One Big Happy

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 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.

You will enjoy this if you dont take this seriously. i mean look at the basic plot of the show. it is a comedy. the plot has potential to go some where and generrate really funny situations. and it was going somewhere when it got cancelled. i wished it lasted few more episodes. shame it was a great premise for a sitcom. ofcourse it was not perfect. but they could have done a lot with this story line and characters.

There are positives to this show: the energy, the look of the show, decent cast (except the male lead, Nick Zano is a good straight man in other sitcoms, but terrible when allowed to emote)

His performance and the embarrassingly piped-in laugh-track, and 'woo' track, and the writing is corny. So far, of the post 'Happy Endings' alum, this is the worst. Marry Me and Weird Loners are far superior. Benched was even a little better than One Big Happy. New Girl with Marlon Wayans Jr, doesn't really count as he left the show and returned to it. The best of these don't rely on the fake laugh track. I'm starting to loathe Big Bang Theory too - which relies too heavily on it.

All in all, the gags, as quirky and loud as they are, don't work. But there are worse shows.

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.
