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.

Ken Park (Ken Jeong) is a wise-cracking HMO doctor. With wife Allison (Suzy Nakamura), he has two kids; Dave (Albert Tsai) and Molly (Krista Marie Yu). D.K. (Dana Lee) is his old-world dad. Pat (Dave Foley) runs the clinic. Damona (Tisha Campbell-Martin), Clark (Jonathan Slavin), and Julie (Kate Simses) are the nurses.

The Hangover's Ken Jeong tries to do a standard network sitcom show. Asian-Americans have had a troubled past until recently. This may be trying to be too safe. There is nothing terribly funny here. I can only recall a couple of notable shows, both dealing with his parents. It's not surprising that the dad got included as a regular. Ken may be best as a wacky side character. He struggles as a traditional central lead.

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.

The pilot was painful. I couldn't get thru it. Typical sitcom shtick that I am not a fan. I am more of the Arrested Development variety.

However, As a Nurse (if you saw the 2nd episode you might get the reference) I find a lot more humor in the 2nd episode. Perhaps it comes from my being in health-care and seeing the US health-care system and arrogant doctors skewered. The 2nd episode was much more enjoyable.

I'm going to keep watching. I think the early reviewers jumped the gun reviewing off the pilot. Pilots are always rough and rocky. They rarely show the true potential.

I <3 Ken Jeong.
