Carol's Second Act

Maybe I am the only person who can relate to this show. I will enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Seeing Kyle McLaughlin was a thrill (I named my son after him).

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.

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.

I am not sure what people expect from a sitcom? It's amusing and light hearted, something enjoyable to watch and have a innocent laugh at. This is no different to other sitcoms that have lasted 4 or more seasons. What the one with one of her co-stars - "baby daddy" - it lasted 6 seasons! What about "Mom", "Bless this mess", "The neighborhood" etc, etc... I like them for what they are - i am not unintelligent - I like dramas, documentaries, romance, crime etc - I watch it all. But sometimes it's nice to sit and watch 20 minutes of harmless fun!! I don't expect hard hitting journalism when i pick up a gossip rag - realize what you are tuning in to and stop criticizing it like it's supposed to help you cure cancer!!! For those that want more intelligent writing for Patricia's character - did you watch Raymond? The Middle? I really think sitcoms are not for you. All sitcoms are stupid and unrealistic - an escape from the everyday world - so lighten up and just appreciate it's light hearted fun. It is a pity - i like the fact that they introduced Kelsey Grammar into the show.

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.
