My wife and I sat down to check out the pilot and after about 10 minutes which seemed like hours we decided to consign this rubbish to the bin. The actress who ranted on for most of the section we watched I just wanted to shoot. How anyone could have wanted to marry a woman like that would naturally have several screws loose. It just did not work on any level. It was an attempt to be edgy and "modern" but it was simply painful to watch. I cannot see how this series could be recommissioned for further series, in fact how did it get commissioned based on this dreadful pilot episode. The viewer has to be able to like the main characters and empathise with them but when all you want to do is kill them then it just is not going to work.

The premise of this show is tired and contrived. Every episode so far formulaic and more painful than funny. Annie's mouth is going to get her in trouble every time. Jake is going to remain clueless about what a relationship takes to make it work. He will agree with Annie then disagree, make faces or be condescending behind her back. The whole thing doesn't even remotely ring true. As I was watching E03 I just couldn't stand it anymore; and turned the TV off. After the 1st episode I thought it was a little lame; but the next 2 only reinforced my mixed feelings about the show. There's no doubt the cast is talented; they just don't have a good vehicle to support them.

In a single word: ugh! Super stupid worn out clichés. Nothing new or interesting to see here. Move along, move along. Am wondering what audience/demographic the writers/producers thought they were appealing to? My immediate/extended family has people from diapers to min 80's; and NO ONE OF THEM found this show more than slightly amusing. So, as I said above, move along; nothing to see here. (I'm repeating myself so I can get in the required 10 lines to post) (dang; the robot still says I'm under ten lines. Hm; this is the time that all good men and women should come to the aid of their country.this is the time that all good men and women should come to the aid of their country. this is the time that all good men and women should come to the aid of their country.this is the time that all good men and women should come to the aid of their country.this is the time that all good men and women should come to the aid of their country.this is the time that all good men and women should come to the aid of their country.)

I'm already hooked. I Can't remember the last time I seen a "pilot" or regular episode opening that funny in a long time. This show is so non-cliché' and refreshing in todays world of television. The writing is brilliantly gravely smooth and the actors deliver quite well. The content, pacing and timing if it remains the same will never be a half hour wasted. Already a big fan and any writer would be so pleased with the opportunity to work on such a refreshing endeavor as this show. I hope others get engaged as viewers and writers get envious. I also hope the show becomes contagious making others seek out the freshness needed in television. Don't let this one go stale.
