do you think this is as bad as all the sequels coming out or do you think it is a good idea?

I haven't seen the movie, nor one frame of the tv show. That said, television programs based on movies are rarely much good ("Buffy" is the one exception I can think of). This one does have the advantage of retaining most of the original cast, which is a plus. But I think the whole "We're Greek, aren't our customs funny to you, White Guy Who Married Into Our Family" thing will grow old quick.

As with any movie or tv series, It needs good writers in order to stay alive. I'll give it a chance.

It strikes me as a bad idea that may even tarnish the film; but with good writing, it could very well work. While only retaining some of the cast, it seems the people behind the scenes are fairly well in tact, and while I'm sure he's only there to support his wife, Hanks is gold when it comes to producing television shows. I dunno ... could really go either way. My guess is it will be a hollow shell of the film, and even if it's well done, I think the concept will wear thin, but I'm certainly keeping an open mind.

Going against the Simpsons doesn't help ....

time slot doesn't determine the quality of the show, at least not in the begining. after the ratings are good/bad the show may adjust accordingly, but i am pretty sure the lack of ratings will help bury it.

The film was great, but the television program will not succeed. One negative already for the program is that not everyone from the film will be in it.

isn't the only person missing the husband? this isn't why i don't think it will succeed. i think the gimmick of the movie is done well within the movie, but the gimmick will not go well to the small screen, as most people, even the fans will get tired of it fast.

I agree that the show will bomb...One Word:
