Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life

Despite all the negativity. It is, and thats what it wants to be, a fun watch. I really don't know what people expect from a sitcom, but it appears to be too much. Not that the show cant fulfill any of these expectations. Guys, it is a sitcom and it has done its job pretty well within the first two episodes. And what job could that be? Entertain me. And it did well...lets hope they get the chance to show some more, i would really looking forward to more episodes. And again to all the people who voted less than six, get a brain and further more don't ruin such a promising new show right from the beginning with your unqualified and unfair reviews...

Yeah this show is just getting thrashed by the people who watch FOX too much. FOX loves to dumb down shows so EVERYONE can understand EVERY humorous situation, so I can see why 90% of the funny moments can go over your head if you can't relate or understand all the context to the funny lines which make it funny. Takes a little bit of thinking almost.

To my fellow lovers of the legendary comedies like scrubs or always sunny, you will definitely love this show.

If your definition of really funny is how i met your mother (which is one of the better hold your hand laugh track programs, ill admit) and you sit there wondering why some people in your life quote always sunny like religion when it "doesn't even make sense" then you should probably avoid this show

oh oh and enough with the malcom in the middle comparisons. breaking the fourth wall is just that, its not malcom in the middling

all in all i enjoy it, it gets more then a chuckle out of me which now a days is fairly hard to do.

the cast is entertaining and the story is pretty funny.

i don't know what they replaced with this but i can say i was never interested in it.

I'm just waiting on the next episode to be put on Hulu so i can watch it.

i am honestly excited to see where the show goes from here. I read some of the reviews before deciding to post because over all they are fairly negative, but i think this show deserves a honest shot on the line up. it is centered to a certain age group and it nails it's age group on it's head.

What's wrong with all the people who complain about writing and acting? The acting is perfect and there are no plot holes. As it's said at the beginning of the episode, the characters are going into troubles that may appear in every man life and they go from bad to worse. The result is really funny and sometimes, emotional as well. But in the end, they fix everything and warn people about overreacting in an entertaining way. They have fun and learn about life, and so do you if you watch it. Don't listen to the haters. This show has everything that a sitcom should have. It's funny, with nice characters and realistic situations in a teen life. Watch it and come back here to fix it's rating so this show will have a better chance despite all the haters :D

From the look of it, it's a show with so much promise. Unfortunately, it's badly executed. Is it trying to be Malcolm in the middle? Garrett is constantly talking to the camera as a narrative, then the scenes cut back and forth. It's mimicking Malcolm in the middle but without the sweetness and innocence. Why does every show these days have to promote drug use? Every time someone says party, there has to be a guy in the next scene with a bag of pills. Then the next cut has to be excessive drinking. Then a trashy apartment. Is that really what we call entertaining? Is that the 'best' American humor on TV? This kind of screen writing is just lazy. This isn't going to be a good start for shows in 2016. Sadly.
