cherylyn-13791 I thought it would get better ... but it didn't. Watched 8 episodes and I was done!! If I had parents like that I would move to another country!!!!

mslindaroberts If you like a clean, funny show with people you can identify with, I invite you to watch 9JKL, a new TV series. Elliott Gould (Monica's father in "Friends," - Linda Lavin - a long-term and well loved actress for decades and Mark Feuerstein someone I had never known before but am a follower now, star in this show. The Concierge of the apartment building is so hilarious, he's welcome in any scene. The show, that is getting unfair criticism does not have a racial or sexual note to it, and the highly talented Gould and Lavin should have the title of "starring" as they both carry much weight of the series. This show is typical of family antics and how well they are played out by the cast. The Asian boy in the lobby of the building is adorable. You like him from the Pilot on. The actress who played Christina in the Pilot has incredible comedy chops, but the brother and his wife who live next door leave me somewhat well - I wouldn't care if they moved. Feuerstein, Gould and Lavin make me wanting to see the next show. I tape them, then watch them over and over.

Dr_Sagan I'm writing this review after I watched 8 episodes.This is a SitCom with a fake laugh track, basically about an oppressively loving mother who lives (with her husband) next door of her two 40-ish sons (9J 9K and 9L is the adjacent apartments) and who suffocates with her love the one (and single) son played by Mark Feuerstein.OK. So it is what it is. That's the TV genre. IMDb is filled with one star reviews because of this. If you hate it (especially the canned laugh), don't watch it. It isn't for you and go watch something else.BUT for its genre and its format and its typicality... isn't that bad. Isn't great, and by the definition of canned-laugh-sitcoms groundbreaking, but it is an OK show to spend 21 minutes without really caring about deep meanings. The jokes are mild and the situations typical and you can see them coming from a mile away but ...again... that's the genre.Overall: A mother who suffocates with caring her adult "child" is the epitome of ALL SitComs. So, this is one of those. Not great, not bad either.

strawberries404 I would give this zero stars if I could. I don't know where to start - the laugh track, the actors trying way too hard to make lines that they know is crap sound funny, and the ridiculous setup (for example, why is there a smart aleck kid in the lobby in what I assume will be every episode?) are all awful. I don't know what CBS was thinking even allowing something this horrible to be on the air. Heck, I know nothing about working in broadcasting but I know I can come up with a premise better than this show. Imagine my (and probably everyone else's since it looks like the vast majority of people hate this show) surprise when CBS ordered an additional 3 episodes of this terrible show. I wish they would put us viewers out of our misery and cancel this poor excuse for a sitcom.
