Indebted

Oh wow. What is happening here. I watched the entire pilot and I was so confused... like how did this make it to air? Who screwed up along the way? Writing? Directing? Acting? Producing? Editing? There is no way someone somewhere didn't make a horrible mistake. HUGE Adam pally fan which is why I tuned in. Even the promos leading up to it was very cringy. I never thought I could actually look at someone completely differently. Abby Elliot I never had a problem with but her acting was so over the top insane I couldn't stop watching. Why is this show happening?! Can we all start from scratch or just pull the plug ASAP?!! The laugh track needs to go, the acting of everyone needs to tone down and the writing and directing needs to be taken over by professionals. The premise I maybe could have been behind if they executed perfectly.

It truly was painful to watch these two actors who I love, Fran Drescher and Steven Weber, in the tired, old-sitcom. Why is Steven Weber speaking like an old Jewish man from a NYC deli? The writing is so bad. I waited for a rim shot after every line. I had to shut it off when they showed up on their date. Plus I thought the wife was annoying. When are the networks going to realize that this type of comedy was over in the 80's? I wish I liked it but no.

Ever since the Mindy Project, I've been waiting for Adam to find a hit show. This show has a chance but I'm sorry to say his wife is not the move and the parents are ok. They need better writers.

I was hoping this would be good, but...

Writing...bad. Jokes...elementary. Discount Kaley Cuoco....sigh Canned laughter...intolerable Acting...it's like they're all reading off a teleprompter.

Definitely not for me.

As I watched the pilot episode, I thought, "Surely, this is a parody of a 1990s three-camera sitcom with a laugh track," and I kept waiting for them to break character or something, but the tired old jokes just kept coming and coming. I cannot believe that in this day and age anyone green-lit a sitcom so trite, shallow, and nonsensical. Why are 35-year-olds with young kids presented as if they're empty-nesters? Why do all of these people live in Stamford, Connecticut and yet are now bankrupt from knee surgery? How did so many talented people end up in this turkey?
