Better with You

I first watched this because I was channel surfing and didn't recognize the name. Now I make time to watch this great show. It reminds me of 'the old sitcoms' that made me laugh so much. I don't need an intricate plot or running back story to be entertained by a sitcom, I just want the actors to be good and to have some great dialogue. Better with You delivers on these. The premise of viewing relationships from 3 different points of view is fantastically funny, particularly when you're watching the show with your partner and trying to decide which couple you are most like. The ladies definitely drive the comedy of the show, with the men being the foils. Josh Cooke is hilarious as the 'OMG she's dating a musician' boyfriend, and, of course, Debra Jo Rupp is brilliant as the Mom who always has the perfect one liner. I would definitely recommend this show.

This is a GREAT show!! It's silly, and funny, and heart-warming too. I love the chemistry of all the characters together, and in each couples-set. Great jokes, stories and chemistry! Keep this show going-- it makes for a Wednesday that I look forward too!!! I wasn't sure about this show when it first started, but it seemed to get better and better each week. I really do look forward to it coming on, on Wednesdays- it's become a part of my line-up!!! I hope this show continues, and is given every opportunity to be successful, it is a great show! :) This show is surprising, and different. I love how the show starts and ends with each couples versions of an incident or conversation. It's so funny to see how each set handles something. Everyone is very well cast and does a fantastic job. This show is awesome, I just don't know what else I could say-- but, WATCH IT! :)

Kurt Fuller and Debra Jo Rupp played middle aged parents to Mia and Maddie in New York City. First, I would have changed the location somewhere else. New York City has been done to death. Anyway, the sitcom focuses on the elder couple and their two daughters. Maddie is a lawyer who lives with her male partner in a fabulous apartment in the city. Mia is her younger sister who finds love, happiness, and baby on the way with her boyfriend fiancé of seven weeks. Of course, there are moments where they show the differences between a new couple, the long-term couple, and the veteran couple whether in the taxi or in bed or on the couch. I love Debra Jo Rupp who can prove that she's just as good if not better than her previous sitcom fame as the loving seventies mom.

'Better with You' is a very clever comedy with a unique format and incredibly imaginative story lines. Each episode contains fast paced scenes with jokes that feel fresh and original. Since the majority of story lines center completely on 6 well-developed characters (3 couples: one sister and her fiancé, another sister and her LONG-term boyfriend, and the sisters' parents), the show has become funnier and funnier with each episode. If you're new to this show, start from the beginning, and you will quickly fall in love with each character's personality, as well as each quirky storyline. One of the things I most look forward to during each episode are the quick opening and ending tags, which feature "parallels" between the three couples.. these scenes are especially well thought-out and hilariously executed!!

I really do like this show. It certainly deserves more than a 6 point something rating. I could describe it using the words "fresh" and "original" but probably not "hilarious" or "best".

The characters have been growing on me and I like the way the 3 couple's responses are compared in similar situations at the start and end of each episode - it can be very funny, especially the older pair who's relationship is a little err, tried and tested?

The most similar sort of show I could compare it to would be Dharma and Greg, sort of, but I'm hard pressed to think of another show like it.

If I want light, refreshing entertainment, something easy to watch when I first plonk myself down on the lounge after a hard day's work, then "Better with You" is my choice. I don't need to think too much about it and it helps to put the stress of the day behind me and settle me in for a quiet, relaxing evening.
