I Hate My Teenage Daughter

It's a shame to see Jamie Pressly go down in flames. I love her work, I really do, but now she took a bite that is too rotten to swallow. This show just doesn't deliver. Dialogue is too forced, not even funny and I don't see any kind of chemistry between the characters or the cast. Actresses portraying the daughters better hope something good comes up and this show gets canceled, otherwise you don't have to be a fortune teller to see two careers ruined.

Okay, there might be a good joke or two per episode but the writers better get their heads out from their asses and start writing something that is truly witty and funny. Now it's just simply not funny by any standards. By judging how this series looks now I wouldn't get my hopes up about seeing a second season.

OK first of all I like Jaime Pressly. I think she is a good actress. I happened upon this show by complete accident, it was on a channel i don't normally watch, i didn't c the premiere of it. FIRST, the name of the show SUCKS. Mothers DO NOT hate their daughters. They should come up with a better name. SECOND, Jamie was trying too hard in episode 2. episode 2 wasn't bad..i might watch next week to c IF it improves or not. that is, if i can find it again. The rest of the cast was OK, nothing really special BUT its early. I didn't think they should start this new show right off, with such a serious problem as teens having babies. to me, that is something they can take on IF they get "picked up" by the network. they should have started off easier and perhaps a little bit funnier - after all, it IS a sitcom. The supporting cast seemed to be OK, but not seeing the first episode i was slightly lost in who was who. Maybe i will check it out next week, if you have read my review, thanks - please check back next week to see if i review episode 3 or not.

First of all I have to say one thing to the other "reviewers", LIGHTEN UP!!!! Its a sitcom folks not a Pulitzer prize nominated documentary. I think the purpose of the show is to make us laugh for a few minutes out of the day and that's exactly what it did for me. Granted, the show is still new and the characters are still being developed but I thought it was genuinely funny. I think the chemistry between all the characters was very good, the story lines are hip and current, and the jokes were, dare I say, funny! The only complaint I have is yeah the girls look a little older than fifteen. But other than that, I liked it and I'm going to keep watching it.

I Hate My Teenage Daughter: everything that is wrong with canned-laughter sitcoms with so-called punch-lines. I totally got tricked by a preview, but the execution was SITCOM-HELL. This format needs to retire, so that single camera comedies can have more room. These shows are uninspired and employ hacks that have been in the industry forever. They need to try harder. Seriously, stop this FORMULA. It isn't a winner. Boring. Excessively jokey with jokes that aren't even funny. Learn to write? Don't try so hard? There needs to be an end to these shows. Stop the formula of formulaic formula. There really has to be an end for these shows. The line-producers that get paid to make this recycled crap need to be unemployed. Mainly, they need to stop making these shows. At some point, these kinds of shows need to stop being made.

OK, I know that I really like Jaime Pressly because she is simply HOT, HOT, HOT, but she can really be bloody funny and this show is a really good comedy. I haven't seen Katie Finneran in much comedy, but between the 2 of them, you are going to need a thick towel on your chair because you are going to wet your self laughing. Who would have thought that you could take the horror and struggles of going through a young girls teenage years and make it an appealing comedy for the family. I give this show (I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER) 8 out of 10, but only so there is some room in case they make a few episodes even better.

Happy Viewing from Mike.

PS: if you don't find this show funny, see your Doctor immediately, because you have either lost your hearing, eyesight or your mind :-)
