Great Show, Inept Network

If CBS could carry a terrible show like "2 Broke Girls" for 6 seasons, how is it that Fox can't keep a highly rated and funny show for more than 2 seasons. If this show is suffering from anything, it's that there's just too much stuff on TV to watch. I've been watching this show on HULU and it's frickin hilarious. Terrible call to cancel it.

Kaitlin Olson Rules

I didn't find out about this show until after Fox cancelled it. I found it while I was binging the 14th season of It's Always Sunny.... I really like Kaitlin Olson's character in It's Always Sunny... and really didn't think she got enough lines or air times.

The Mick gives me that extra view of Ms. Olson. While the character is nearly the same as she played in It's Always Sunny..., the situations are very different - enough to keep me engaged and laughing.

Great show, legitimately funny, and Kaitlin Olson has excellent comedic timing.

So Pissed at FOX!

Is there a CHANCE that we can save this show? So many other good shows like Lucifer, and Expanse have been saved by their fans, why not The Mick!? I really enjoyed this show, and the comical writing that was more high-brow than the normal FOX comedies. Someone please post a petition page, if there is one, and I'd be more than happy to sign.

Netflix/Prime needs to bring back The Mick

Loved this show, totally bummed it was cancelled. Think it would have a really good following if they brought it back.

Funny and sweet

I found this show by accident. I binged it with my children. We burned through two seasons. I'm super disappointed to see that it was cancelled! This show is smart and funny. Please bring this show back!!!!

Wild, crazy, blunt dirty nasty show!

Been watching this new "FOX" series called "The Mick" with Kaitlin Olson("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia")and I must say it's a trip of fun and real nasty dirty blunt laughs the series is just really far out comedy. The story is pretty simple Olson is Mac Murphy a free spirited and wild party at heart girl who drives a rattle trap, yet her world is turned upside down when she arrives at her rich sister's house in the northeast and finds that her and her husband are gonna flee the country to avoid criminal charges. So you guessed it Mac and her male friend have to take care of the trio of kids that sister has left behind! It then becomes funny and a struggle of life lessons of fun, tricks, and crazy nasty gags that each play on each other! "The Mick" may not be everyone's cup of tea still it's a nice different kind of comedy laughs.

Very, very funny - from a Sunny Philadelphia fan

I'm a huge It's Always Sunny fan and I regarded both The Mick and A.P. Bio with ambivalence. These aren not one-off movies that the actors could do and then forget about - they could be permanent jobs.

I gave The Mick a shot and it grabbed me instantly. It's very funny, very smart. Some see it as a flaw that the character Olson plays is almost exactly Di from Sunny, but I see that as a plus... but that's just me.

It's a real comedy, not a light-hearted drama. It's based around laughs. But there are no canned laughs.

I'm still in season 1, but I give it a 9/10 so far.

It's OK

The first season is really, really good. The second season lost it for me. There's absolutely zero character development or growth. All they did was place them in another mansion.

I see why they canceled it.

There was a lot more they could have done with the characters, but chose to keep them extremely superficial and incapable of progress.

It's disappointing that a show that started off so well had such a sudden drop. The characters are too hard driven to their character profiles. There's not enough nuance to them to feel sincere or interesting after the first season.

It almost feels like they had a drastic change of staff writers between seasons. The original ones weren't able to carry out their vision, so it just turned into sloppy continuation of burgeoning character action, without any kind of interest... it lost direction.

Did we watch the same show as everyone else?

We've been looking for a new show and thought the premise of this show was promising. We liked the whole My Name is Earl vibe and we laughed at the first episode. But a few episodes in, there are no laughs, just depravity. Ted Lasso has sweetness. My Name is Earl had sweetness. Arrested Development had sweetness (at least season one). This show just has mess. The kids should be taken away. The aunt is a horrible person. She has no redeeming qualities at all. In fact, she's getting worse with each episode. Everything is stereotypical and over the top. We finally gave up and watched something else.

Best Comedy

I frequently struggle with US networks cancellation process. This is one of the best comedies out of the US in years. Kaitlin Olsen is brilliant as are the whole cast. Great writing too.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CANCELLED THIS SHOW!!!!

This was an amazingly well written comedy. Most comedies today are awful. As a matter of fact, I do not watch sitcoms at all with the exception of this show. It was hilarious. Each character was carefully developed. It pushed the envelope and stayed fresh week after week, but alas, it was cancelled. I would recommend watching the first two seasons. Enjoy.

One of the best, albeit craziest, shows of recent years.

It did take me a while to get really into this show, but once I did I became addicted. The fact that it's been cancelled while so many derivative, badly written and acted shows continue is witness to the decline of quality programming on network television. I hope that someone steps up and saves this show, but if they don't they two excellent seasons stand as a memorial to the writers and actors who created something truly original here

Say it ain't ...so

How in the world did this show get cancelled! I adore Kaitlyn Olsen, and this show is amazing . Someone needs to pick this show up....Hulu, Netflix, or whattimeisitrightnow.com. I guess I will have to rewatch the show again.

Genuinely Funny Within A Tough Comedic Setting

Off the back of her excellent performances in Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Olsen transitions perfectly into something slightly more family friendly. Whilst still portraying a rough, 'bad' character, far more emphasis is given to the caring side in The Mick in order to show the development of the dysfunctional family. A lighter touch on darker themes, such as drugs, discrimination and violence, but keeping the same atmosphere of a selfish group hitting the pitfalls within their endeavours.

Olsen and MacArthur carry the majority of the comedic heavy lifting, although the rest of the cast do their fair share. Frequently utilising slapstick humour, smarter wit is slipped in with the sharp tongues of sarcasm. The 'kids' all have their distinct personalities, the difficulty being that whilst they are purposefully abhorrent, they don't quite get as much comeuppance as their guardians. Having wealthy, self-obsessed brats as leads makes winning an audience over challenging, but it is worth sticking in to see their embarrassments. 'Alba' and 'Ben' hit that more innocent middle ground, where they can be enjoyed, buy only as supporting characters.

At times shocking, profane and gruesome, The Mick is a genuinely good show that deserved a longer life.

FANTASTIC show !! Watch this !!

This is by far the funniest sitcom on TV. It's fresh, smart and hilarious. I fell hard for all of the characters. They are surprisingly well-rounded and beautifully played by the respective actors. The far- fetched-ness of the plot really fades into the background and the situation of the moment really cracks you up. It's not cute-sy like a lot of shows with kids tend to be. The themes are adult, but not crazy inappropriately so. The physical aspect of the humor contributes greatly to the fun.

Could've been a great show

This was such a "missed opportunity" show! I love this show because of its story, its characters, its casting and especially, Olsen. But the holes in the writing make it frustrating to watch. An example.... if the kids parents were under investigation, all assets would be frozen. There's no way their "black cards" would work. So basically....it makes me feel like the writers ignored a lot of common sense in order to make a story....and they are much better than that so that's why I'm mad. This should've been a great show! It should've been Olsens time to shine for more dramatic moments, because I think she can do both.

5 episodes in and enjoying it.

So far, so good.

Nice cast that complements each other. It's almost like having a supply teacher at school, you think you can get away with murder, until that teacher turns out to be street smart and equally as conniving. I recommend this!

Acting stupid is not funny

The humor they use, is stupid decisions in life and acting stupid in public. If they target an uneducated US low IQ audience, this might be fine. Otherwise, it's just not funny and dull stupid. This type of humor was funny as a child watching a clown in the circus, but not as an adult. I really gave it a try and watched around 10 episodes. But ot just got worse.
