This show was awesome!!!

I really hope it shows good ratings, and going up against darma and greg and Watching elie, it should do really well....

I really liked the show. I has some real potential. The only problem I had was the way only about half of the show as actually happening due to all the "Ok, that's not what really happened" stuff. Though those little things were pretty funny, I can see the gimmick getting kinda old. Though that mermaid thing was pretty damn funny.

it was a great first episode, but i can definitely see the "ok that's not what really happened" gag getting old. but it would still be good if they did that about half as much as they did in the first episode.

I'm not sure what I think of the show yet. It had is good moments and then some that just seemed to drag. I really hope this show hits its potential so I have something to watch while Buffy is in reruns

I also liked it, todays episode just set up and introduced the characters so it will be interesting to see how the show will go. The oldman who started the company is hilarious. I love Undeclared, but if it has to go this show would do fine, if we could only get rid of That 80s Show though.

I missed the first part of the show because my Tivo didn't change channels correctly.
I thought it was pretty funny and will probably watch it again next week.

Good stuff. Very cynical and dry, but with an underlying heart to it. I think the "that's not what really happened" thing got a little old, but sometimes it was great (like the puppy jacket). Great to have Andy back on TV, and it looks like they've build a great supporting cast (especially with Rick Hoffman as the a-hole boss). I hope this one just gets better with time.

I thought it was a fairly solid show as well. I'll watch it again.
Does anyone know the name of the actress that plays the receptionist? Full cast isn't listed on imdb yet and it's driving me crazy!

Andy has my sense of humor, and I loved nearly all of the jokes and the sensibility..... BUT, it did seem a tad awkward. The imagination gag was uneven- The 'morning wake up' was neat, as was the 'what we did when we hung out' sequence, but there were out of place bits like the superhero ending and such that felt forced. Also, there was waaayyyy too much effort made to explain the gag (yeah I know its a pilot), they should never enven explain it, just let it happen. I'll watch it. At least it doesnt have a laugh track or a regular 'hangout spot' or a 'wacky' neighbor.

I thought it was pretty good. It has the same gag as Scrubs but not done as well. This was only the pilot so it should get better. And to whomever said 80's show was better than this, you probably didn't understand this show. Please stick to Home Improvement reruns.
