    It's not THAT great

    Every comment on this show thus far has given it rave reviews, but I really didn't find it all that great. Of course it's better than some 2002-2003 FOX shows, like 'The Pitts' for one, but when it comes to FOX comedians, 'The Bernie Mac Show' is alot better.

    Wanda Sykes (Hawkins) is a funny comedian, I've seen a show of hers on Comedy Central, but the character, and enough of her, comes off way too annoying. And my biggest griefs are that, though it's only been 3-4 episodes, character development still seems stifled.

    Phil Morris does his best with his easily cliched character, unfortunately, no matter how much fire he sends Skye's character's way, you know the 2 will have a dating relationship. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER SHOW. You knew Eric & Donna were gonna hook up on That 70's Show. J.D. & Elliot on Scrubs. Ross & Rachel on Friends. So on and so on.

    Overall the shows is alright, maybe 5-6/10, but it doesn't have '5 year' material. Fans of Morris won't have to worry about this performance overshadowing his Jackie Chiles character on Seinfeld.

    I plan to tune in next week

    I didn't know who Wanda Sykes even was until I saw the commercials for Wanda at Large. And I was put off by her put-down comments. Somehow, I saw the second episode and enjoyed it very much. Her edgy comments make more sense in the context of the story line. The supporting cast is pretty funny and the Washington, DC location is a nice change. Also, you get the impression Wanda would be a good friend and one with no illusions about people. You can't see her becoming bitter. I thought the segment about reparations to African-Americans was pretty inventive. Usually, male comedians touch on such issues. So, hats off to Wanda Sykes.

    Hilarious!

    Just watched the pilot episode of Wanda at Large. I have never in my life laughed SO hard at a pilot episode of a sit-com! If the writing stays this fresh this show will be wildly successful!!

    A Great TV Start for Wanda

    I first saw Wanda on "Comedy Central Presents...", then in a great performance in the movie Down To Earth. I thought she was absolutely the funniest comedian I had ever heard. She has quick wit and offers great views on life, race, and age. Though she is on Inside the NFL and Crank Yankers on Comedy Central, this is her first starring role, and it's a great role. For anyone who is board of the same old shows, turn to Fox and watch Wanda!

    Love It!

    I have adored Wanda since I saw her stand-up special on comedy central. She is one of the most talented commedians I have seen in a long time. Since I follow her I was in heaven when she got her show, which is wonderful. My family and I have already made it part of our routine and cannot wait for it to come back next year. It's good to see a decent sitcom come from the "reality tv network".
