Was surprised not to see a thread already started! Premieres tomorrow night and is receiving some pretty rave reviews. Anyone tuning in? I, for one, have just been reading too much good stuff not to be. Plus, I am already a huge fan of the CBS monday night line up (thanks to How I met Your Mother), so I see no downside.

I think it looks pretty funny so I'm going to tune in tomorrow.

Been hearing good things. Will check it out because of Kurtwood Smith.

The beautiful Tamara Mello ("Popular") is in this.

Only reason I'm watching.

Double_Oh_7

One of the few new shows I'm looking forward to seeing. That guy is pretty funny in a lot of commercials

Rex Fenestrarum

She's still hot, isn't she?

Watched it... didn't much like it. The pilot was far too similar to Meet the Parents. Of course, that's just one episode. It could develop into something nice, but I didn't laugh once... giggled a couple of times, yes. Laugh out loud? No.

I'm not entirely certain. I was laughing quite heartily during the "urination on the goose" scene.

Although, who the hell uses a candlestick these days?

Eric D.

That was painfully unfunny, I didn't laugh once.

Last year I said that the Big Bang Theory was the worst pilot I had ever seen that made it to series...

It only took CBS one season to top themselves. Honestly, where do you go with such a silly concept as this? A guy that just keeps doing clumsy and stupid things? That's what passes for a series concept these days?

Seriously?

On top of that, some of the incidents were just plain idiotic. Mistaking the kitchen for a bathroom? Really?

I just don't see where this show could go from here. at least with Big Bang it has a concept that could work if done right, and has really become a pretty funny show. I'll try it again next week, but I'm just amazed what 's getting on the air these days.

Worst Weak (Show).

I agree with the Big Bang comment. I ditched that show about three episodes in and never looked back. This will not even get a 2nd viewing. Way too much other good stuff on out there to waste time on this just for Kurtwood Smith

I liked it...found it to be miles better than Big Bang. Yeah it was stupid, but it was also pretty funny IMO. I really like the chick on this one, very cute...

RichC2

It was passable, nothing I'm clamouring to watch more of... but at least there was no laugh track. Agreed about it being better than Big Bang Theory though, that show is horrible.

Patman

Not sure if I want to devote much time to watch a walking punching bag, didn't find much of the pilot episode all that funny or clever.

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.

Didn't like it, but I could tell from the commercials that it wouldn't be very funny. I was hoping I was wrong, but I wasn't.

Bibliophile4

I agree, I thought it sucked. It was so predictable.

Larry C.

Huh. I didn't laugh once. This will get old fast. On a side note. I really do enjoy the "Big Bang"

conscience

I thought it was okay, but there was just too much going on in the episode. It felt like a short film not a multiple episode comedy.

marty888

I lasted about 15 minutes ...... diaper boy just wasn't funny.

Eric D.

What really bothered me was that all the "jokes" were forced. They never even let the comedy happen naturally. Just one example of this was the ending "gag" with the painting catching on fire. Seemingly, the mother hid it right next to the breaker box where the father would always go to fix the lights. This makes no sense because why would you hide a gift that took over a year to finish in a place the man would always go???? But I guess that was the only way to get it to catch on fire, which we all know was HILLARIOUS!!!! Not to mention the whole Mr. Bean thing of trying to "fix it".

Awful, awful writing. How this show got the greenlight blows my mind.

mike7162

Who do I have to blow to get this taken off the air?

skatefan20

I laughed quite a bit, but at some points the show did shift from being extremely silly funny to just stupid (that last gag with the candles was definitely forced. very weak.)
WAY TOO much, almost like a bunch of commericals strung together. I hope they flesh out the characters more in the next episode - the "Man breaks mirror, has 7 years of bad luck" show will burn and tire out at the pace the writers were going in last nite's pilot.

movieking

I kinda liked it, but how do they stretch the thing out over a season?

fernsita

I loved it! I laughed throughout the entire thing, and that's pretty rare for me. I also didn't feel BAD for him. It wasn't awkward humor to me. I think it's his quick rebound in the series. Very well done by Bornheimer.

I'm really interested to see how they will stretch the series out. They do have a wedding to plan, a baby on the way, and we know about an overly affectionate coworker to play off of. It doesn't always have to focus on the parents, which is one tactic they could take. Maybe extend to his work?

TGM

meh show, but the "punch you in the face" line had me rofling... my wife and I say stuff like that to each other all of the time.....

WallyOPD

I was really looking forward to this but I turned it off about halfway through last night. I'll try to watch the 2nd half tonight but I think this is a quick dump from my scheduled recordings list.
