Sean Saves the World

First of all I just want to say this is a sitcom, and not a contender for the Oscars, people seem to be being rather harsh, that being said...

Sean Hayes plays a very willing father to an estranged daughter (Samantha Isler) who was left in his care after the mother thought she needed to move on and when the daughter objected, left her with her father, oh and btw Sean the father is gay which immediately opens us up to a whole bunch of comically awkward scenarios!

Helping Sean with his new charge is his very stern mother Lorna (Lida Lavin) and his very outgoing, slightly loose female best friend Liz (Megan Hilty), the mother being a little too strict, the friend being a little too easy-going but between the three of them they try to do their best for the young lady, an adolescent 14-year-old with all the baggage that comes with this very strange and new situation, but they handle it with smiles love and laughter, lots of laughter!

The show bounces between Sean's home life and work life... Work being trying to run an online retail store which has recently acquired a new and very strange owner Max, played by the wonderful Thomas Lennon, who just loves to make Sean's life both difficult and awkward. Fortunately to help Sean along at work is his aforementioned best friend Liz and their very funny co-worker Hunter (Echo Kellum)

Now I'm not going to say that this show is original, some might even call the characters cliché, nonetheless it works!

I was grinning from ear to ear throughout the two episodes I have seen so far, Sean Hayes has a very big fan base and as long as people do not expect him to be Jack, I think they will be pleasantly surprised by the witty humor, comically awkward situations and family bonding that this show seems to give out quite generously.

Both my wife and I have agreed that of all the new shows that have started this fall season of 2013 this is definitely a winner and we wish to see it continue bringing smiles to our faces!

I don't know about anyone else but I've had Jack withdrawals for years and there is only so many times you can watch repeats of will and grace...OK that was a lie, please forgive me baby Jesus.

This show has so much potential and you should never judge a new series before the 6th episode unless of course its an action show and the graphics is terribly poor from the get go, in which case you should jump ship immediately.

This has all the ingredients for a good watch that does have punch lines that make you laugh and just to reiterate again SEAN HAYES PEOPLE! Plus gays are so hot right now, its better than another show based on a fat useless ugly man married to an attractive woman who has an annoying family member and is full of chauvinistic punch lines...Just saying.

I just hope that I don't get too attached and it doesn't get signed for a second season. The competition is pretty tough with sitcoms these days but I will always Have time for Sean.

This is NOT a "Will and Grace" reunion, but a mismatched ensemble of clichés led by a regurgitation of Sean Hayes' "Jack" character who plays a father but...surprise(?) happens to be gay. The adult-themed "humor" and writing often crosses the line of good taste and makes the producers and cast look like perverts for subjecting underage actors to it. Karen...er...excuse me, Linda Lavin's timing is slow and off (even the editing can't seem to fix this). Sean has seriously soured his own legacy and type-cast himself into oblivion. While too painful to watch, the show is unfortunately a wind-sock for the stagnation of ideas and writing we are currently experiencing, as well as the career desperation of the actors participating on the show.

In spite of the setup (gay man raising a daughter) this show almost never freed itself from being a very generic sitcom. First few episodes were bad and the worst one was the one about buying the bra, but after that it kind of picked itself up and was enjoyable for me.

Yes it was generic but I liked it because it relaxed me. Some people turn on sounds of rain falling or nature sounds, but I watch sitcoms like this.

I am sincerely surprised to see such a low rating .. So many comedy programs that try to steal a giggle are just silly and brain numbing..THIS is one very funny show and a 8 out of 10 on my rate chart... I am ONLY sorry that it is just a 30 minutes episode of laughing!! ( which is where it lost its 2 points) ..Great characters and actors.. Great one-liners... Great comedic timing... Hopefully through word of mouth, folks will hear about it and catch on to this new show... I would hate to see it axed.... As far as entertainment goes, this one works... in spades...!! The reason I don't comment on here, is that I can never think of 10 lines to write....Perhaps that is why I should keep my day job..???
