One Big Happy

I really enjoyed this show, and no, I'm not being paid to say that. I love the characters, the dialogue has plenty of snap, crackle, and pop, and the producers of Smallville, among other shows, owe Kelly Brock an apology for writing such a blah character for her that American audiences didn't get to see what a charismatic presence she can be. I enjoyed the stories and storylines not just because they were interesting in and of themselves, not just because it was nice to see lesbian characters in stories that neither ignored their identity nor treated it as something inherently different from all the other situations that are mined for comedy, but because they're not the same old sitcom storylines we've seen over and over and over.

Also, I want pretty much everything in Prudence's wardrobe, especially the dresses, especially the dress in the pilot with the pink print. Prudence included would be nice.

What exactly is the point of creating such a comedy is beyond my understanding.

Ellen DeGeneres is serving as a producer and the show is about a lesbian who got pregnant from her bisexual best friend/roommate, so I guess it's about trying to get people more familiar, even more tolerable to "new forms" of family.

I didn't mention that her bff/roommate is married with...Kelly Brook (who plays a girl that he decided to marry after only one date) and they all live now together under the same roof.

I'm writing this review while watching the 2nd episode that Liz Feldman (the creator) wrote.

The script is lame as f.., the acting is terrible and the jokes are non existent. Add to all this the most annoying laughing track ever, that hits your ears every 3 to 5 seconds, and you have the recipe of a disaster.

It doesn't seem possible for this to improve in later episodes, so you better stay away and watch something else.

Elisha Cuthbert is a star, but this character is poorly conceived and poorly written. I'd love to see her in something with smarter writing. It's not too late to bring back Happy Endings, is it? The other characters don't give us much to latch on to. Nick Zano is white bread. Kelly Brook seems to be acting with her boobs. Meanwhile, I'm not a fan of laugh tracks in general, but I find this one particularly loud and annoying to the point of distraction. I'd love to see Elisha Cuthbert in something with smarter writing. Is it too late to bring back Happy Endings?

One Big Happy appears to have been hastily conceived and dashed off. After watching 2 eps, it's off my list.

I watch a lot of TV... everyone is different.. But in my honest opinion, anyone rating this a 8 out of 10 or higher, had to be paid or have something to lose. I think you could give it a 5 out of 10 for being a nice person.

For me, to started off slow. By half way through, I was looking for something else. I just couldn't find this funny and not sure how it will last. The plot is just so so... I think I semi chuckled just once. Having the background laughs for each scene is so misleading. And the one girl with the British accent? I think it's being forced into the show too much and for me, was actually annoying.

Don't waste your time on this one.

so the sitcom is okay the idea is new and fresh yet the execution was so weak and no where on point.

I don't know maybe it's the Cast or the writer Liz Feldman but i know that a 100% i didn't even giggle for once ..

I really love Ellen DeGeneres but i believe she jumped into producing this show just out of pity on her friend Liz and it was not a good idea.

Elisha Cuthbert and Nick Zano used too much of talking with the "dumb,,dumb" voice in the beginning... I don't know what Kelly Brook is doing !! like seriously why !! just two big b00bs with a couple of censored nudity scenes ...

Elisha Cuthbert's performance was so unconvincing as a lesbian. In happy endings she was hilarious ,, yet to be fair Nick Zano's was okay presenting the naive rational pretty face,,, but seriously thou the whole cast acted that way ,, i mean at least bring up a character who acts like knowing everything and acting smarter than everybody just to change the stupidity tone a bit.

overall i didn't really think it's a comedy worthy of watching... it might be good but so not good enough.
