Back in the Game

The pilot is strong, the writing, direction, execution are all excellent. My favorite comedy to debut this fall season and surprised it is not getting more attention. I stumbled on it and glad I did! Love that it's a family show but even has a little bit of edgy humor. Really great fun characters and dialogue.

the IMDb says I need more words to review it, but I really don't. I laughed out loud at the pilot. I never laugh out loud at television except for Parks and Recreation.

Hope this starts to get a good audience and grow.

Very well done.

Not exactly a very engrossing story that sucks you in, but its gradual and normal. I'm a fan of Maggie Lawson from psych, so its good to see her. the cast does justice to the characters and i like seeing characters that aren't stereotypical.

It'll be good to see where the story goes and if more characters show up. the humor is dry and sarcastic, a little mature but refreshing none the same.

Most other shows i follow fall under a very common background. The sports angle is nice. From what i have seen so far, i can see a nice plot developing. This show is not about the suspense and i like that compared to other new shows that have just started.

I will watch this entire season before judging if i'll stick to it, but i expect it to keep me interested.

I don't have children so I love it....It's borderline offensive but the thing is this...its not a kids show or is it :-) I am laughing so loud that my girlfriend things I am having a psychotic break...characters are very funny, acting is OK, story line is improving every week and The Cannon is just hilarious and makes Peter from Family guy look like a choir boy!

Its not the greatest show ever but I don't think it wants to be. Its 20 minutes long and I laugh 10 times on average....what more can you want, therefore I am giving the show an 8 out of 10 and this has nothing to do with the looks of the lead female character.....:-)!

Terry Gannon (Maggie Lawson) is a divorced mother who has to move back in with her grumpy former baseball player father Terry 'The Cannon' Gannon, Sr. (James Caan). She has no money and no job. When her boy is stuck on the worst baseball team, she becomes their coach.

It started slowly, but it got better as it went along. They finally got a girl on the team like the Bad News Bears. But it's a little too late being canceled after the 6th episode. The kids took a long while before they got the Bad News Bears feel. They're still missing the criminal bad boy. Maggie Lawson is passable, but she was never a wacky comedian. She was basically the straight man in Psych. James Caan needed some time to find the heart of the character. The first few episodes, he was simply a cranky old man. This show was slowly righting itself but the TV climate today can't allow a show to wallow for a season.

Of all the new shows coming out this month this one stands on top. I could tell that it has strong writing after the first few episode and that it is disciplined. Not to much trivial detail that overwhelms the viewer in the first few minutes, instead, it progresses character development and a slow sustainable pace that allows other sub-plots to emerge gradually.

Currently I don't know what other projects that the writers/creators are responsible for but I intend to check them out. The cast is great. They appear to be a nice co-operative bunch. Looking forward to a good run of episodes that can get increasingly better as do most of my favourite shows - good effort from all involved.

Congrats.

I only wish some of the other shows that started this week could watch how you guys do it.
