I liked the pilot and will give it another chance... but Adrea Anders is hot... and her character looks and acts like they picked her off the set of "Joey" and dropped her on the set of "The Class."

Yesh, why do I never enjoy these things as much as the people on the laughtrack seem to? Heck, I don't think I've ever enjoyed anything in my entire life as much as the people on the laughtrack enjoyed this.
It's not fair, it's really not.
Buncha one-dimensional character sterotypes dealing with their wacky love lives. Not exactly a fresh premise, is it? And I didn't really think any of the girls made for suitable eye-candy. Except maybe the perpetually mean-tempered one who looked like she just left the central casting offices of 'The L Word.' She was kinda cute. But not cute enough to watch any more of this.
If this thing is still on six months from now, I might give it another shot to see if it's progressed. But I won't be watching next week.

Hmm, I was under the impression that it would be more like 6-8 people who haven't spoken to one another since 3rd grade, and having them grow to become friends that way. The show could have potential though. Like I always say with pilots, they're almost never enough to judge a show upon, since there are too many introductions to make and no real character development yet.
It could go somewhere though. The suicidal guy made me laugh, and cynical girl at least wasn't totally predictable.

That was dreadful (and I love Andrea Anders).
Is there one likeable character on the show? I know that most pilots suck since it lays the groundwork, but that was a whole lot of nothing.

This show is horrible. The jokes were unfunny and I found all of the characters annoying. I'll give it one more chance next week since it airs in front of HIMYM.
I agree 100%. I was wondering throughtout the show if she was supposed to be "mentally challenged".

Interesting premise, but not a great start. The most effeminate male cast I have ever seen, and I'm not just talking about the gay characters. Good enough to get another try.

It was okay especially for a pilot. I think we'll see Richie calling Kat about the accident, and Kat getting a ride from Ethan to the hospital to see Lina. How Nicolle and Duncan are going to be pulled back in the group remains a mystery to me. I'll keep tuning in as it conflicts with nothing else for me.

I only watched the first half and then had to ditch it. It was just plain bad. As was said, the laugh track was very annoying coming in again and again after each and every unfunny line. The acting seemed very poor and over-done to me too.

AA is the blonde. Really didn't like the pilot. It was trying way too hard to be funny and hip, and ended up being neither. I didn't really like many of the characters and all the so called laughs were tired retreads of jokes we've seen 100 times before on better shows. I'm willing to give it a few more tries, due to it's creative pedigree but so far, I am not impressed.

I'd Give it a C. it had a couple of funny moments, mostly coming from the Mom and son in the house, that could be a show in its own right.
They also have too many characters. They need to tighten it up, and prune it. Ritter is actually one of the weak links, ohe well.
I'll give it a chance though as it showed some early promise, and is on before Mother.

I actually liked the depressed guy the best! When he was on, that's when I was laughing the most! They have probably been tweaking the show since they taped the pilot, so next week is probably going to please a lot more viewers. I think this was just a starting point for them to get going.

This was ok, I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. Question though. I thought Andrea Anders character was married to Eric Kramer. At least, that's what I thought I saw in the early commercials. Last night, I saw thought I saw Kramer in a scene.
Silly question--just wondering
