Life in Pieces

I was so disappointed when I heard that this show had not been renewed. It is one of the few "comedies" on TV that consistently makes me laugh out loud. The cast is well-chosen and the writing is superb.

Here's the chance for someone like Netflix, Amazon or Comedy to swoop in and grab up an excellent series.

It's a a shame when a clever well written show with great characters and great chemistry is cancelled. Yet mind numbing shows geared towards idiots (Pretty much anything involving Chuck Lorre) is kept on the air. Guess we also need more time slots for NCIS 12

I cannot believe all the negative reviews this show has gotten! It is well written and absolutely hilarious. The entire cast is superb, somehow James Brolin just keeps getting better with age! The show follows one family, parents their three grown children and their families. Every character on the show is interesting. Even the young kids are well written. They are wealthy and somehow it is still easy to relate to them. It is witty, sarcastic, and much funnier than most of the shows it is compared to, though I don't see why it's compared to anything, as it is very original. It is one of the few comedies my husband and I both agree on, laugh out loud funny! Give this show a chance, I don't see how you could be disappointed.

I really enjoyed the pilot but am enjoying this show even more as it progresses. I haven't watched a "laugh-out-loud" sitcom for awhile until this show - last week I almost doubled over during some of the segments. The entire cast is brilliant and pulls it off every week. I never knew Colin Hanks could be that funny! And I'm so happy to see Zoe Lister-Jones (who I loved in Whitney) and Thomas Sadosky (wonderful in Newsroom). Dan Bakkedahl is absolutely brilliant as are Dianne Weist and James Brolin. Even the kids are good, and I'm usually not enamored of child actors.

I look forward to each new episode, and really hope that it picks up an audience that will stick with it.

Where Modern Family excels in over-acting, towcramping scripts and far from believable charachters, this show is the opposite. It's funny, the actors are in their element . It's how you spell a believable "dysfunctional" family
