Yes, Dear

Sitcoms,in my opinion,are pretty easy to mess up,and that's when producers are TRYING to make a good show. With that in mind,one might be fooled into believing a show like "Yes,Dear" would be something akin to,oh,say,"According to Jim","My Wife and Kids" or "Reba"(i.e.bland,uninspired comedies surrounding family units). But then,in my opinion,one would be mistaken. Successful Studio executive Greg Warner(the underrated Anthony Clark) and his lovely wife Kim(Jean-Louisa Kelly) decide to take in Kim's sister Christine(Liza Snyder) and her husband Jimmy(Mike O'Malley),who are strictly working class. The cultural and personality clash becomes the weekly friction that peppers the show's premise. But the writing and the casting of the show is so spot-on that only the most hostile to t.v.sitcoms would not get much enjoyment out of this show. Not a great show,but for network sitcoms,it's plenty watchable.

My husband & I LOVE this show. Every episode has made us laugh. It is the ONLY show I've watched that I know I'll laugh for 30 minutes! Every character is so good. Greg Warner is outstanding!I don't understand why critics are smashing the show. It is so much better than Everybody Loves Raymond & King of Queens. The "Boys"(JImmy & Greg) are hysterical! I haven't laughed this much in a long time!! I hope the show stays! The writing is well done. We used to be fans of Friends . I don't think Friends was as funny as YES,DEAR.Were getting all our friends hooked.Keep it up!!LOL, LOL thats what we want!The only disappointment...they changed the introduction, I liked the old one better.Great Show, Guys!

I just started watching reruns of this show, I never watched it while it was on and to be honest, i don't even remember when or what channel it was on.

I stumbled onto it about 2 years ago and i absolutely love it. Anthony Clark is hilarious as Greg Warner and i always thought his stand-up was really funny. The rest of the cast is spot-on and Jiummys friend Billy is awesome in the episodes hes in.

I personally don't understand how people didn't like it, the writing was really funny. It has risen to one of my top 5 favorite sitcoms of all time.

This show succeeds at what it attempts: mindless comedy. Perhaps if you are "educated" you consider yourself above the humour, but I enjoy watching it. I can think of worse ways to spend half an hour. The premise is unlikely but entertaining. It's certainly better than those "reality" shows that are reproducing madly! Consider me a fan.

I dismissed this show when it first went on the air in 2000, never even watched due to the fact that it looked horrible and got really bad reviews. TBS recently picked the show up in reruns and i've started watching it. It isn't always funny, sometimes its annoying, but for the most part its an OK show. Nothing outstanding or anything. Good cast though. This is for sure not a classic or anything, but very simple easy to follow, and some good jokes at times. Its not as bad as it was made out to be thats for sure. Overall i'd say if you never watched the show before, for whatever reason, give it a chance. Its not the best no, but there have been plenty worse.
