Oh Baby

This was a cute and unique comedy that I adored. I wish it would have lasted more seasons! A truly endearing situation. Too bad it didn't go to DVD! I would have loved to see how Tracy dealt with the "terrible twos!" Her mother was a scream! Very well cast.

I have seen the first season of this show and what can I say .... I feel I've lost my time in the worst possible way ever.

Silly dialogs , stupid situations and the worst of all: The acting The acting of the main character is horrible , as well as her mother's , his father is boring as hell and her "boyfriend" , well , he is a saint or a very stupid man.

I think nobody can make a show worse than this one.

Please , put back "Friends" or "Just shoot me" and remove this garbage.

"Oh Baby" is a wonderfully made show. Tracy decides her biological clock is ticking and she needs to start a family. After a lot of considering she decides artifical insemination is the way to go. The series shows Tracy as a struggling working Mom and along the way with her nagging Mother and her best friend Charlotte she tries to live a normal life as possible.

Despite the title, this comedy really isn't about having a baby. The first few episodes are, but as the show goes on, it focuses more and more on the character of Tracy, her wacky family, her friends, and her work. It's a very ordinary comedy; the only original part is that we get commentary from Tracy while she watches her life on videotape. The commentary is self-ironic, but rarely truly funny. In fact, nothing about this show is particularly funny. There's a neurotic, cold mother, a weird psychiatrist who can't handle her own kids, and other such clichéd characters. The woman who plays Tracy overacts terribly. It's awful to watch.

Furthermore, I have a problem with the very premise of this show. OK, so Tracy feels like it's time for her to have a baby. Her boyfriend disagrees. So the logical conclusion to that is - she dumps the guy and has artificial insemination? What? I must admit I agreed with her family that it was a weird choice to make. I'm not against artificial insemination or single Moms, I just think it's a choice you should give some thought to, and Tracy just seems to do it as a lark. So how can this show depict the problems of women who have artificial insemination, if it makes it seem like an easy decision you do overnight? All in all, a terrible show. I'm glad it was canceled.
