Abby's

Less than five minutes into the pilot and I was bored. Forced jokes - it feels like very other sitcoms from the 80's. A bit unique in that it is filmed "before a live outdoor audience." So why does it feel the laughs are canned like sitcoms from the 70's?

I would like this show to succeed - we need some good comedy shows, but I'm afraid this will need major retooling.

I haven't enjoyed a sitcom in years, but watched this by chance and was intrigued. It started bumpy, but by the end seems like it will make for a good show, assuming the producers CAN whomever is forcing the CANNED laughter.

I'll give it another one or two episodes, as I want to like it, but the only genuinely laugh-out-loud funny moment occurred during the credits roll.

Has potential, with a different twist to the typical filmed at a bar sitcom, with a looming protagonist. Refreshing concept, assuming they can let the jokes flow a little better next episode, since the really tense mood should be gone, or at least significantly less looming.

BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, THE CANNED LAUGHTER MUST GO. THIS WILL KILL THE SHOW SO FAST.

A fill-in show for the mid-season, from Josh Malmuth, known for New Girl and Superstore, and not much else.

The lead, Natalie Morales, has been on a number of shows and movies, some comedy, some dramas. I remember her most from the twelve episode run she had on White Collar.

It is slightly confusing, since there is another Natalie Morales, who is best known as one of the co-anchors of the Today show, and a co-host of Access Hollywood

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of humor here. They waste the talents of Neil Flynn, who deserves a show of his own.

As someone else noticed, the laugh-track is very annoying. It has the effect of underscoring that the jokes aren't that funny.

'The Orville' is a repeat again next week, so I may give the show another try.

A generous 5, hoping they will improve.

They appear to have already shot all thirteen episodes. It will be interesting if they all make it to air in this time-slot.

A boring, predictable sitcom with a distracting laugh-track. It got a couple of short, sharp puffs of air out my nose with a few good one-liners, but that was the extent of my enjoyment.

I'll watch Neil Flynn in anything! He was great on Scrubs, but I adored him on The Middle. Natalie Morales was perfect on Santa Clarita Diet, really happy to see her get her own show. So far it's a fun, probably fluffy show. With the main character being a Vet, I'd like to see some growth there, maybe with her having a hard time getting back into society, as happens to a lot of our Vets. I really hope they give this show a chance to grow, I'll keep watching.
