I Hate My Teenage Daughter

Granted, not the best new comedy ever and definitely not "My Name is Earl," but I still had to defend "I Hate My teenage Daughter." Plenty of shows still use laugh tracks and I definitively see potential and room for character and plot development. Most of all I had to comment on the reviewers who saw hating their teenage daughters as implausible. Do any of you even have children? Or even nieces? Or remember being daughters and how terrible they were to their mothers? I was most definitely one of them! Whether it was merited or not is another story entirely! Most girls, especially of this generation are awful! They think they know it all and are horrible to everyone, their mothers especially. Naturally their mothers hate them back(in a very loving way of course)! It's not until they reach adulthood that they can actually appreciate their mothers, if ever! This show has its place in down to earth, true to real life, silly comedies. The daughters may be a bit generic, but to adults most teenage girls are! I hope they develop the characters, but it makes me laugh and remember my teenage years and I'm sure hits, at times possibly uncomfortable yet hilariously, close to home for many mother's of teenage girls. To the fans, enjoy and give it a chance! To the writers, you are on to something here! Just veer away from the stereotypical and cheesy and embrace the real and hilarious! Especially the raw comedic talent you have in Jaime Pressley!

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.

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.

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.

Show is terribly made from top to bottom. Seriously what shows still use a laugh track? Either you get laughs from a live audience or don't bother with it.

Jaime Pressly was written and cast perfectly as Joy on My Name is Earl but has a terrible character to play here. How can you have someone who played Joy Turner in one of the funniest sitcom characters to play such a dull and played out boring character like this is beyond me.

The daughters were interchangeable and uninteresting characters that you really don't care why they're such pains in the butt.

The show basically just wimps out for the sake of sentimentality. Bad execution by the writing on this show.
