Damn, I liked it, and liked her. Like Harrington, too. But the supporting cast wasn't great, honestly.

But i will watch coupe in anything.

I figured it was over when they burnt off the last four episodes during the weeks of Christmas and New Year. I was enjoying the show, it started out OK and I think got a bit better a couple episodes in, but it's not something I'm going to miss horribly.

You know it's a sitcom right? It's like saying "I should skip any show that only lasted a season."

though I'll be the first to admit I'd kill for a Terriers movie.

just too much competition on my Tivo for space, if it was given a 2nd season, I'd still be working on them, this way i don't get any more attached... cut it loose

sometimes you need to make these tough space clearing decisons

I blame Jay Harrington. He is the TV equivalent of box office poison. Every show he's on gets quickly axed.

Sucks that it got canned. I really enjoyed it and thought Eliza was just hilarious.

I'm disappointed it was canceled. The supporting cast was a bit weak, but Eliza Coupe was funny.

Yup, he is there with Cliff Curtis and Kristoffer Polaha as show killers. I did like him in Better Off Ted and this show.

This makes me a saaaaaaaaaaaaad Panda.

USA is getting very close to losing me. They're lucky they finally renewed Playing House or they'd be in SyFy territory(Alphas NO!).

Playing house is definitely a must watch for those who haven't seen it, thankfully usa renewed it!

Gotta add Kyle Bornheimer, too.

Yeah, I actually like Harrington. I think he has good timing and delivery, and he's good-looking but not so much that it's off-putting. But maybe he's just not memorable?

I also enjoyed the first season of that show. It was odd how USA didn't renew it until several months later after the finale. There were rumors that it wasn't getting renewed. The stars of that show made a short video that seemed to make fun of the wait they went through with USA.
