Rusticcrayon My wife and I were invited to watch a secret screening of a show while we were staying in Las Vegas, which turned out to be an episode of "The Crazy Ones".I will say straight of the bat that my wife and I are British so this does mean we may not necessarily agree with how Americans may see this show.Anyway we both watched the episode where the office gets a cold and they have to launch a doll. We had to track how much we laughed or found the script entertaining from 0 - 10, with 0 being get me out of here this is the worst, through to 10 were everyone should be laughing out loud. Anyway after watching the show for what seemed like an age it ended and I realised I hadn't even moved the dial to more that a 4 which was when the credits came up as I felt relief that this show was over. I asked my wife whether I had missed something as I didn't find the show funny in the slightest and the humour was extremely basic, almost virgin on what I might expect my children to watch on a Disney channel show. She also agreed that this was very basic and unoriginal and didn't laugh at all through the show.This was a real shame as Both my wife and I like Robin Williams, but the script in the show was just so weak not even he could lift it to any level. As for the rest of the characters neither my wife or I can remember any of them as they didn't engage us at all and we really didn't care what happened to them.The show tries to be clever but approaches things in such a childish manner it fails badly. Unfortunately this show sums up the stereo type view of humour the British have of American sitcoms - childish, basic and predictable As it happens this show hasn't made it to British shores which I guess means at least someone filtered this dross from spreading any further. But maybe this show reflects American culture and we Brits wont get it, after all the our shows, such as the Office, Inbetweeners, Queer as folk etc..... didn't translate well into US series.

snowbell38 I am so disappointed with this series. I was looking forward to the Robin Williams I grew up watching and was hoping for a series my kids could watch and laugh at. I don't even dare turn on the episodes unless they are not even in the house. It is completely full of inappropriately disgusting sexual innuendo. I couldn't finish watching the latest episode. I was trying really hard to give it some time but I am done watching. So sorry this was the best they could come up with for Robin Williams. :( Terrible plot, too. The daughter should not have to try and suck up but she be honored for the qualities she can bring.

nkimble-701-442939 I just watched the Breakfast Burrito Club episode I had DVR'ed, and died laughing at Hamish Linklater. This shows plays off of his quirkiness perfectly, and I think he stole this episode. (I loved him with the ducklings too.) I never, ever want to watch a show over again, but this one I rewound and watched his "tether ball squad" line again! I am so glad he is in a show again, and especially one that works so well with his personality. I couldn't have loved him more in this. I think Robin Williams is perfect here. He can be overboard, but does this series really well and I am thoroughly enjoying this show. I have grown tired of so much of the TV that is out right now, but this is a real winner in my book. CBS- you better keep this one!

cherylk22 I don't agree with the reviewers who said that the actors in this show have no chemistry or that Sarah Michelle Gellar has no knack for comedy. After watching two episodes of this show, I think it's a great ensemble comedy, and I think that Gellar has some incredible comedic moments and works well at times as a "straight man" for Robin Williams. In her first starring role as Buffy, she had a few opportunities to be funny (such as the "Buffy wants beer" episode) that showed her potential. At times, "The Crazy Ones" reminds me of "WKRP in Cincinnati, which is a huge compliment for me. I guess this show isn't for everyone, but it looks like a big hit to me.
