Carol's Second Act

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.

I hope this gets better. 1 episode in and it's a dumpster fire. So much talent going to waste ... I'm sad :(

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 Heaton is sooo likeable but that is the only reason to watch this - it is unfortunately cliched and corny. There is the occasional nice line but largely you will have seen this done before and done far better.

It is one-dimensional fare - there is no depth to it, no real craft and the laughter track will eventually irritate you into looking elsewhere for some entertainment...

A pity but this is not v good.

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.
