I felt compelled to make this posting after reading a couple pretty visceral postings which seemed inexplicably hateful about this rather light and funny show. Lighten up, geez! It's a brand new 30-minute sitcom on Fox that follows a cartoon! Go watch some tired old Seinfeld reruns and give the rest of us a break.
Part of why I like the show so far is that it doesn't take itself seriously, it feels playful and not so staged or forced. These people look and sound like they're having fun, and so the funny lines flow and don't feel so much like punchlines. The writing isn't afraid to go after the less-tame quirks that come with bad dates and I'm-conspicuously-over-30-and uncomfortably-single insecurity. The characters aren't as hopelessly selfish and dysfunctional as the Seinfeld quartet, and (gratefuly) they're not running around with quizzical "I'm perfect and surrounded by morons" expressions like the cast of Friends' characters always were, which frankly annoyed the hell out of me after awhile. (I still shake my head in amazement that Jennifer Anniston has since been able to redeem herself to me as a fine actor...unlike the rest of them.)
So give this kid some air, will-ya? At least the show truly comes from Boston - the writer/creators AND those famous directors are all from New England - and uptight Boston should be ready for something more contemporary than "Cheers" to see its untidy reflection in.

What is it about the Farrelly brothers that people enjoy? No matter what they make, I just can't find any decent entertainment out of it. The jokes suck, the humor is almost non-existent, and the whole experience is tedious and painful.
And, that about sums up Fox's latest supposed sitcom.
What equates to an unfunny "Seinfeld" knock-off, this show tries to be edgy and funny and fails on both counts about 98% of the time. When you don't even find yourself smiling (much less laughing) at a sitcom, then something is wrong with the show.
To quickly sum up this mess, four single friends (on of them recently divorced) jump back into the dating circuit, with supposed hilarity ensuing. But, if things like worn out sex jokes and "kid in the helmet" jokes are the best these writers can do, then this show is in desperate need of help.
Honestly, there are much better things you can do with your Sunday night. Slamming your head against a brick wall comes to mind.
In closing, this show just sucks. There is no other way to really say it.

named Kate Frankola--that is actually my name! People I know told me about Unhitched for that reason before I even heard of the show. I know Kate is a common name, but I am wondering who came up with Frankola and why. Probably no one here knows, oh well, still cool. Anyone know how I can contact anyone in charge of naming characters on the show?
I wish I didn't have to write something worth ten lines. I'll leave ya'll with a poem, In Memoriam Mae Noblitt by AR Ammons:
This is just a place: we go around, distanced, yearly in a star's
atmosphere, turning daily into and out of direct light and
slanting through the quadrant seasons: deep space begins at our
heels, nearly rousing us loose: we look up or out so high, sight's
silk almost draws us away: this is just a place: currents worry themselves
coiled and free in airs and oceans: water picks up mineral shadow and
plasm into billions of designs, frames: trees, grains, bacteria: but
is love a reality we made here ourselves-- and grief--did we design
that--or do these, like currents, whine in and out among us merely
as we arrive and go: this is just a place: the reality we agree with,
that agrees with us, outbounding this, arrives to touch, joining with
us from far away: our home which defines us is elsewhere but not
so far away we have forgotten it: this is just a place.

Q: What do you get when you get a collection of reasonably talented individuals, a reasonably good premise and a bloody awful script...
A: Garbage... complete trash.
This isn't the fault of the actors all of whom have been good in other things...
No the blame for this atrocity falls squarely on the shoulders of the writers. Crude jokes, unimaginative characters, and absolutely no sense of what is actually funny vs. what is just stupid.
I feel most sorry for Shaun Majumdar (a fellow Canadian) who was saddled needlessly with an Indian accent and cast as the token stereotype.
The good news is that even Fox won't air this trash for long... if it weren't for the writers strike I doubt it would have ever seen the light of day.

I thought it was great! it is awesome. Rasia Jones plays exactly like Elaine. even though nothing could beat Seinfeld. it was close. there was a small nerdy guy - George and 2 taller overconfident guys - jerry and Kramer.
I thought that it was not disappointing at all! how dare you say that!
Thought it was excellent
definitely recommend it! Watch it Sunday nights! Definitely watch it. i may have a different opinion than other people. but i have watched many shows. and i think it is great. Unhitched is a good way to get a laugh!!!!!!!!!!
