One Big Happy

I watch a lot of TV... everyone is different.. But in my honest opinion, anyone rating this a 8 out of 10 or higher, had to be paid or have something to lose. I think you could give it a 5 out of 10 for being a nice person.

For me, to started off slow. By half way through, I was looking for something else. I just couldn't find this funny and not sure how it will last. The plot is just so so... I think I semi chuckled just once. Having the background laughs for each scene is so misleading. And the one girl with the British accent? I think it's being forced into the show too much and for me, was actually annoying.

Don't waste your time on this one.

What exactly is the point of creating such a comedy is beyond my understanding.

Ellen DeGeneres is serving as a producer and the show is about a lesbian who got pregnant from her bisexual best friend/roommate, so I guess it's about trying to get people more familiar, even more tolerable to "new forms" of family.

I didn't mention that her bff/roommate is married with...Kelly Brook (who plays a girl that he decided to marry after only one date) and they all live now together under the same roof.

I'm writing this review while watching the 2nd episode that Liz Feldman (the creator) wrote.

The script is lame as f.., the acting is terrible and the jokes are non existent. Add to all this the most annoying laughing track ever, that hits your ears every 3 to 5 seconds, and you have the recipe of a disaster.

It doesn't seem possible for this to improve in later episodes, so you better stay away and watch something else.

I enjoyed the show, I thought it was pretty funny and weird. Which are two of my favorite things. I hope it doesn't get canceled and we get to see some sort of character development. In the pilot you get to meet the main characters and their goals, which is important in starting out a sit-com. I found the jokes pretty funny and random which makes it quite fun and quirky. The short half-an-hour had quite a bit of content and you can easily see the running gags in the show. It remains to be seen if they're going to become annoying or catch on like the famous "Bazinga" or "Knock-Knock-Knock Penny". Overall, I'm excited to see another episode to see if I can really indulge myself in it. Been looking for a new sit- com to watch. I hope others can see the potential and humour in the show to make it popular.

I thought I would like this but after suffering through the first episode and some of the second, I decided it's not strong enough to pass time each week in front of the boob tube. Even Ellen Degeneres producing this couldn't make it funny.

The rhythm is off that the actors wait for the joke's payoff, and the joke's aren't always funny or worth the wait. I don't believe Elisha as an overly organized lesbian, or her relationship with Nick Zano as her roommate/best friend/baby daddy. Kelly Brock is OK I guess, but I don't believe her chemistry with Nick Zano's character. The friends are funny, little bit players that add dimension to a very flat show.

Cute cast but not enough to carry this sitcom. Bummer. I miss the days of really solid sitcoms on network TV.

Lizzy (Elisha Cuthbert) and Luke (Nick Zano) are lifelong best friends. She's an uptight lesbian and he's a charming womanizer. They follow up on a pledge to have a child together. Before she tells him that she's pregnant, he announces that he has met the love of his life and plans to marry the British Prudence (Kelly Brook) who needs help to stay in the country.

These are perfectly workable comic actors but they are given the broadest and most cheapest of material. I like Cuthbert but she's playing slightly against type as uptight. It doesn't always work but I do like the attempt. Zano is a beautiful man with loads of charm. Brook has two big assets and her wild big personality do grow on me. The biggest problem is that the writing is groan inducing most of the time. The friend characters are boring. If the writing isn't so bad, the actors could have salvage something.
