An all new comedy about
three divorced men sharing an apartment across the hall from their
female divorce attorney, who is also their landlord. The "never been
married" Holly (Johnston) introduces her newest single client Stuart
(Basche) to his new roommates Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast- ladies'
man Phil (Faison) and the sardonic homebody, Haskell (Knight). Things
get off to a shaky start for Phil and Haskell when they begin to have
reservations about living with clingy Stuart, but Holly is right across
the hall to help them steer clear of any catastrophes. After all, it
helps her to avoid her own relationship and commitment issues! To top it
all off, Holly's hard-partying assistant Eden (Stables), doesn't let
her professionalism get in the way of prying into her boss's personal
life. Through the episodes, the guys begin to realize that the issues
they have with each other are the same ones that they had with their
ex-wives.I'd give it a ten, but it's still finding it's legs. But it has the
possibility of becoming a great show. The writing is superb and the
acting is getting better in every episode. The cast is fun, especially
the women. I'm rooting for it to succeed, I hope the network gives them
enough of a chance. Kristen Johnston was great in 3rd Rock, and she's
great in this. I was hoping Donald Faison would reappear in something
fun, and he has. Kelly stables, as 6" Holly's 4"10' assistant is great.
The other two guy characters are so far, just kind of annoying. No
fault of the actors, I just think maybe that boring men are difficult
characters to play without making them annoying. Overall I like the
show and find myself laughing out loud. If I had one suggestion, it
would be that they could use another character or two.
One of the best sitcoms out there. It's actual scripted television with
multiple cameras and talented actors, filmed in front of a live studio
audience. Kristen Johnston leads a brilliant and hysterical ensemble
cast. The adorable Kelly Stables (2 1/2 Men) is the 4' 11" assistant
Eden, to Kristen's 6 ft Holly. The sight gags here alone are almost
worth the price of admission. Kristen plays a divorce attorney who
opens her second apartment to 3 ex-clients and proceeds to mother hen
them, while having love life difficulties of her own. She's reunited
with Wayne Knight, her 3rd Rock from the Sun love interest (best known
as Newman from Seinfeld). Donald Faison (Scrubs) as the resident
'player' and David Bascher as the third of the three EXES. Their
chemistry gets better with every episode and the writing is top notch.
One of the few shows I watch the same night it airs.With so many reality shows shoved in our face, and the few comedy shows
out there that are so lame, and not worth the time watching, it's
refreshing to finally watch a comedy show that delivers hilarity. I
actually can't believe how funny "The Exes" is. Note: the first episode
is not so good as it's just introducing the watcher to the premise, but
once you get past it, it's non-stop laughter. Kudos to the writers. As
for the actors, each one chosen well for each part. I thought the first
season was great and couldn't do any better. Totally wrong. Second
season rocked even more. There were times I had to pause the show as I
couldn't stop laughing. Love the show and can't wait for the third
season.

Online The Listener Season 4 Episode 5 Buckle Up Review
Toby Logan is a 24-year-old paramedic living with a secret: he can read
people's minds. This telepathic procedural takes viewers into the heart
of a tortured hero who struggles to solve crimes with his unique gift.
Week-to-week, The Listener balances high-stakes drama with irreverent humor and sends Toby on an intellectual and emotional adventure.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast
Episode 1. Pretty good start. I immediately liked the hero (Craig Olejnik is perfect casting) and I was entertained not only by the story, but by the way the story was told.
Episode 2. I like it. The don't overuse the gimmick and - when they do use it - the use in in an intelligent way. The cast are great. The cop is written as being very smart and the hero is written as often being wrong. So, it's interesting to watch them working.
Episode 3. Craig Olejnik is a great leading man. He sells the idea of hearing people's thoughts and he's very likable and sympathetic. He's got that whole wounded dove thing going on, yet he's Alpha Male enough to carry to mild action sequences. Ennis Esmer is a great sidekick. Very likable and funny. He should get more screen time. Lisa Marcos is crazy hot.
Episode 4. It's not a bad show and the elements that I like... I really like. So I'm gonna stick with it. It's light entertainment. A fun, summer show.
