I thought this started okay, but fell flat down the stretch. It's better than 1600 Penn, at least.

Watched for Chalke and Garrett. Boring.

Did love the rapist line given its otter fame.

I didn't find too many laughs in this pilot. Might give it another go though.

Wow. Absolutely loved the promo commercials for this one and I really like Brad Garrett and Sarah Chalke...but the actual episode was a complete let-down. It's like they were trying way too hard. Won't be watching this one again.

Completely generic. Sarah Chalke is distressingingly thin. My wife describes her as a skeleton with good hair.

Generic is a great way to describe this. I tuned in for Chalke and bailed after 10 minutes. I know its not a fair assessment, but I don't have time for it.

Surprised to see the love for Sarah Chalke. I never really cared for her. Don't quite get what the appeal is.

I watched for Sarah Chalke, but it really wasn't a very good show.

Maybe she will get a better pilot next season.

I'll give it one more episode to see if they made (good) changes after the pilot was filmed.

One and done for me. No humor at all, no likeable characters. Brad Garrett's last sitcom Til Death covered similar territory in a much better way.
