I'll give it a shot for Cuthbert and Casey Wilson, but I do not expect good things.

RichC2

This is like a cross between Traffic Light and Perfect Couples!

DJariya

Entertainment Weekly gave it a B

Alan Sepinwall didn't like it. He thought it was another lame relationship sitcom. Although he said he hated Perfect Couples.

I'll give it a whirl since I like Cuthbert and probably most internet message board posters will do the same.

I plan to wait and see what the reaction from this thread is before I make the decision to watch.

My DVR only set this to record at 9:30 for 30 minutes when I set it up this week. Hmmm...

CharlieK

My friend's wife's cousin is in this so you know I'll be watching!!

Looks like Damon Wayans Jr. has his hand in a comfy place in that photo.

SexualPudding

LOL is that a joke?

JimRochester

Had it's moments but also had some mean tones. The regular time will be 10:00 so I probably won't be able to see it

I enjoyed it. Reminded me alot of How I Met Your Mother if it didn't have a laugh track, and had more pop culture references.

This also seems like one of those shows where all episodes will be self contained

PopcornTreeCt

I enjoyed it. Has much more potential than that god-awful young couples show after The Middle.

Fist of Doom

I was pretty "meh" on this. Thought it was mildly amusing with a few lol moments. Elisha Cuthbert is definitely a bonus.

Perfect Couples started off really bad though, and I ended up liking it. So I'll give this a chance.

CharlieK

No joke. Turns out he's the gay guy.

There were some lines here and there that made me laugh, but I didn't buy the dynamic between everyone. It seemed overly artificial, and it didn't seem like they'd really be friends. Maybe some camaraderie will develop down the road.

HUG-H

I'm just glad there was no mountain lion.

The show so far reminds of Perfect Couples meets Scrubs and mates with 30 Rock. It reminded me a little of Samantha Who? as well, maybe because it's on ABC and has an uncertain future, but, like others here, I like Cuthbert, and Wilson, whose "bawl-my-eyes-out" promo is where the show had me.

JuryDuty

It was better than I expected, but I'm not adding it as a Season Pass. The pilot picked up once they had the scene around the restaurant table, but quite honestly, it's a lot of characters to follow, especially when both episodes brought in additional cast members. I also thought the interracial couple had no chemistry whatsoever. Oh well.

Timber

Only watched the Pilot so far and I actually laughed out loud a few times. Thought the whole birthday dinner was hilarious.

SexualPudding

Why would a friend's wife's cousin being in something make you watch it? That just puzzles me beyond belief.

PenguinJoe

I thought the show was pretty mediocre. I won't really make an appoint to watch it but if its on I'll watch it.

SexualPudding

Some of the dialogue felt really forced but I found it much more enjoyable than some of their other Wednesday night programming, namely the Middle and Cougar Town. It was much better than Mr. Sunshine as well.

HUG-H

BTW, anyone recognize Zachary Knighton from the "Gang solves the Gas Crisis" episode of Always Sunny (He's the one whose car they kept hitting)?

Supermallet

First episode was hit and miss, but the dinner was excellent.

Second episode was a nice uptick in quality. Still not amazing, but better than the first. There are enough funny bits to keep me watching for now.

CharlieK

Sorry, I wasn't being serious about that part. We hung out at a wedding so when I heard he was in this I wanted to check it out.

Timber

Second part wasn't nearly as funny to me as the first. A few laughs but if it wasn't for the Pilot I probably wouldn't be tuning in next week.

JimRochester

There is only one episode to compare but The Middle is one of my favorites. Cougar Town got too repetitive. This was OK because the chicks were hot but I won't go out of my way to watch this