Episode 5. The best case-of-the-week for Toby so far. The twist at the midpoint really surprised me, and made the episode more interesting. Toby's powers are, when you think about it, pretty useless to him. They never tell him anything useful. The show's real strength are the scenes between Toby and his best friend. Great writing and acting/chemistry make for some hilarious and believable scenes of a friendship.
Episode 6. I like the angle of the hero who cares about people he meets and wants to butt into their lives and help/save them. It's the whole Pretender/Early Edition thing, I suppose. Toby keeps running around getting involved in stuff that has nothing to do with him. He's a goodie-goodie. Like Tru on Tru Calling he knows stuff that he shouldn't and he uses that knowledge to try and save lives and stuff. I dig that stuff. It makes him a very old fashioned TV hero.
Episode 7. Michelle Adams gives a terrific performance as the girl with the powers. She brings a great sense of being 'above' everything to the role. Just like Craig Olejnik, really, who makes a fantastic lead.
Episode 8. Flawless. The first episode to nail the show's formula to perfection, and the first superb episode.
What did they get right? Toby's powers were useful and without them there would have been no story. Each use of the power (a) advanced the story, (b) was funny, (c) led to a character moment, (d) was genuinely cool/interesting.
They created a strong/excellent b-story for the underused Mylene Robic. Charlie was well-written and dynamic and heroic. Lisa Marcos was sexier than ever (my god, but she is crazy hot and I'm borderline obsessed) and she showed considerable acting chops, too.
Episode 9. For the second week in a row, the show excels in giving all four regulars an abundance of good scenes and Olivia gets a really good subplot for the second week in a row.
Even better, the show seems to have gotten a complete handle on Toby's powers and has figured out a way to show/use them that is interesting, cool and logical.
Episode 10. Mid-way through the season, The Listener completely hit it's stride and started to deliver superb episodes. This is yet another superb episode.
1. Toby's powers. The show has totally figured out how to use Toby's powers in a way that is totally cool, and totally serves the stories and makes them far more interesting.
2. Oz. Without making it a stated aim of the script, the show has found a way to show us how Toby's friends 'use' him and his power.
3. The story. It's a cracker of a tale from start to finish.
4. The twist. I love stories with a twist, and I love shows that opt to end their episodes on a downbeat note.
5. Mylene Robic/Olivia. She didn't have as much screen time in this episode, as in the previous two, but I really love her and Toby as a couple.
Episode 11. Another strong case-of-the-week, with lots of cool touches involving Toby's powers and the regular characters. The show has nailed it. They know how to tell stories and use Toby's powers in an intelligent way. All uses of Toby's powers are cool, now. And they either advance the plot in some tangible way or they provide nice moments of insight into the characters in the stories. Class.

Focuses on a tough, sexy
Long Island divorcee (Callie Thorne) who gets a job as therapist for a
professional football team in order to make ends meet. Underestimated at
every turn, she succeeds beyond all expectations and soon finds herself
a sought-after therapist to high-profile
clients. Athletes, musicians, politicians and others living in the
spotlight - all in a moment of crisis - clamor for her unique brand of
tough love therapy. Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game
online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast As a newly
single mom raising two teenagers, her
start-up practice wreaks havoc on her life. But recognizing that she's
changing people's lives for the better, she is determined to make her
new career work by striking a balance between her personal and
professional worlds.It seems that Dani is thriving in her new job. In the previous two
episodes of this new season, Dani was fired by the new coach but
eventually found a new job run Connor and she quit her private practice.
This also put her close to Nico once again, and those two still have
sexual tension between them.Over the years it's been a pleasure to see
on many cable series and the
FX's "Rescue Me" the work of Callie Thorne, I've saw her in many sexy
scenes. Yet her work and clever look always produce blunt and brash
outspoken performances she's a fine actress. So I was so glad when the
USA Network decided to give her a series of her own, and "Necessary
Roughness" fits her perfect, as Callie shows she has some range as an
actress.
Set in Long Island, New York Thorne is Dr. Dani Santino who as an upscale and elegant attractive psychotherapist mother of two finds herself in the dumps when she discovers her husband has cheated on her. Yet for every negative a positive will come, it seemed like a dream for Dani when she gets the call for pro football's New York Hawks(a fictional one)to be a therapist and shrink for the team. And her most famous client is troubled star wide receiver Terrence King(Mehcad Brooks)and this cat gives Dani plenty of headaches and mental pain as talent is no break from being a head case! Aside from that dealing with the growing pains of her teenage kids is enough as she has to monitor many of their moves.
