Jann

I laughed quite a bit and felt emotional too. The first episode of this series I watched was episode five, "You've Been Soft Served."

Jann is hilarious. Her demeanour and self-deprecating humour is fantastic and appropriate.

This episode, which I stumbled across after leaving an episode of Bob's Burgers run too long, opened my eyes. Jann's performance is superb. I want to watch more.

Look. I read the comments. Didn't know what I'd think. I binged the whole thing in a day. I'd never even heard of her before. I thinks it's cute and funny. The haters (ones who obviously haven't got there yet) gonna hate. I found a funny, well developed storyline and characters. It's good fun TV. And props to her for making Calgary somewhere I'd like to visit.

I didn't want to like it.

But, I did.

Jann Arden is funny.

She's really funny.

The show is quirky.

The characters remind me of Letter Kenny and Corner Gas.

That's it.

I am a fan.

Now I have no idea who this Jann person is, I just started watching a random comedy series and I got just that. This isn't a great show but it's goodish, much better than most new shows.

A long-time fan of Jann's from south of the border, I was pleased to see this show "on offer" the other day, so I went ahead and took the bait.

One of my very better choices. The writing is first-class, the performances top-drawer, and this show deserves to be long-run success. The worst thing about it is that there are only 2 eps. left to go on this first series. (6 eps.: way, way too few!!) That is, that's the worst thing unless the unthinkable (literally unthinkable) were to happen and it is not renewed. This is one damn funny show -- perhaps especially if you happen to be a little further on in life to appreciate more viscerally some of the writing, etc. ( I'm 65 (67?) myself, and while I haven't done "fame" (or the backside of fame), I've garnered enough experiences to appreciate some of the major arcs -- and their treatment - in this show. )

9 stars from me - and I'm no pushover. Long may she live!
