Freddie

Freddie Prinze Jr was at the height of his popularity when ABC got him his own show. Sadly, its failure signaled the start of his career's decline. Apparently other than the name, nobody put any effort into this show. Naming this show Freddie was all these guys could come up with.

I don't particularly hate the show. There is nothing hateful or unlikeable about Freddie or the show. But there is nothing special or memorable either. Nobody in the cast stands out. It is not that funny. I certainly don't remember any big laughs. There was no reason to renew it after its single season.

I noticed this show when it was first released and wasn't sure whether or not to watch it, because i've never really like Freddie Prinze Jr's work. Being he is usually in romantic comedy's. The pilot episode for this series kept me laughing from beginning to finish and almost every other episode of the season followed suit. The plot may be a little unrealistic but that does not impact the fact that it is hilarious and interesting. Another review says that every episode is about the same thing girls and parties, while first of all why is that a bad thing and second its not the only series out there that is. Anyway in my opinion, you have to wonder why someone who writes a review like the one already posted even bothered to watch more then an episode if it was that horrible, i know I'm not alone in enjoying this show, so if you don't like it then don't watch it don't watch an entire season and then critique it. Anyway for those who haven't seen it it is definitely worth watching the first episode or two if you like comedy's in general and the you can decide if you want to watch more, but it is definitely a good way to pass a half hour!

As have I. I really like Freddie but I just can't get into it. His comedy is very forced and unnatural. He seems awkward. He is best in his scenes with Brian Austin Green (who is hilarious all on his own). The sister is a bad actress delivering dumb lines. The blonde lush is pretty funny but one-dimensional. They should give her and Green the show and let them lead. Freddie's grandmother is just painful. Whether you understand Spanish or not, she obviously understands English as she responds accurately to the other characters, but can't seem to speak a word. Odd. Basically, if Freddie loosened up, expands the Chris and Allison roles and dumps the rest of them for a stronger group, it might stand a chance. Freddie and Brian might want to throw on a pair of flip-flops and a tanktop now and then for some eye-candy. But as it is now ... suffice it to say that good comedy should seem effortless and "Freddie" seems anything but.

Yes, the acting at times was laughable.

Yes, the show was not the best out there.

And yes, the script too, at times, was just plain lame.

BUT.

BUT.

But it should NOT have been cancelled.

I'll never forgive ABC for cancelling this show. *bitter* There were many funny moments per episode, particularly those including Chris or Grandma...

The weakest casting choice was the role of Zoey. Chloe's acting as Zoey was terrible. However, it was her fist acting role so she may have gotten better with experience.... *shrug* ANYWAY, POINT IS, this show could have gone to do a LOT better had it not been cancelled.

I have a different opinion than the one person who has commented.

I actually love this show, I think it's hilarious. Yes the humor is a tad offbeat, a little different than you'd expect from sitcoms, which is one of the main reasons why I love it.

The premise of the show is a single, young, successful man trying to date and find love while having his family, who all happen to be women, live with him.

I love the chemistry that the actors share and I think both Freddie Prinze Jr. and Brian Green do fabulous jobs at playing their roles. I really enjoy the writing and I look forward to seeing Freddie every week. I for one, am glad for the show!
