One Big Happy

Elisha Cuthbert is a star, but this character is poorly conceived and poorly written. I'd love to see her in something with smarter writing. It's not too late to bring back Happy Endings, is it? The other characters don't give us much to latch on to. Nick Zano is white bread. Kelly Brook seems to be acting with her boobs. Meanwhile, I'm not a fan of laugh tracks in general, but I find this one particularly loud and annoying to the point of distraction. I'd love to see Elisha Cuthbert in something with smarter writing. Is it too late to bring back Happy Endings?

One Big Happy appears to have been hastily conceived and dashed off. After watching 2 eps, it's off my list.

so the sitcom is okay the idea is new and fresh yet the execution was so weak and no where on point.

I don't know maybe it's the Cast or the writer Liz Feldman but i know that a 100% i didn't even giggle for once ..

I really love Ellen DeGeneres but i believe she jumped into producing this show just out of pity on her friend Liz and it was not a good idea.

Elisha Cuthbert and Nick Zano used too much of talking with the "dumb,,dumb" voice in the beginning... I don't know what Kelly Brook is doing !! like seriously why !! just two big b00bs with a couple of censored nudity scenes ...

Elisha Cuthbert's performance was so unconvincing as a lesbian. In happy endings she was hilarious ,, yet to be fair Nick Zano's was okay presenting the naive rational pretty face,,, but seriously thou the whole cast acted that way ,, i mean at least bring up a character who acts like knowing everything and acting smarter than everybody just to change the stupidity tone a bit.

overall i didn't really think it's a comedy worthy of watching... it might be good but so not good enough.

I really enjoyed this show, and no, I'm not being paid to say that. I love the characters, the dialogue has plenty of snap, crackle, and pop, and the producers of Smallville, among other shows, owe Kelly Brock an apology for writing such a blah character for her that American audiences didn't get to see what a charismatic presence she can be. I enjoyed the stories and storylines not just because they were interesting in and of themselves, not just because it was nice to see lesbian characters in stories that neither ignored their identity nor treated it as something inherently different from all the other situations that are mined for comedy, but because they're not the same old sitcom storylines we've seen over and over and over.

Also, I want pretty much everything in Prudence's wardrobe, especially the dresses, especially the dress in the pilot with the pink print. Prudence included would be nice.

There are positives to this show: the energy, the look of the show, decent cast (except the male lead, Nick Zano is a good straight man in other sitcoms, but terrible when allowed to emote)

His performance and the embarrassingly piped-in laugh-track, and 'woo' track, and the writing is corny. So far, of the post 'Happy Endings' alum, this is the worst. Marry Me and Weird Loners are far superior. Benched was even a little better than One Big Happy. New Girl with Marlon Wayans Jr, doesn't really count as he left the show and returned to it. The best of these don't rely on the fake laugh track. I'm starting to loathe Big Bang Theory too - which relies too heavily on it.

All in all, the gags, as quirky and loud as they are, don't work. But there are worse shows.

I thought I would like this but after suffering through the first episode and some of the second, I decided it's not strong enough to pass time each week in front of the boob tube. Even Ellen Degeneres producing this couldn't make it funny.

The rhythm is off that the actors wait for the joke's payoff, and the joke's aren't always funny or worth the wait. I don't believe Elisha as an overly organized lesbian, or her relationship with Nick Zano as her roommate/best friend/baby daddy. Kelly Brock is OK I guess, but I don't believe her chemistry with Nick Zano's character. The friends are funny, little bit players that add dimension to a very flat show.

Cute cast but not enough to carry this sitcom. Bummer. I miss the days of really solid sitcoms on network TV.
