Awm7353 It's a show that really had potential, but either bad writing at times or bad acting held it back. Price does a great job and is certainly the best actor of the group, but Warburton is not too far behind and his dead panned humor really makes the show work. Kalyan also does a good job, but the writing falls a bit short at times for him. Hudson is just pathetic, partly because of the writing, but a better actor could make some of his lines work. It is like watching a pre-teen trying to get laughs. Kajlich is OK, it helps that she has a beautiful smile, but she tends to smile or laugh while the other actors keep straight faces. Otherwise, her acting is fine. Spade is pathetic as usual and as usual, playing the pervert. Actually, using the word "play" is incorrect as it seems to me he is that way in real life. Never could act and it remains so. Better writers and a few character changes would have made the show better. Unfortunately, it seems there are way too many bad comedy writers these days and trying to make a show last is a tough task.

apw2-682-298036 Please get this absolutely rubbish show off English TV. The is nothing funny about it, the recorded laughter is cheap and tacky. A guy walks into a room, recorded laughter. Someone opens the door, recorded laughter. They say hello, recorded laughter. It's the tackiest form of "comedy" there is, it cannot even be considered slapstick humour, actually, it makes slapstick humour seem funny in comparison. The producers must assume the viewers are idiots that need reminding when to laugh. American "comedy" shows need to remove this from their programs, nearly every show made in America has this laughter now.

jpeach17 So this is okay to watch, average at best. The premise of the show being different stages of relationships seems quite smart going into it, but as you start watching you realise there isn't much new about this show.Patrick Warburton is great in this and to me is one of very few things that makes it watchable. Spade on the other hand, comes across very much like the poor man's version of Neil-Patrick Harris.I watched the whole of the first series only laughing out loud a few times at most. It seems like a good go-to programme if nothing else is on, but not something to go out of the way to watch.

tundra511 This show is absolutely hilarious. I have watched every season and it keeps getting better and better. I think the reason that it is so funny is that the interactions between the couples and their friends has enough realism that everyone can relate to it. The little spats between the couples are verbatim spats that I have had in my relationship....Jeff is the perfect exaggerated version of the "Everyman". The writing is so sharp, this show has the best one-liner zingers on TV right now. There is a reason why this show keeps holding on even though CBS does absolutely nothing to promote it. Rules is totally hysterically and completely underrated.
