Freddie

actually I think the show is hysterical ! and so do a lot of other people I know. We all talk about it at work- I love it I think he did a great job all the other cast members are great Brian Austin Green great to see him back and so funny. Not only is it good for adults there is laughter for young adults too. I think they should pick up this show for a full season. I was sad to see it was not on this week and thought it might have been canceled but there is another show on January 25th. Freddie is great its about time. We need laughter in our living rooms again.I cant wait for the next episode. I know a lot of people have comments about this show but in my experience if they keep it, it will be a hit.

"Freddie" is a programme that probably should never have been produced. It is poorly written, very unrealistic and worst of all - it's not funny.

Freddie Prinze Jr. as the star of the show SHOULD carry its weight but sadly he is not up to it. His performance is forever pushed and unnatural, it's as though he is trying to create a mix of Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer (who both have a natural comedic flair) but ends up failing horribly.

The grandma strand is just ridiculous. She speaks Spanish, never uttering a word of English, and yet she understands everything anyone says to her (and also now apparently everyone understands Spanish too). It seems like the writers were trying to mask the shows terrible script with a bit of class - subtitles. However, a stench can only be covered for so long.

There is one slight saving grace which makes this show watchable at the very most, Brian Astin Green. This should have been his show. Prinze Jr is not unlikeable but he can't muster the same sort of charisma as his sidekick and that's a problem when a sidekick out-shows the star.

"Freddie" relies heavily on canned laughter and it's obvious why, this is the unfunniest comedy series of the season.

Freddie Prinze Jr was at the height of his popularity when ABC got him his own show. Sadly, its failure signaled the start of his career's decline. Apparently other than the name, nobody put any effort into this show. Naming this show Freddie was all these guys could come up with.

I don't particularly hate the show. There is nothing hateful or unlikeable about Freddie or the show. But there is nothing special or memorable either. Nobody in the cast stands out. It is not that funny. I certainly don't remember any big laughs. There was no reason to renew it after its single season.

Don't get me wrong i like Freddie Prinze Jr, I'm think he is kinda cute, and have a couple of nice roles in movies. But i still don't get him as a funny guy...oh wait: a latino funny rich chef guy! since when Freddy is Latino?, i didn't know that...anyway...the point is the series is not that bad, i admit i am very surprise to see Austin Green playing comedy very nicely...and the girls on the show are quite good too. But Freddie as a leading role...he is trying so hard to be like Matt Le Blanc in Joey, and he looks a little bit like him too ( well without some extra pounds..sorry Matty), you can see he is trying to much to be funny...or at least is what i see. Anyway watch the series, and good luck i know Fred is a nice guy, and he deserve success, lets see if with a full season i can change my mind...

I must admit, I only started watching this show because of the recognizable members of the cast (Freddie Prinze Jr, Brian Austin Green, Madchen Amick), but I find it to be one of the funniest sitcoms on TV right now. I totally disagree with the comment that it is trying to be like Joey, mostly because whenever I've tried to watch Joey, I find it pretty boring- I usually can't even sit through an episode! Freddie is fresh and funny without being typical. I especially like that the grandmother only speaks in Spanish...there's something so hilarious about comedy through subtitles. Prinze's comic timing is surprisingly wonderful, given some of his romantic comedy bombs in the past (Summer Catch anyone?) and who knew that Brian Austin Green was so funny? The characters in the show are quite entertaining especially Freddie's drunken widow sister-in-law (Amick) and rich, shallow, womanizing best friend (Green). These two are supremely funny when in scenes together. All in all, I'd say it's a great show that's completely worth watching!
