I thought I'd give this a shot to see what Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton had in them outside their comfort zone. The first two episodes have been pretty solid. They aren't totally opposite of their previous characters, but different enough to not be mistaken for Debra and Frasier.

The whole replacing the dead goldfish plot was a bit out of place and mispronouncing the location newscaster's name is already old, but everything else seems to have promise. The cast seems to work well together and I've gotten some great laughs out of the show. Not to mention you can't go wrong with Fred Willard. I think I'll be sticking with for a while.

reader email to the station:
"Montana should cover the pumpkins"

Watched about 15 mins last week and turned it off.. It was pretty bad

The first episode was average but showed promise, IMO. The second episode was better.

i disagree. i thought the first ep was okay but tonight's was horrible.

I want a youtube clip of that.

In what reference was that reader email to station used?

I DVR'd the 1st episode after watching have not set another timer- pretty bad

Getting ready to watch it right now. Loved last week's ep and looking forward to this week's.

I agree. My wife and I laughed our ass of tonight. Especially



I will still keep watching it.

Just finished the second episode. Laughed once (mildly). I'm out.

+1

I am done with this show. I am getting back into 'Till Death though - I only watched the pilot in season 1, but the first two episodes of season two were quite good.

Another funny ep.

Montana is the name of the well endowed weather girl who wears outfits to show off her cleavage.

the letter read, "Montana should cover the pumpkins" Everyone looks at her as she slowly zips up her top covering her cleavage, upon which the station manager reveals the email was in regards to the actual pumpkins this Haloween. She then proceeds to slowly unzip her top.

Not exactly high brow, but it was good for a laugh.

I thought tonight's episode was pretty funny, better than last week.

It was a station staff meeting, and they were running down the various news stories for the day, and it was Patricia Heaton's character who said "Montana should cover the pumpkin festival."
There was no reader(?) -perhaps you meant viewer, email involved.

I'm liking it so far.

I haven't seen last night's yet, but I plan on giving this show a wide berth given the talent involved (in front and behind the camera).

Definitely! Grammer and Heaton, and the entire fish story.
Didn't care for the taser part -- until the after-effects were shown during the outtro.

To kill the time, also started up watching again Til Death. Some of the people behind The King of Queens also work on this show, so I do get a KoQ vibe...but the leads on this one aren't quite as funny as Kevin James & Leah Remini, and the writing and supporting cast not as sharp. Still feels a bit forced.

Thanks for the corrections.

I like Til Death and think it's better than many other choices of shows that are out there. I think the two episodes this season started off strong but I really don't like Eddie Kaye Thomas' wife, whoever she is.

I thought Back to You was OK again, and agree with a previous post that the mispronouncing of the reporters name is already old. Didn't find the taser scene funny at all.

this show wont last the season

I liked it last night as well. Fred Willard's ring tone was pretty funny. I'll keep watching.

Kat Foster.


I like her on the show.

It's on Fox so you probably are correct.

I thought this episode of "Back to You" was just okay, but I agree with you about Til Death - I thought last weeks and this weeks were pretty funny and I wish I had seen more than the 2 episodes I watched of Season 1. I think the combination of the 2 shows will keep them both on the air all season.

After watching the first two episodes, I think I'm going to bail on Back to You. The entire premise with the kid is - I don't know - uninteresting to me?
