Sean Saves the World

I don't know about anyone else but I've had Jack withdrawals for years and there is only so many times you can watch repeats of will and grace...OK that was a lie, please forgive me baby Jesus.

This show has so much potential and you should never judge a new series before the 6th episode unless of course its an action show and the graphics is terribly poor from the get go, in which case you should jump ship immediately.

This has all the ingredients for a good watch that does have punch lines that make you laugh and just to reiterate again SEAN HAYES PEOPLE! Plus gays are so hot right now, its better than another show based on a fat useless ugly man married to an attractive woman who has an annoying family member and is full of chauvinistic punch lines...Just saying.

I just hope that I don't get too attached and it doesn't get signed for a second season. The competition is pretty tough with sitcoms these days but I will always Have time for Sean.

This is NOT a "Will and Grace" reunion, but a mismatched ensemble of clichés led by a regurgitation of Sean Hayes' "Jack" character who plays a father but...surprise(?) happens to be gay. The adult-themed "humor" and writing often crosses the line of good taste and makes the producers and cast look like perverts for subjecting underage actors to it. Karen...er...excuse me, Linda Lavin's timing is slow and off (even the editing can't seem to fix this). Sean has seriously soured his own legacy and type-cast himself into oblivion. While too painful to watch, the show is unfortunately a wind-sock for the stagnation of ideas and writing we are currently experiencing, as well as the career desperation of the actors participating on the show.

Sean Saves the World sometimes gets it right. Sean Hayes occasionally delivers the great one-liner in his portrayal of Sean, a single father left in charge of his daughter Ellie (Samantha Isler) when his ex-wife moved to New York. His character is not as off the wall as it was in Will and Grace. He's not as overly dramatic and excitable as he once was. Still has the same flare, just not as loud. I agree with another reviewer that the highlight of the show is Thomas Lennon who plays Sean's new boss, Max. Since seeing Lennon in Seventeen Again and tiny parts like Doug in I Love You, Man I've been amazed at his comedic ability. He's like Jane Lynch, a great character actor that can make any part his own, even if the script is a tad weak. With him on board I see potential in this show.

I really wanted to like this because I think Sean Hayes is a really talented comic actor but this show is terribly forced. It wants to be funny but isn't. I found more natural acting on a Disney channel tween show.

Scrap the whole thing Sean, bring back Jack and his mother (from one episode) played by Veronica Cartwright in a "Will & Grace" spin-off.

It is great to see Linda Lavin but "kiss by grits" she isn't strong enough to help this.

I saw that James Burrows directed - at least - the first episode but his creative genius isn't evident.

Make the pain stop...

Oh wait, I did by not watching after the second episode.

I am sincerely surprised to see such a low rating .. So many comedy programs that try to steal a giggle are just silly and brain numbing..THIS is one very funny show and a 8 out of 10 on my rate chart... I am ONLY sorry that it is just a 30 minutes episode of laughing!! ( which is where it lost its 2 points) ..Great characters and actors.. Great one-liners... Great comedic timing... Hopefully through word of mouth, folks will hear about it and catch on to this new show... I would hate to see it axed.... As far as entertainment goes, this one works... in spades...!! The reason I don't comment on here, is that I can never think of 10 lines to write....Perhaps that is why I should keep my day job..???
