Fam

I expected nothing from this series, and i was about to drop the first episode within the first 5 mins, because the jokes were really lame and, well, it didnt look great at all. But then some weird stuff happens and the father showing up were actually really funny, especially the father in general, who saved the first episode for me and made sure that I will continue on this one. This show turned out to be more charming than expected, and during the second half of the very first episode I laughed more than in an entire HIMYM season. I dont think, that any current sitcoms got that big of a potential than this series, so if u dont compare it to Friends or King of Queens and also be a little bit open minded, you might be able to actually enjoy it. This series really tries hard to get you into the chill atmosphere of a good family, and they got me in the end with that adorable situation, who made all main characters really sympathetic. I feel like most of the people generally dont like any sitcoms except the classics, so dont mind those one star rates.

First episode was not that good, but after that it's great! Fam may not be the funniest show on air but characters are so charming and interesting. There are some funny jokes and moments that I personally really liked. I loveeee Tone Bell and Nina Dobrev. Their chemistry is amazing. Also I'm a big fan of Gary Cole. If u want to relax and laugh after a long day this is the show for you. Promo for next week ep looks even more promising. Sorry for bad english

I'm not sure about positive reviews the I see here? Is CBS planting their own glowing reports or something? This is just another tired comedy with a little a little twist of stale lemon .Please don't take my word for it, waste your own 30 minutes. I'm outie....

It took approximately 5 seconds from the pilot episode starting and then that god awful "CANNED hah hah hah LAUGHTER" kicked in and I just knew this new comedy series would be a waste of time.

Within the first five (5) minutes of the pilot episode two lame jokes were attempted, one being referred to was a sarcastic misunderstanding of the acronymn STD's , and the other so-called joke stated "why would you want to bring some pot roast home when there is no pot?" Really??? No, I mean really??? At this point (10 minutes in to the pilot episode) I just had to look up who the (HORROR-able) writer of this series was credited and it is a lady named Corinne Kingsbury.

Funny,..... I never heard of Corinne Kingsbury before and her name may never be credited again as I am sure this new series will be quickly pulled before very long unless there are very deep pockets promoting this garbage. This FAMily is by no means memorable, nor is it funny. If I was sitting in an Emergency Hospital room waiting for my wife to be taken into surgery and this show was playing on the boob tube in the overhead TV in the hospital waiting room I would beg the nurses to please take me instead of my wife for surgery or TURN OFF that god awful non stop canned laughter eminating from Fam.

A paltry 3 out of 10 rating. ....and I actually like the actor(s) dad Gary Cole and the daughter Nina Dobrev, but please don't insult your "required" audience with this garbage.

Giving this show three stars is being charitable. On paper this show looked like it could've been watchable (big fan of Sheryy Lee Ralph), but the messaging and the canned laughter made it horrible to watch and the little sister's sniveling and sarcastic character only made it worse. I wouldn't get this show's only season dvd to use it as a coaster.
