vhaenjes-13694 I initially didn't know what to expect from this series, but from the Pilot episode on, I was hooked. Granted, there are some points that give off the all too familiar "Friends" vibe, but I reckon that is rooted in the fact, that Friends was THE sitcom to watch for a decade. I would think, that The Exes, has the same potential. The characters are lovable and easily understood. (Mostly) employed and not sitting hours on end in a coffee house, while trying to figure out how to pay for their coffees. Personally, I love the premise of the strong, successful career woman showing compassion and kindness towards her "ex" clients, and them reciprocating. It's very grown-up. It's not tedious to watch unlike some shows, and the characters harmonize quite well, despite their quirks and flaws.I can't wait for a couple of more seasons!!! I am intrigued how much the Wedding might have changed or empowered Holly. :-)

Angel Medina "The Exes" is great addition to TVLand's comedy show list. It is the second best sitcom they have had since their hit "Hot in Cleveland." It may not be completely original; the main characters live across the hall from each other, reminiscent of the hit show "Friends", but these characters were brought together by Holly (Kristen Johnston), a divorce lawyer. She brought the three male characters together, Haskell (Wayne Knight), Phil (Donald Faison), and Stuart (David Alan Basche), when she introduced them after representing them in their divorces. She rents them the apartment across the hall from her. Holly's assistant, Eden (Kelly Stables) even lived with her for a short period of time.The actors were well brought together from shows we used to watch. Kristen Johnston from "3rd Rock From the Sun", Kelly Stables from "Two and a Half Men", Dwayne Knight from "Seinfeld", Donald Faison from "Scrubs", David Alan Basche less known from "The Starter Wife".The plots are pretty simple, they relate to divorce and dating, and poke fun at the stereotypical roles the characters play. Viewers may start the show thinking, "I wish I had a life like that," to finishing the show with a laugh and thinking, "I'm glad my life isn't that way." Holly was career driven as a young woman, and has a successful career, but is unsuccessful in her love life as a middle-aged woman. Eden is a pint-sized, care-free single young woman having fun. Phil is the playboy of the group, always with a different woman, and as much fun as he is having, he started having feelings for Eden. Haskell is a lazy, overweight middle-aged man, who spends much of his time on his laptop. He is the funny guy of the group and is outgoing, but never gets a lady. Stuart is the touchy-feely one of the group. He's a dentist and is very proud of this small practice. He isn't completely over his ex, but with the help of the guys is trying to get into dating.Overall, this is a simple comedy that brought a few good actors we knew from previous sitcoms together in an attempt to get a few laughs out of its viewers.

SanteeFats I thought that this show would be kind of slow but it is above average. The three divorced guys renting their attorneys extra apartment just across the hall makes for some interesting interaction. There is the womanizing horn dog, the wanna be player, and the namby pamby dentist. I guess the attorney Holly is pretty good at law. The boys all seem to have enough money to do most anything they want to. This show is about all four of the main characters trying to find love again. It just doesn't come across to often. And then there is Kelly Stables, the impish, party to the max girl as Holly's assistant. She is a treat as a female horn dog.

KevinMariblanca I won't necessarily write that this show is anything like Friends (let's be honest, what is?) or How I met Your Mother but still it has the comedy down. Kristen Johnson certainly carries most of the comedic element of this show. The Acting however could use to tone down a bit. There were scenes which gave goosebumps out of pure overacting. The writing needs a bit of work as well. Some lines were too cartoonish and too far off reality. But otherwise, if you want a good time and feel good after a hard day's work then this shows is good!
