Kirstie

I was so looking forward to Kirstie's new show getting better, but sadly it has not. The extremely weak and juvenile story lines, the lackluster performance by the actor playing her son, mixed with the lack of chemistry between the cast just makes for a recipe destined to flop. The actors look very uncomfortable as if they've put on a pair of shoes that don't quite fit. The episode with John Travolta was... well, I don't know because all I was able to concentrate on during the entire show was the bad jet black shoe polish toupee he had on his head. The best episode was with Kathy Griffin who added the ONLY comedic element to the show since it first aired. Maybe the show should be called "Kathy"?!!!

Can anyone believe with a fine comedic cast of Alley,Richards and Pearlman that this show was a real bust. watching episodes I cringed at how bad the writing was for this show. Did they get some interns from the film academy to write the sitcom. And how bad was the male playing Kirstie's son, just because you are overweight does not make you a funny person. Maybe some actors should look at themselves and see that while they were young,quirky and pretty in previous shows (cheers )age has a terrible way of sneaking up on people who should see that they are no longer young slim and pretty. TV has a way of showing actors they should get out of the business after their use by date. Michael Richards seems to have gotten into a rut and plays Kramer in anything he does.One dimensional acting will not suffice in this day and age.

I'm so tired of these new TVLand sitcoms. This is not why I come to TVLand. I come for comfort. Most of these TVLand sitcom's feel contrived. Give me I Love Lucy's, Roseanne's and Cosby's. There are plenty of other new sitcom's out there As you can tell, I'm not a fan of these new TVLand sitcoms but I have to say Kirstie was pretty good or at least good enough not to make me change the channel. Kirstie stars as a Broadway actress who is reluctantly reunited with her son that she gave up for adoption. Kirstie doesn't have a mothering instinct in her body and it will be interesting to see how this show develops. Rhea Pearlman and Michael Richardson co-star but the #1 draw to tune in is Kistie Alley.

There was a sitcom on tonight that was filled with aging comics who haven't done anything funny for 20 years on a network that ran out of steam at least 15 years ago. Now that sitcom I can barely stomach the commercial. Kirsties new show you ask? No Im referring to 'the Crazies' (my god, who put him back on TV?). Kirsties new show may not stray to far from a certain formula, but its a good formula and the pull it off. This is TVLand, Im not expecting Shakespeare. If its entertainment for a half an hour, they've done there job (pretty good I think too). And something has to be said to the nay sayers, you look as Kirstie when your 60.....

Another unfunny dud. Its like they purposely make awful sitcoms.

You kind of feel bad for Kramer. Post Seinfeld was lackluster. Its a trend for all actors who come from a top notch show like Steve Urkle and the saved by the bell roster.

Last Words: Nothing to see here.