Still the doc has a little side pleasure in the form of some one night stands with team trainer the hunky Matthew(Marc Blucas). As anyone would agree and see why that Matthew has a thing for Dani she's one hot sexy doc! And her professional work is well respected as it leads her to counsel and analyze many other type of clients from entertainers, celebrities, and other sports and media figures and even politicians as everyone needs a shrink! Overall this is one good series that proves with a little advice and direction fear and many other problems can be faced and overcome in a permanent manner. And Callie Thorne is a delight she's a tough as nails and very sexy cougar who cares about people problems in this series. So do yourself a favor and take the field and get ready for the game of life that's just "Necessary Roughness"

Online Royal Pains Season 5 Episode 3 Lawson Translation Review
Royal Pains centers on a
young E.R. doctor who, after being wrongly blamed for a patient's death,
moves to the Hamptons and becomes the reluctant "doctor for hire" to
the rich and famous. When the attractive administrator of the local
hospital asks him to treat the town's
less fortunate, he finds himself walking the line between doing well for
himself and doing good for others.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv
at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast
In an attempt to cheer him up, his brother takes him to the Hamptons for a party weekend. Accidental patients pop up despite his resistance to become involved as a 'private physician to the rich', and finally he gives in and agrees to stay in the area. He winds up agreeing partly because his other job opportunities appear to be blocked off for the time being, and because a local hospital administrator convinces him that he can help take some of the pressure from the local hospital staff, who are often beset by minor problems from rich and demanding people.
The show was amusing, sexy, and seemingly well informed. I don't know what the market really is for private physicians, but whether or not it exists, this show sold the possible concept acceptably.
So far, only a couple of episodes have seemed a bit flat. Most are lively and deal with medical issues that aren't so far fetched as those on House, for example. The show where the brothers agreed to accompany a rich family to a private island was a hoot, and my favorite to date.
Of course, the success of the show in the long term will depend on their ability to come up with a couple of medical problems per show that aren't repetitive or trite, or making the Doc look like too much of an unbelievable miracle worker at a house call. This will be a more challenging writing puzzle than a hospital based medical show, or the standard murder mystery fair that USA has also been quite successful with.
Follow up note: The writers seem to have reached the balance I mentioned a year ago. The season opening episode this year about the problems with the infomercial businessman was amusing, interesting, and dramatic, and the medical mystery involving him was also interesting and made sense at the end. My wife and I both continue to enjoy this show, and it is one of the few that the DVR is set to record all new episodes in the series. I LOVE this show!! I was looking forward to this as a summer series when my other favorite shows ended for the season. I love doctor/lawyer/medical/murder/investigation/puzzle type shows, and this show totally hooked me by the first commercial break in the pilot! This is the first original show on USA that I've seen, because my life is so busy that I just don't watch that much TV, but I have made room in my schedule for Hank. I love the fact that Hank isn't just treating the ultra-rich, but also people who need him and can't possibly pay. I also love the fact that the series started with interesting and complicated characters and I am really looking forward to learning more about Jill, Divya and Boris. Some of the personality types that Hank has come across are not just limited to the ultra rich, I've seen people who are obsessed with WebMD and pro-biotic yogurt as well as people who try to stay out of the limelight but at the same time know everything that's going on with everybody. I can't wait to see what happens next! ROCK ON USA!!

Online The Only Way Is Essex Season 9 Episode 8 Series 9 Episode 8 Review
The Only Way Is Essex is a reality series which follows some people
living in Essex, including a club promoter, a would-be model, a member
of a girl band and two bar workers. Each episode features action filmed
just a few days previously.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home
Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast i live
in Essex i thought i might give it a go, although i had
my doubts before i had even seen it, and i wasn't wrong, i'm not sure
where you got these people from but what an embarrassment to Essex,
yeah, the types that are portrayed can be seen hanging around the likes
of Sugar Hut etc but day to day Essex people are nowhere near as
shallow as they are portrayed in this rubbish programme. The acting is
completely wooden and false, do they have a script? it looks like they
don't, the language is more "Thames Estuary" than Essex, and it makes
out the girls to look like tarts. Where abouts in Essex are these
people from? There are a lot of shots from the Brentwood area, but i
don't know anyone from Brentwood that behave like them, does Pixie Lott
sound like that? i think not, so disgusted were the Essex folk that the
programme made the Essex Chronicle with an unfavourable report, so
please just give it up.i for one will not be wasting any more of my
time watching such complete drivel, even 1/10 is far too generous
The UK
has collected in on the money train of a half reality/half fiction
show, such as The Hills or The City. I have never been a fan of these
shows but when they said it was based around the the lives of the Essex
young I thought, yeah this could really work. Everyone I have ever met
from Essex has always been fun, full of energy, classy with an
extraordinary personality. In my mind the concept could not go wrong
and initially I thought this type of show will spawn the next
generation of young stars in the UK that girls will want to dress like
and boys will fantasise over. Boy was I wrong......
