Carol's Second Act

This series just isn't that good despite the incredibly gifted Patty Heaton. Two hits out of three aren't bad though. Maybe they can corral the writing and production teams for 'The Middle', one of the best and most unappreciated comedies in recent television history, to come up with an appropriate sitcom (no laugh track please) deserving of Patty's amazing flair for comedy.

Maybe I am the only person who can relate to this show. I will enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Seeing Kyle McLaughlin was a thrill (I named my son after him).

Patricia Heaton is sooo likeable but that is the only reason to watch this - it is unfortunately cliched and corny. There is the occasional nice line but largely you will have seen this done before and done far better.

It is one-dimensional fare - there is no depth to it, no real craft and the laughter track will eventually irritate you into looking elsewhere for some entertainment...

A pity but this is not v good.

I hope this gets better. 1 episode in and it's a dumpster fire. So much talent going to waste ... I'm sad :(

I like Patricia Heaton, but the writers have her character acting too giddy, too foolish for a grown woman. The foolish behavior it too over the top for a mature woman.
