It's not bad. It's not a laugh a minute but it doesn't have to be. It has the right amount of charm and quirk that works. Some shows take a couple
of episodes to hit their stride and this one is extremely promising and the cast is perfect. Looking forward to more of it. Hell of a lot better than Jezebel
James, that's for sure.

I don't know if this is for sure, but do you think this might've been produced by Ashton Kutcher? Not positive, just a guess.
I guess thats the route they're taking to market this...just blare his name out and show his pretty face in all the commercials. Anyhow, I thought the show was pretty funny and definitely worth watching in the future. Won't be surprised if it gets the axe early though. Viewers just aren't interested in 30 minute comedies it seems, and those who are are looking for crap like According to Jim, not this. |

I thought this was really funny. It kind of felt like The Office. Not surprising though since Caroline Williams who wrote this episode, used to be on the
writing staff for The Office.
Judy Greer was great and I was on her side the whole episode. The only clunky aspect waas the somewhat obvious writing (still good though) and the guy playing Greer's crush. He was a bit stale. |

I realize that this was only the premiere so I won't call it a disappointment since only so much funny can be had in 30 minutes but it wasn't as good
as I thought it would be. If this kept airing in that akward half hour after DWTS, I'd stay on the couch to watch it but I am pretty sure it's regular
timeslot will be on Thursday opposite Survivor and I don't know if it's a show worth recording yet.
Still got 2 more eps this Thursday to check out since Survivor is on tonight. One thing that did bug me big time? The whimsical music constantly throughout the show. Annoying. |

I thought it had potential. It was kind of like a dumbed down Arrested Development, with the cutaways and captions. I love Judy Greer and Chris Parnell, so
I'd like to see it stay on.

It was cute. Judy Greer is so likable, I'll tune in just for her. Yay nerds!

I watched it and liked it enough to put on my DVR to-do list. Kristoffer Polaha and Brooke Burns starred in an other show I liked- North Shore. Anyone remember that? |

I liked it but didn't flip out over it. JG is adorable and funny. Hot Spanish teacher is adorable.

2nd ep was much improved. Loved it. Ashton was actually hilarious as Beau. Tim's more and more adorable. Nice seeing that Becky's really good at her
job too.

Tim the Spanish teacher is most certainly adorable.
This show was cute, I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. After watching 3 episodes there was only one line that actually made me laugh out loud, most of the time I was just smirking (The lol moment was the "How long were you looking in my window? Thats the last time I change in my car" His deadpan delivery was great) What this show really made me realize is how much I really miss Samantha Who? Now that is a great 30 minute comedy, April 7th can't come soon enough! I need to go back and watch the last episode though, I have no memory of where the last episode left off. |

Liked these 2 episodes much more than the sneak preview. I'm going for this one- and I'm more of a reality show gal. Maybe it's because I'm a
teacher? Loved the "commando" bit.
