Imaginary Mary

If this had been made in the 1990s, it would be right at home on TGIF between Step by Step and Boy Meets World. Jenna Elfman is the QUEEN of physical comedy (and Stephen Schneider is no slouch either). My favorite characters have to be the kids though, especially Andy. The kid that plays him is HILARIOUS. (Teenage me would have been super in love with him, for sure.) Rachel Dratch as Mary is super fun too and she is used just the right amount, not overwhelmingly so.

Imaginary Mary is just one of those sitcoms with a simple, well executed premise that the whole family can enjoy. It really has so much potential, hopefully ABC thinks so too.

On paper, the show's premise turned me away but I found myself watching ten minutes of it and not turning it off. Mary is more of the voices in the main character's head, a la JD's voice overs in Scrubs. I hate to compare the two shows but that is the heart of Imaginary Mary- an insecure character like Scrubs. Give it a chance, you will probably be surprised.

My girl Jenna Elfman is back again this time in a new series for "ABC" called "Imaginary Mary" and it's very funny and different and for sure it's a sexy eye candy treat since it has Jenna Elfman in it! All of us can relate to having an imaginary friend from our childhood days, only with this series the little friend comes back to life and follows this sexy adult woman around in life to help her make choices. Jenna Elfman is Alice a workaholic sports public relations director who finally meets a guy of interest named Ben(Steve Schneider)who's a single father and how will Alice balance it all, well her little blue friend gives her advice on dealing with kids and having intimacy! Only it's seems that the little creature is a troublemaker! Still plenty of fun is had as Alice is one sexy colored bra wearing modern girl(Jenna Elfman rocks she's so sexy and cute). Overall good fun little series to watch that teaches life, while it takes things carefree and of course watch it for Jenna Elfman!

The show is OK, but nothing Mary does or says anymore is funny. Most of her lines these days are like "way to go!" or "woo who!" - what would make the show great is if Mary was a total nutcase and made Alice's life a living hell.

There are funny moments that come from the interaction between Alice and the family though.

Cute idea but needs better writers and directors! Was looking forward to the show because I love Jenna Elfman but it goes beyond funny to stupid/ridiculous. I believe it could work with more imaginative writers. Doubt it lasts. I may watch one more episode just to see if they get it together but from what I've seen so far(one episode), not optimistic. I was even disappointed with Jenna's over the top silliness. Even Mary could be more "human". Although she is the title character she hardly seems relevant since her advice is usually bad or ignored... so what's the point? As it is, TWO THUMBS DOWN!
