Dr. Ken

I agree with the other poster who said that this show should've been on HBO so that it would've had more freedom. There's an edge to it,but you feel that just as a great line was going somewhere, there was an edit. Ken is brilliant as always and the son is tv gold, I hope we see them work together again soon, and for much longer.

Look l just read all the previous reviews and don't get how they didn't laugh.

Yes it is a fast paced show for a short period of time, sure they could have dragged out the story lines, but why would you.

Everyone in our family were laughing at different bits in the show. It is a fun family show that depicts things that happen in everyday life, obviously these days people are so sensitive that they can't even laugh at the things we all know to be true.

Don't read what the haters are saying, watch the show and decide if it's the kind of humour that's for you.

It's a pretty run of the mill sitcom. A lot of jokes jokes go for the obvious. A lot of the appeal for it, at least for me, was Ken Jeong coming fresh off of Community, and bringing a number of his co-stars in for cameos. But watching through it, nothing was really anything more than adequate. Other sitcoms do the jokes better, but if you like the cast it works. The best analogy I can think of is it's like oatmeal, it'll work for what you want, but it's bland and there are better options.

I remember watching this show and thinking that it would be ten times better if it was on HBO and he could be free to do whatever he wanted. Anyone who has seen Ken Jeong's bloopers knows that he is a fantastic improviser, and when he does it he can make you cry laughing. If he had that kind of freedom this show would probably still be on air.

To sum it up, this is a family sitcom with a fake laugh track, shot entirely in a studio, where the main character tries to balance his career, his marriage, and his family.

So you have seen it a gazillion times. Over and over, in sooo many forms, yet, every time it remains essentially the same.

Ken Jeong, an actual doctor who turned into a comedian (best known for the Hangover movies and the Community TV-series) tries to be funny, but he doesn't try to be different.

You expect to catch a few jokes here and there, and, ...well...at least smile with them, but the relatively fast pace with the loud fake laughs makes this show tiresome really quick. You might want to like it, because Jeong is otherwise a good comedian, but it doesn't let you to.

Overall: I don't think that it will go far. It's the oldest recipe on TV and the execution doesn't have to offer something new.
