grint, who is still fairly famous because of his role in the Harry Potter franchise. The only other cast member I knew here was Stephen Fry, who does a great job as usual with what he is given. The director/writer team were in charge of the known television series "My Name Is Earl" in the past, so they are no rookies at all. Maybe this is also why this little film here turned out so funny. The first half is great. The second half is good I guess. I must say I cannot see any great (comedic) talent in Grint, but he still does an okay job and same applies also to all the supporting actors in here. There were some really funny scenes. If I read correctly, this was intended to become a series, but sadly did not get picked up. Quite a shame. The prospect of a weekly dose of Stephen Fry alone would have been enough for me to keep watching. I recommend "Super Clyde". Well done to everybody involved with this project.
Greg Garcia never fails
dewlover42011 October 2022
But with this, he did unfortunately miss the mark SLIGHTLY. But not fixable by that 2015 pilot (I assume.) This was just clearly a style forced on him by someone else. So comic-book-esque.
Plus, this guy was just an average guy. Typically Greg Garcia does people that have a reason to grow. Not that this guy doesn't, but it was just emotional growth for the most part.
But the core idea is what he's best at: trying to better the world. It's executed the wrong way, though. Not very funny, or interesting with unique characters, and feels a bit long.
But I can't say this enough, it's not as bad as The Millers. Not that I don't like The Millers, but when ranking amongst Greg Garcia's other work...it's just such a basic sitcom.
I started this last night, fell asleep halfway through, and finished it today.
