Grandfathered

Honestly, a little late but started watching this during the christmas break! Such a comedic, diverse cast and theirs good representation so their something for everyone.

I loved the premise of this show. It's hard not to love a show where lost family members find each other; Although the son Gerald was a bit annoying his funny/cute relationship with his girlfriend and dad made him bearable. It would of been nice to see more moments between Jimmy and Gerald. Also how hilarious was the mum such perfect comedic timing, I spent the entirety of this show rooting for her to get with a decent guy and was sad when they made jimmy lie like that at the end.

Grandfathered was a nice surprise! The show is about a sworn bachelor that finds out that he has not only a son but a granddaughter too! The pilot was spoiled by the promo I watched before but still I found it enjoyable. You cannot compare this to strong comedy shows like "modern family" but maybe to shows like "baby daddy" where the main idea is the same: (almost)grown-ups trying to come in terms with parenthood. Not an original idea of course but the execution here is a successful one. John Stamos is doing a good job as the grandpa and the chemistry between the cast is nice too. Paget is lovely in comedy as she can really keep up a straight face when saying something hilarious (Parenthood is pretty much an endless string of moments where you think you've killed your kid.<-I liked that quote) I just watched episode 4 and I have to say that I like that show: it's really sweet, the chemistry is right and there lots of ways to evolve it; this is exactly why I really like family comedy. I really hope this show lasts more than one season!

John Stamos excels in "Grandfsthered".Superb character development throughout.I much prefer Stamos as a Grandfater over being Uncle Jesse.Loved seeing Bob Staget cameo.The portrayed situations are very believable.This show is definitely a highlight of the new season.I shall be tuning in every week.The baby is adorable.Stamos plays his role in a charming believable manner.The support characters are well cast,particularly the son.I look forward to watching the progress of Stamos establishing relationships with his Sonn,Granddaughter,Grandmother and his restaurant staff as they adjust to his new persona.It is interesting to witness the background of the restaurant business.

I know know, I know... Ratings are everything. Not enough viewers means no more seasons. But (based on ratings on IMDB) I really do believe this show could become a BIG hit. If investors just had enough gut... and enough patience. But no. Too bad. It's a great show with the perfect actors for this kind of show. One can only hope for a second chance...

So dumb for Fox to cancel this. I think the show deserved another season, at least, to wrap things up. This show seems more suitable for something like Hulu. I was rooting for the show to continue.
