Grandfathered

I know know, I know... Ratings are everything. Not enough viewers means no more seasons. But (based on ratings on IMDB) I really do believe this show could become a BIG hit. If investors just had enough gut... and enough patience. But no. Too bad. It's a great show with the perfect actors for this kind of show. One can only hope for a second chance...

OK, John Stamos is back with a new comedy. It is about a self-centered 50+ bachelor who his life turns upside down when his -never met before- 26 y.o. son enters his life. And bares a baby with him, a grandchild for our hero.

The series is build heavily around Stamos's character who is practically in every scene.

The script is mildly funny. A couple awkward moments which the hero masters gracefully, some self-sarcasm and....well...pretty much that's it. Not heavy jokes or tense moments.

So, it is a comedy for really light viewing. No fake laugh track is always a plus. Not the best newcomer of the season but you may want to give it a try.

It feels like John Stamos wrote the script and directed everything. I feel soooo much Full House/Fuller House vibes in this show. But no, I'm not complaining, it's really funny and sweet comedy. It's not even overdone. It has tho this cliche point, where every episode starts with the bad-guy-trying-to-be-good messing things up and end with him making everything better. But well, the actors are good and when this cliche point and Full House vibes don't bother you, then it's actually really worth the watch. But I hate that it ended, the ending was sooo interesting and they literally ended at the most interesting part!!!

i enjoyed this show quite a bit. The absence of a laugh track got me hooked immediately. I love that the writers and producers trust the audience to know what is funny, without having to use fake laughter to prompt them as to what they deem funny. Whenever I start watching a new comedy series, as soon as I realize there is a laugh track, I stop watching, except in the case of Mom. This series has the same kind of snappy, clever writing as Midern Family and Mom. The ensemble work really well together and everybody seems well cast. I feel they have used a very good guideline in introducing the premise, the characters and the setting. Time will tell if they can keep up the pace and whether the audience will support it.. Not having, particularly, been a fan of John Stamos, I found him a good fit to be the lead character. Fox seems to have the upper hand when it comes to comedy.

Well another comedy by Fox along with the grinder and looking to reserve a slot between the Hit Brookline Nine-Nine and the Last man on earth ... it got "as always" a new fresh original plot .. the script seemed fine with more than a couple of laughable moments.

The chemistry between John Stamos and Josh Peck is noticeably delightful and tempting to keep on watching and crossing the line there's Paget Brewster whom i really love.

Daniel Chun is a really talented young writer and he thrived on Simpsons and now making a really creative show with a catchy story.

The show overall is Okay and it is recommended to be watched but still need to know what the situation would be on Fox as not all shows survive on the network as they ordered 3 episodes and with possibility to double it but that is still not a clear picture of the show future.
