I thought it was pretty good. I liked Casey Wilson and Ken Marino.
Agree about the supporting cast being a weak link. Their scenes weren't that funny, but hopefully they can gel together better in the future.
I kept thinking how great it would be to insert the Happy Endings cast into the friend roles. Sad that show isn't coming back.

Forgot to record this. Looks like there's an encore showing Friday night for others that might have missed.

Pretty funny. Lots of LOL moments.
Basically the Annie character is almost a continuation of the Penny character from Happy Endings. Wilson is good with the physical comedy. But, I can see some people being super annoyed with her.
I when Stanley from The Office fired Jake after that proposal at his work because he lied.
Supporting cast is kind of weak. Could that fat schlub not look more like a poor mans Zach Galifianakis? And what is the deal with making Annie have 2 gay Dads?
Other than that, fun start.

Yeah, it is essentially the exact same character she played in Happy Endings. It's as though she went into witness relocation, moved, changed her name, and got new friends, but otherwise, she's the same girl
I enjoyed the show but didn't love it. Will give it another few episodes I guess since my wife liked it, but nothing groundbreaking.

I thought it had some funny stuff. I'll continue to watch and see where it goes.
Yes, a little. He's great as "Bevers" on Broad City. His character's inclusion in the show is funny and ridiculous at the same time.

I generally despise the half hour sitcoms, but just watched this tonight, and have to say I loved it!

I didn't like this last episode at all. The supporting cast didn't get any better from last week and are still boring and annoying. I might give it one more episode before I drop it.

This last episode did not bring the funny. Too centered on the fat friend who can't act and isn't funny. I really want this to work because I was a huge fan of Happy Endings, but I'm realizing the only Happy Endings vibe I'm gonna get would be from Happy Endings. I'll give it a few more tries, but this was not good.

Don't really care for the poor man's Zach Galifianakis.
I did laugh at the soup song at the end.
The rapid fire dialogue between Annie and her 2 dads is pretty good.
Also, Jake's "church" to the lesbian black friend was kinda funny.

Nth Power, your post is a reminder that I had to think for a second if I watched the latest episode (I did), as it was not very memorable. This show is background viewing at best, something to watch while I play P VS Z 2, or surf on my tablet. I hate to say this, as I am a Casey Wilson fan (and in small doses, Ken Marino).