I understand that there is a certain amount of "making things up to create good tele" but at least with the Hills its sometimes believable. These girls and guys make Essex people look really dumb and shallow and I would be ashamed of myself if I was a native to the county. Yes of course there are elements in the characters that are true to real people but they are not defined by these ridiculous statements and poor decisions that these characters seem to live by?
As with any bad show, one can sometimes find the "tongue in cheek" value that is sometimes contrived, but I genuinely believe the producers are trying to buy into the fact that these things happen on a day to day basis and they want us to follow their lives with real interest. If you have not seen an episode yet, do so with an open mind but I am sure if you have an once of decency and respect in your bodies you will come to similar conclusions as I have.
This is not the sort of show I will be chatting about down the pub and that's what TV should be about. Please remove this terrible show from a valuable Sunday night slot and replace it with a show that doesn't make me angry about the world. MTV reality shows like "Jersey Shore" and "The Hills", "The Only Way is Essex" follows the supposed lives of a group of nouveau-riche twenty-somethings in Essex, adhering to the common stereotypes of the respective county - big yet tasteless houses, huge nightclubs and wild parties, tarty blondes coated in fake tan (with a token gay friend at their side), manly men who enjoy doing manly things, and of course, a no-nonsense grandmother who's fiercer than an RAF division. In a departure from a good number of British reality shows, the scenes are almost all evidently staged and cut, with a perfect level of soap-opera histrionics and bad acting thrown in for good measure. As such, the show comes across as a parade of cardboard cutouts devoid of any personality against a set of sterile backdrops.

Online Melissa & Joey Season 3 Episode 6 The Truth Hurts Review
When her sister ends up in prison and her brother-in-law flees after a
scandal hits, Mel must take responsibility for her teenaged niece,
Lennox, and pre-adolescent nephew, Ryder. With Mel spread too thin to
manage by herself, help comes in the unlikely form of

family’s “manny”.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online

ABC Family called Melissa & Joey starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence, I would have told you that your local village was missing it's idiot. I was not a fan of her Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and I wasn't a fan of his Blossum. Whoa! The premise is just corny enough to work. Mel Burke (Hart) is a local politician from a political family. When a family scandal leaves her niece, Lennox (Spreitler), and nephew, Ryder (Robinson), without their parents, Mel takes them in. Meanwhile, Joe Longo (Lawrence) is a former commodities trader left bankrupt after a Ponzi scheme who is searching for a job. So when Mel finds it hard to handle an instant family and her own life, she hires Joe to become the family's new male nanny, or "manny". Hollywood and TV producers have been playing this gender-bending card ever since Mr. Mom. It was funny then, it's still funny today.
The two leads have some great chemistry while on screen and I believe the little "will-they-or-won't-they" relationship they've got going on. So far, the writers have done a good job by not getting them together and Melissa Hart has stated in some interviews that they won't be getting together for a long, long time. So it appears that they will get together eventually. Right now, there are undertones of a budding romance (jealousy, looks, long pauses), but for now, they're both fun and fancy-free with their own suitors.
One of the show's main problems is the kids. Aren't they a little too old to be having a nanny? Plenty of kids even younger than them come home to an empty house while their parents are working. It's not like Joe needs to bathe and clothe them. Having the kids this old this early in a sitcom is not good news. They are going to age fast, then what becomes of Joe? You don't want to lose your sitcom's dynamic after only one season.
