Baby Bob

A few critics have bashed this show, but I am glad to see it had great ratings. This not about singles in an apartment building or the usual dating stuff. It has characters of all ages and it is funny. I have not heard so much out loud laughing in a long time accept during reruns of Are you being Served. It is funnier than the film it is based on Look whose Talking. The talking baby is the king of the show and the facial expressions are hysterical. This is for all ages except stuffy super realist types.

Talking Baby pictures are, almost by definition, atrociously bad, because they HAVE to be. I tuned this one for no other reason than to see how atrociously bad these things will continue to be. Waddayaknow---actually entertaining and funny. Primarily because Bob doesn't really talk very much, and the action goes on around the presence of Bob in the lives of his parents, including warmly-shaped mom, who, at least in the first episode, in her wardrobe, was an incredible feast for the eyes. This is really just an average sit-com, but a relief to find out that a talking-baby picture can somehow be bootsrapped up to average. As a talking baby pic, the head-and-shoulders runner-up to the Mercedes "He's my dad" commercial of several years ago.

This show was great. And it was canceled only a little into the first season. If it wasn't developed enough, or the plot wasn't used to it's fullest, it's because the show wasn't given the chance. Often, first seasons are just finding their footing and aren't the best seasons. Later seasons, if this show hadn't been canceled so early would have gotten better. The whole idea of a baby talking was very funny. And the things the baby said- even funnier. And the parents having to hide the fact that their baby was talking, could have been very funny for a long time too.

First off, I'm getting really mad at those who commented on this dreck, and were positive about it. This is one of the worst shows out there, and one of the most ill-conceived ones for that matter. I mean a talking baby? What's up with that? I mean the whole concept won't work, and it's truly creepy really it is. And how can all of those talented actors, and actresses accept to be on this show? Joely Fisher, Adam Arkin, Eliot Gould. What were you guys thinking? I hope this crap gets canceled soon, but frankly it should have been canned after it first aired.

This show gets no stars.

Having babies talk on shows isn't really an original premise, but then neither are shows like "Friends" or "According to Jim", and they are successful. But this show is creepy and devoid of humour. Especially when the baby was ogling his mom. Weird.
