Free Agents

Hahn is great in this along with the rest of the cast. I can't believe the neg ratings. They must be the dumbed down sheep that like Whitney and up all night, which are forced, unfunny and surprisingly horribly acted. So much so that they have a laugh track so you'll know what was supposed to be funny. Those shows were painful to watch so I was not expecting much from this one. Give it a look and you'll get hooked.

I hope they give this show a chance as it looks like it could be one of those special shows. The back up characters are set to bring out other funny story lines in the future. Hank is good in this as well, but this Hahn lady is set to breakout...i don't remember seeing her before, but think we will see a lot more of her. And these people that keep on talking about the English version...give me a brake! If you want to talk about it then go on it's page.

I think it is a refreshing new twist on the sitcoms that are usually on. It is two adults, they don't partake in excessive drinking, nor excessive illegal drugs, they have jobs to go to. They both have lost a love in their life and it shows the true "fog" they are in as they stumble thru their recovery. To me is seems honest, good natured and I think the characters do a great job. The comedy is crisp and real. I do love the Portland scenes, although I don't think they are filming up here. It's too bad it is against such other heavy hitter shows in the current time slot. If this show was on Friday night or Sunday night it would be around longer. I will watch it until they take it off...but it is better than all the reality TV that hogs all the time slots.

probably the worst show I've seen that has been green lit after horrible feedback.

i was amazed to see promos and billboards of this out.

show's premise is very weak. hank is not a bankable lead actor for this show. i like him but not in this role. he honestly reminded me of a live action moe the bartender.

i had a buzzer while watching this pilot to signify at what point would i tune away to another program...i held it down for the entire time.

i sincerely hope that the show has been re-shot with the feedback that we all gave back.

a group of 30 of us spent a good 10 minutes bashing the show after the screening.

good luck hank.

I kind of liked the premise of this show and even if it wasn't a 20 minutes 'laugh out load' episode, it was nice and had me at least laughing a couple of times. Good enough to keep me wanna come back for next week.

This series is probably not gonna be one of those series that wins any awards but will stick around for a while, keeping us entertained. But what do I know, it could very well be one of those shows that grows on you and becomes better with time. The jokes were solid, the cast were solid and the plot were solid, enough to make it on my watch list for a laugh or two on Wednesday evenings.

Check it out and have it on your regular weekly schedule at least, even though it won't be the best new show this fall, I'm looking forward to Terra Nova and Person of Interest, I will write my view on there pilots as well.

The cast is pretty good and it is funny, but it lacks the depth of the British version. Nbc took a rather dark comedy focused on two broken people trying to put there life together and turned it in to a cheer work place comedy focused more on an ensemble of wacky characters than the hardships of the two original characters. The original puts a greater emphasis on Helen dealing with the lose of her fiancé and Alex is in a lot more turmoil over his divorce. The restrictions on swearing and other crudeness may have contributed to its lack of substance but it seams to me the lack of character development is more to blame. If they had focused more on the relationship between Helen and Alex and less on the other characters it might have gone a lot further.
