And Heaton did not look good in this at all. I always thought she was cute but not here.

Gunde · 10-02-09, 10:39 AM

^ Yeah but that was kinda the theme of the episode

movieking · 10-02-09, 01:39 PM

Very disappointed in this one. Hank was just awful.

SoSpacey · 10-02-09, 04:19 PM

i lasted 20 minutes

Ayre · 10-02-09, 05:01 PM

Liked it. Just wish it wasn't Heaton-centric and hated the narration. Don't get me wrong, I like Heaton, but I just don't think she can carry the show. I don't think any of the characters are strong enough to carry the show.

Bumping this up since this had moderate interest last week. Won't bother with Hank since pretty much 99.9% of this forum hated it.

I'm interested in seeing another episode.

"Mom, which part of me is my hungering manhood?"

This show's a season pass keeper.

Tracer Bullet · 10-07-09, 09:43 PM

Yeah, I enjoyed the second episode. Definite potential here.

Deftones · 10-07-09, 11:26 PM

Is it me or does Brian Doyle Murray look like absolute shit? I mean, he looks so different to me than what I remember him in the last thing I saw. Maybe he's gained a bunch of weight or something, but he looks bad.

FatTony · 10-08-09, 12:17 AM

Caught most of this tonight and it just struck me as a cross between Malcolm in the Middle and your run-of-the-mill generic sitcom. Pass!

Also, whatever that show is that's before this one with Kelsey Grammer...fucking garbage.

"And then her breast heaved - that means she threw up..."

It is moderately funny. I love the youngest son, but the daughter being completely inept at everything yet continues to try out for everything is already tired. And Axel schlumping around the house in only boxers 80% is so overdone that it is breeding ground for pedophile central.

Also, I get that they're poor but if every episode is about miserable poverty and escaping the latest family financial crisis, I may dump it. I mean the Connors on Roseanne were poor but rarely did the entire episode focus on needing money...

CPA-ESQ. · 10-08-09, 09:54 AM

I think this is the best new comedy show of the season. I guess I just like these type of malcom in the middle shows.

That little boy always had me

I guess I am in the minority here.. I love this show and find Modern Family boring.

I'm with you on that. Modern Family strikes me as veteran sitcom writers trying to fit in with the modern trend towards single-camera comedies, and not very successfully.

Enjoying this show. I hate Patricia Heaton, so from the start I didn't want to like the show, but I've liked the past 2 episodes. Earned a spot on my DVR

mrpayroll · 10-08-09, 11:37 AM

This show is the best of the 4 ABC comedies on Wednesday night. I rank them in this order.

1. The Middle
2. Modern Family
3. Cougar Town (might drop)
4. Hank (have dropped)

Also, the actor playing Axl is 19 years old.
