It's official, this is now my favorite new comedy of this season. Sisto and middle class Emma stone (she gets promoted from poor man's Emma stone) are pretty damn good.

Gasteyer and Parnell make great annoying neighbors.

I have a huge man crush on Chris Parnell so it was great seeing him here.

This is a good, quirky little show.

I think this is the only new comedy that I actually like.

Yeah, it's my favorite new comedy of the year and the only one I'll continue watching. I think the daughter will end up getting a lot of movie roles from this show.

I like it but it's pretty almost the same as Awkward.

+1

I can't take my eyes off the daughter -- she's gorgeous. (And I understand she's actually 21 so don't call me a perv.) She's the best thing on this show and definitely has a very bright future.

This has very quickly become the only new comedy I actually look forward to.

Jane Levy (Tessa) I recall from Showtime's Shameless. Glad to see her in a more prominent role here.

What a pleasant surprise this show has become.

My wife and I cancelled the dvr recording after this epsiode.

I just found the cliches that they belabor, too tired to be funny.

Even though I like the father and daughter characters, the interactions between them don't seem genuine. It's almost all snark even when the scene calls for something more real between the two of them.
