Cooper Barrett does nothing new in the 2010s of single-camera 20- something to 30-something bachelor sitcoms. It's venturing in a sea of canceled shows, finished shows and currently airing shows that have more to offer than it. Cooper Barrett represents a skeleton of a great show where the writing just isn't good enough. The show could really use some sharper, funnier writing. The jokes aren't hitting that well consistently, the show is so close to being funny, because the style of comedy in this show is right up my alley. The cast is fine, but they lack the pizazz, the flare and true symmetry of a cast from let's say, New Girl or Don't Trust the B----, and Don't Trust the B- --- is not that much better than Cooper but what it has is sharper timing on jokes and better delivery.Cooper Barrett himself is probably the lowest point of the show, and that's not terrible since he's just dull and not intolerable, however he seems like a Nickelodeon sitcom teen grown up and given his own show, he's generic in the sense that he ends up attracting most of the attractive side characters in the show and he looks good, but his interests and personality is nothing unique enough to write home about.Cooper Barrett is just enjoyable enough for me to finish watching the first season and I'm genuinely curious if the show falling short was just due to the show not having enough time to truly find it's groove or if the cast/writing wasn't up to par.

all in all i enjoy it, it gets more then a chuckle out of me which now a days is fairly hard to do.the cast is entertaining and the story is pretty funny.i don't know what they replaced with this but i can say i was never interested in it. I'm just waiting on the next episode to be put on Hulu so i can watch it.i am honestly excited to see where the show goes from here. I read some of the reviews before deciding to post because over all they are fairly negative, but i think this show deserves a honest shot on the line up. it is centered to a certain age group and it nails it's age group on it's head.

Despite all the negativity. It is, and thats what it wants to be, a fun watch. I really don't know what people expect from a sitcom, but it appears to be too much. Not that the show cant fulfill any of these expectations. Guys, it is a sitcom and it has done its job pretty well within the first two episodes. And what job could that be? Entertain me. And it did well...lets hope they get the chance to show some more, i would really looking forward to more episodes. And again to all the people who voted less than six, get a brain and further more don't ruin such a promising new show right from the beginning with your unqualified and unfair reviews...

The half hour after the Simpsons on Sunday nights has always been hard for Fox to fill with something good. This offering certainly isn't cutting it. The show is actually on while I'm typing this, which may be some indication of how little it's holding my attention. I'd say it's like the Hangover and Van Wilder with a touch of Animal House liquefied in a blender then put in a centrifuge to extract any of the good parts then the dregs used to create this show. The characters are uninteresting. The story is lame and without substance. At the end of the show you don't care if the characters lived or died, succeeded or failed, or whether they ever air another episode in the series.The best part about this show it that if continues to air it opens up 30 minutes on Sunday evening to do the dishes and prep for work Monday morning.
