Carol's Second Act

I like Patricia Heaton, but the writers have her character acting too giddy, too foolish for a grown woman. The foolish behavior it too over the top for a mature woman.

Maybe I am the only person who can relate to this show. I will enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Seeing Kyle McLaughlin was a thrill (I named my son after him).

First, get rid of the laugh track. Second, make the characters people, not archetypes. Third, let a character besides Heaton have some wisdom. Fourth, get rid of the laugh track.

"Scrubs" did the medical interns-over-their-heads story better. Unfortunately, I don't see a lot of potential for this show to rise above its mediocre opening without a major overhaul.

Patricia makes the show interesting, her character but the others are annoying, every single one except for that mean lady in charge, she's interesting. Also the jokes about her being old is so redundanct, almost to the point of age discrimination. I'll still watch the show but hopes it gets better, if it wasn't for Patricia's acting the show would really suck.

I will give it a few more episodes to try and keep me. Thank goodness they have a self proclaimed "queer" as an intern just like every other series on TV. Truly ground breaking stuff. They do more yapping than doctoring. This is terrible. Sorry, Patti.
