Freddie

Don't get me wrong i like Freddie Prinze Jr, I'm think he is kinda cute, and have a couple of nice roles in movies. But i still don't get him as a funny guy...oh wait: a latino funny rich chef guy! since when Freddy is Latino?, i didn't know that...anyway...the point is the series is not that bad, i admit i am very surprise to see Austin Green playing comedy very nicely...and the girls on the show are quite good too. But Freddie as a leading role...he is trying so hard to be like Matt Le Blanc in Joey, and he looks a little bit like him too ( well without some extra pounds..sorry Matty), you can see he is trying to much to be funny...or at least is what i see. Anyway watch the series, and good luck i know Fred is a nice guy, and he deserve success, lets see if with a full season i can change my mind...

actually I think the show is hysterical ! and so do a lot of other people I know. We all talk about it at work- I love it I think he did a great job all the other cast members are great Brian Austin Green great to see him back and so funny. Not only is it good for adults there is laughter for young adults too. I think they should pick up this show for a full season. I was sad to see it was not on this week and thought it might have been canceled but there is another show on January 25th. Freddie is great its about time. We need laughter in our living rooms again.I cant wait for the next episode. I know a lot of people have comments about this show but in my experience if they keep it, it will be a hit.

Yes, the acting at times was laughable.

Yes, the show was not the best out there.

And yes, the script too, at times, was just plain lame.

BUT.

BUT.

But it should NOT have been cancelled.

I'll never forgive ABC for cancelling this show. *bitter* There were many funny moments per episode, particularly those including Chris or Grandma...

The weakest casting choice was the role of Zoey. Chloe's acting as Zoey was terrible. However, it was her fist acting role so she may have gotten better with experience.... *shrug* ANYWAY, POINT IS, this show could have gone to do a LOT better had it not been cancelled.

I must admit, I only started watching this show because of the recognizable members of the cast (Freddie Prinze Jr, Brian Austin Green, Madchen Amick), but I find it to be one of the funniest sitcoms on TV right now. I totally disagree with the comment that it is trying to be like Joey, mostly because whenever I've tried to watch Joey, I find it pretty boring- I usually can't even sit through an episode! Freddie is fresh and funny without being typical. I especially like that the grandmother only speaks in Spanish...there's something so hilarious about comedy through subtitles. Prinze's comic timing is surprisingly wonderful, given some of his romantic comedy bombs in the past (Summer Catch anyone?) and who knew that Brian Austin Green was so funny? The characters in the show are quite entertaining especially Freddie's drunken widow sister-in-law (Amick) and rich, shallow, womanizing best friend (Green). These two are supremely funny when in scenes together. All in all, I'd say it's a great show that's completely worth watching!

As have I. I really like Freddie but I just can't get into it. His comedy is very forced and unnatural. He seems awkward. He is best in his scenes with Brian Austin Green (who is hilarious all on his own). The sister is a bad actress delivering dumb lines. The blonde lush is pretty funny but one-dimensional. They should give her and Green the show and let them lead. Freddie's grandmother is just painful. Whether you understand Spanish or not, she obviously understands English as she responds accurately to the other characters, but can't seem to speak a word. Odd. Basically, if Freddie loosened up, expands the Chris and Allison roles and dumps the rest of them for a stronger group, it might stand a chance. Freddie and Brian might want to throw on a pair of flip-flops and a tanktop now and then for some eye-candy. But as it is now ... suffice it to say that good comedy should seem effortless and "Freddie" seems anything but.
