Married

This TV show stands out in multiple fields. First of all, it's very well written, unpredictable, entertaining and down to earth. It beats all the popular charlie sheen's "1 + a half men" and the like, because it's not stationery and has perfected characters played by talented and interesting actors. I really hope the series will continue. What a delightful and pleasant series. I highly recommend it. You will love the characters from the first episode and I'm sure you will realize you recognize the similarity of at least one of the characters with someone you know. I need one line to make this long enough. You will not regret watching this show.

Not every comedy show is going to be liked by everybody, but Married overall is a smart comedy with great timing. Nat Faxon and Judy Greer play a married couple with three kids. They are pretty much the average family, trying to make ends meet while dealing with life issues in a comical sort of way. Faxon and Greer have great timing and they play great off each other. Some episodes are funnier than others and a little too silly, but overall, I always get at least one or more decent laughs in each episode, and I hardly ever laugh watching most comedies. The show covers all aspects of marriage, including parenting and friends. The show has a dark, twisted sort of humor, but it also conveys the right message as well. After the first episode, it grows on you. I'm very happy they made a second season. The show to me is a mix of National Lampoons(earlier years) and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Besides this show, the only other comedy worth watching these days is Silicon Valley.

The cast in this show helps elevate it above other sitcoms (but not You're the Worst).

The writing itself could be acted in many ways, changing the tone of a story entirely. The dryness the two main characters use make the show great. The cynicism is very evident, and it makes the whole show very funny. Point is, it's really good.

Just watch it. Best episode: "The Playdate" This episode just proved that the delivery REALLY helps, everything is done in a fully dry, cynical, and unemotional manner that emphasizes the ridiculousness of it all, or it is very emotional, proving that these characters are real people and can convey emotion.

FX comedies have always been very hit or miss for me. Shows like "The League", "Always Sunny in Philadelphia", and "Louie" are all quirky in their own way and make for some great television. "Married" however leans more towards the mediocre list with shows like "Saint George" and "Anger Management". Nat Faxon and Judy Greer are the likable couple that the show revolves around, along with some oddball friend characters that only seem to exist to help fill up the 30 minute program. The weekly plot lines produce a few laughs you wouldn't see on network TV since FX can get away with some risky material, but overall each episode feels kind of empty and sporadic. Even the music score makes the show feel slow and depressing. I would be surprised if their was a 2nd season since there's nothing to keep most viewers interested in this show unfortunately.

Who doesn't love Actress Judy Greer? She works consistently and seems to pop up just about everywhere with her trademark character; the one we usually love to dislike! Joined by actors Nat Faxon as her husband, Sarah Burns the quirky single mom, Brett Geiman as the nerdy rich friend and Paul Reiser who plays the aging, wise friend Married hits a bullseye on what it's like to be married with kids surrounded by friends/couples who bring loyalty and annoyance. I laugh out loud at the writing which salutes bluntness, sarcasm and reality. Season 2, Episode 7 with veteran actress Joanna Cassidy as Faxon's mother is priceless!
