Carol's Second Act

I will give it a few more episodes to try and keep me. Thank goodness they have a self proclaimed "queer" as an intern just like every other series on TV. Truly ground breaking stuff. They do more yapping than doctoring. This is terrible. Sorry, Patti.

First, get rid of the laugh track. Second, make the characters people, not archetypes. Third, let a character besides Heaton have some wisdom. Fourth, get rid of the laugh track.

"Scrubs" did the medical interns-over-their-heads story better. Unfortunately, I don't see a lot of potential for this show to rise above its mediocre opening without a major overhaul.

I hope this gets better. 1 episode in and it's a dumpster fire. So much talent going to waste ... I'm sad :(

Patricia Heaton is sooo likeable but that is the only reason to watch this - it is unfortunately cliched and corny. There is the occasional nice line but largely you will have seen this done before and done far better.

It is one-dimensional fare - there is no depth to it, no real craft and the laughter track will eventually irritate you into looking elsewhere for some entertainment...

A pity but this is not v good.

This series just isn't that good despite the incredibly gifted Patty Heaton. Two hits out of three aren't bad though. Maybe they can corral the writing and production teams for 'The Middle', one of the best and most unappreciated comedies in recent television history, to come up with an appropriate sitcom (no laugh track please) deserving of Patty's amazing flair for comedy.
