Ground Floor

Love it.... Really really love it.Wish it would last for more seasons. Enjoyed each and every episode and each and every character. Am giving it 9.5 🌟 Stars with a 0.5 less for cutting short such an amazing story line in just 2 seasons

I saw the trailer on TV and decided to watch the show because of Briga Heelan.

The show has a good cast and a simple enough premise of an office comedy. Characters aren't really over the top, although a few have really strong personalities. My biggest surprise was seeing John C. McGinley, who plays Dr Cox in Scrubs and I loved his character in that show and he plays something similar here.

I had a good laugh watching this show, and felt entertained through its entirety. I have no idea why people are rating it 1/10, at least be honest with yourself and give this a 6-7/10 which it deserves when compared to some of the other supposed top comedy shows that are out at the moment, like How I met your mother which has gone completely downhill.

The three main leads have good chemistry together and I feel like as the show builds upon itself and we get to know the characters more, it will only get funnier.

It's a show from Bill Lawrence and co-stars John C. McGinley so it's no surprise that the show is pretty damn funny. (Scrubs was amazing). Sklar Astin's Brody periodically acts a little like JD from Scrubs and John's character is much like a softer Dr. Cox. Which is never a bad thing. There aren't a whole lot of sitcoms or shows in general that can be this good this early on. The chemistry between the stars is pitch perfect(ha), the writing is sharp as a whip, and its just so much fun to watch. HATE the laugh track but its not as synthetic sounding as with most other programs. I've only seen a couple episodes but I have high hopes for Ground Floor. This. Is. The. One. To. Watch. Very funny.

This show has potential, and I enjoyed all of the cast members with the exception of the main character. Skylar Astin is just another milktoast ho hum amateurish actor with little charisma and even less acting ability. Cant we have a main character that people want to root for? I want to preface this next statement by stating I am Jewish. Having said this, does every new show have to have a main character that is 5'6" and Jewish? It gets really old and this Lipstein guy has to be related to someone, he cant be the best option they could find.

I also think the first 2 episodes were good, but much too formulaic. The jokes often seemed much too set up and contrived and not spontaneous enough. I would like to think if they worked on this a little more I would tune back in, but honestly, the main actor isn't going anywhere, and because of it I expect this sitcom to last no more than a season or two.

There are many shows that I like for very different reasons. For example, the reasons I like The Big Bang Theory are dissimilar to the reasons I like Parks and Rec, or Modern Family, or even The Neighbors. I found this to be true for Ground Floor as well.

I've read all the reviews on IMDb, and if you read a review where someone rates this show a 1/10, then you know that person is just being rude and cynical for their own perverted pleasure and nothing more. They think it's cool or hip to undermine a show. It's not, however it is sad.

My reasoning for giving this show a 8/10 is very simple, I enjoyed the story. Is Ground Floor some new paradigm shifting show that'll transform the world of situational comedies in the 21st century? No, but then again, its not trying to be.

Many of the shows out there today are just copies of copies. This can be said for about 85 percent of the new sitcoms that aired this Fall on network TV. But even the very worse show on TV doesn't deserve a 1/10. This snarky new fad of putting every thing down is pathetic.

The fact is, I enjoyed the show. I laughed at the jokes, enjoyed the characters, reveled at the chemistry of the love interests and felt a sense of nostalgia for a few cast members. What more can I ask for from a show? People, we have a Big Bang Theory and a Modern Family, and now, we have a Ground Floor, a little show with a big heart. And I predict it'll only get better as it matures.

So Give this show a chance and see if its for you because chances are, you're looking for a little heart with your laughs.
