My Big Fat Greek Life

I just finished watching the first episode, and... well I wish i could go back a half an hour and find something better to watch. The movie was funny and a good

time to watch. But this is just trying to ride of the success of the movie. If this show makes it and ends up lasting a long time, it means that the whole world is gone to hell. If you didn't get to catch this show, than don't bother, if you liked the movie your more than likely be dissapointed by the show. So instead pop in the movie and watch it instead.

I just watched the first episode of this show and it would seem that this family is cooking up something other than lamb for a change...try turkey! What worked wonderfully on the silver screen is very uncomfortable and amateurish in the context of a half hour sit-com. Emeril was probably better than this. The studio audience must not understand english because if they did they wouldn't be laughing. This TV show is to My Big Fat Greek Wedding fans what Jar Jar Binks is to fans of the original Star Wars.

The first show was not that good, as it left a lot to be desired from the original movie. However, if you stick with the series it got better, and I would say that now it is on par with the movie. My wife grew up with Greek friends, and she really enjoys the show as there is a lot of truth in their actions.

Why do they have to take a relatively funny, and successful movie and turn it into "How many one lines can we get in in one show"? They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Most of the cast are lowering the bar quite a bit by just lending themselves to this dribble.

I loved the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but the TV show was not as good as I expected. I started seeing it but did not finish it, it has 1 or 2 good laughs but the rest of the show literally stinks. First of all, the names change and you get confused. Second of all, the story does not follow the movie. And third, there are no laughs, Ian, or as he is called in the show, Thomas, is a really bad actor, no talent at all, he is also not funny. It seems as they are beging for some funny moments, but they try to hard. I gave it a 2 out of 10.