For now, though, the jokes are funny enough to get me to watch it. I like having Mel & Joe treat each other as "sparring partners" rather than lovers. Once they get together, it just may be the end of the show. More reviews at www.soveryterry.com Final Grade: B- I actually look forward to watching ABC Family because of this show,Its nice to see a couple on TV with as much chemistry as Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. Taylor Spreitler and Nick Robinson add fresh faces and believable characters to an already awesome cast. Love watching the characters develop and come into their own. They actually tackle everyday family issues but without having to revert to terribly fake conversations you often saw characters have in 90's sitcoms. I grew up learning more from Mr. Feeny than I did from most of my teachers until I got to College, this show gives me hope the world will be filled with more Aunt Mel's than Kim Kardashians.

Meanwhile, Joe Longo (Lawrence) is a former commodities trader left bankrupt after a Ponzi scheme who is searching for a job. So when Mel finds it hard to handle an instant family and her own life, she hires Joe to become the family's new male nanny, or "manny". Hollywood and TV producers have been playing this gender-bending card ever since Mr. Mom. It was funny then, it's still funny today.
The two leads have some great chemistry while on screen and I believe the little "will-they-or-won't-they" relationship they've got going on. So far, the writers have done a good job by not getting them together and Melissa Hart has stated in some interviews that they won't be getting together for a long, long time. So it appears that they will get together eventually. Right now, there are undertones of a budding romance (jealousy, looks, long pauses), but for now, they're both fun and fancy-free with their own suitors.
One of the show's main problems is the kids. Aren't they a little too old to be having a nanny? Plenty of kids even younger than them come home to an empty house while their parents are working. It's not like Joe needs to bathe and clothe them. Having the kids this old this early in a sitcom is not good news. They are going to age fast, then what becomes of Joe? You don't want to lose your sitcom's dynamic after only one season.
For now, though, the jokes are funny enough to get me to watch it. I like having Mel & Joe treat each other as "sparring partners" rather than lovers. Once they get together, it just may be the end of the show. More reviews at www.soveryterry.com Final Grade: B- I actually look forward to watching ABC Family because of this show,Its nice to see a couple on TV with as much chemistry as Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. Taylor Spreitler and Nick Robinson add fresh faces and believable characters to an already awesome cast. Love watching the characters develop and come into their own. They actually tackle everyday family issues but without having to revert to terribly fake conversations you often saw characters have in 90's sitcoms. I grew up learning more from Mr. Feeny than I did from most of my teachers until I got to College, this show gives me hope the world will be filled with more Aunt Mel's than Kim Kardashians.

the way.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast
Futurama is the whipping boy of modern prime time cartoons. Since it was made by the creator of the Simpsons it was expected to be exactly like it. Futurama had its own brand of comedic flair, which is absolutely hilarious. Bender, Fry, Leela, Hermes, Zoidberg, all of these characters are well thought out and work incredibly well together, on top of the fact that situations and anecdotes from previous episodes are brought up all the time, adding continuity to an already excellent series. I'll admit that I too was among the people crying foul when Futurama first came out, I didn't grow to truly appreciate it until it was put in syndication on adult swim, and more so later as I bought all the episodes on DVD. I don't think the world was ready for what futurama had to offer when it first came out, and everyone should give it another shot through adult swim or by DVD rental. It has solid entertainment value, and a unique comedic style.I loved Futurama when it was TV and I always find myself watching it on my DVD player ( I have all 4 series ). I think the thing that carries it above other cartoons ( and it's not like I don't like the Simpsons or Family Guy ) is the wonderful mix of characters. Dimwitted Phillip J. Fry, who has trouble constructing a coherent sentence and whenever he attempts to say something profound it invariably ends up flying back in his face. Turanga Leela, a outcast amongst outcasts, who when not brushing off Fry is captaining the ship between planets while wondering about her own origins. Bender, a wisecracking, gambling chain-smoking robot that is on the crew of the ship for no apparent reason apart from bumming around. Dr Zoidberg, a penniless joke of a medical practionioner that has no friends and seems to ignite hostility for just being him. Hermes Conrad, a Rastafarian bureaucrat who when not limboing for his nation is filing and shredding with an obsessive fever. Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, whose wonderous inventions are perhaps only eclipsed by his seemingly growing amorality towards almost all living things. Amy Wong, the daughter of the rich Wong family and as such finds herself slightly naive about things that are deeper than hair gel and nail polish. Add to this the military hijinks of Zapp Brannigan and his long-suffering lieutenant Kif Croker as well as thespian robot Calculon, Warlord alien Lur and President Nixon as well as others and I think you have a group of characters that all have their own quirks and flaws to add to a very funny show.If your not familiar the story goes like this: Philip Fry is a pizza delivery boy (or should I say "pizza delivery Man"...he's in his 20's although at times acts more like a teen than a grown-up) who is sort of a Born Loser type. He's working on New Years Eve (he runs into his girlfriend Michelle going to a New Years Eve party with another guy and "begins to suspect she's cheating") and ends up making a delivery to a cryogenic freezing lab. He accidentally freezes himself and when he's found and thawed out its New Years Eve 3000. In a way this sucks because everyone he knows is long dead. But in a way its good because its a second chance for him to start life new and maybe be not such a loser this time around. Apparently after they thaw you out and probe you they insert a chip in your hand that helps place you in your field of expertise for a job. His chip is "Delivery Boy" and he doesn't want it so he is trying to avoid the sexy one-eyed alien woman Leela whose job it is to make sure he gets his chip put in. When he's notified he has a great-great-great-great (keep going) nephew named Professor Farnsworth he goes to seek him out. He goes to what he thinks is a pay phone booth and its actually a suicide machine...thats where he meets Bender a wise-ass,drinking,smoking robot who wants to kill himself because his main purpose is to aid in the making of suicide machines. The two of them try to escape Leela and when she finally catches up to them she admits she doesn't like her job either so now the three of them seek out Professor Farnsworth to see if they can work for him.

(Melissa Peterman),
his brother Danny (Derek Theler), his best buddy Tucker (Tahj Mowry)
and his close female friend, Riley (Chelsea Kane), who is harboring a
secret crush on him.TV, I really enjoyed this
show. I saw a couple of billboards about it but didn't make it a point
to watch but I just watched it On Demand about fifteen minutes ago and
found it very entertaining. While it wasn't hysterically funny it had
parts that I giggled and I'm certain that as the season progresses, the
jokes will get funnier. I grew up when TGIF was popular. Shows like
"Family Matters", "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch", "Step By Step", "Full
House", and others shows came on. It was a great family time for my
parents and my brother and I'm certain this is a great show for family.
I read a review saying that this show wasn't "realistic" but when it comes to sitcoms like this they're not supposed to be 100% realistic, they're supposed to entertain. The point is to take be inspired by realistic events and exaggerate them for TV's sake. I, personally, am happy that shows like are returning to TV. We need these family sitcoms to invade our TV screens once again so that we can have evenings, like in the past, to watch back to back shows that have values, yet make us laugh.It's not realistic and a tad annoying in the beginning. Men, especially the young men of today, are far from that clueless. My brother (Deans list brilliant kid) was helping a friend by already babysitting at 15 years old. Maybe a poorly raised man will have no skills with children, but I cannot be made to believe that all 3 of these men have no empathic bone and would be that dumb in this day and age. The writers made them look sadly pathetic rather then funny. It is Not reality and I am confused on who would think it is, or who would try to present it as if it is. Also, many girls at that age nowadays (not all but quite a few)would run from babies like the plague. So the girl walking in all cooing, is sweet but in the face of the guys ignorance it feels 20 years outdated and very chauvinistic. In fact when I had my daughter I was the one with less experience with "babies" and it was her father that had to show me everything. I'm giving it a 4, in hopes it has better jokes, rather then "Right side of the fridge is mine." sort of nonsense. The actors were endearing and their energies seemed to work well off each other and that is the only reason I am not giving up on the show entirely. If it turns into a happy Dad/Daughter show, that would be sweet, but right now it needs a lot of work. An absolutely atrocious attempt by ABC to get a piece of the whole "young single parent sitcom" pie. Unfortunately for them, 'Raising Hope' remains the only show to get anything funny out of it.
However, I won't judge a show based on its premise. Lack of originality does not have to mean lack of quality, after all. But in order to write a good sitcom, you need some writing talent with a sense of humour and, well, writing. In 'Baby Daddy', none was involved.
There was not a single gag or line in the pilot episode that you couldn't smell coming a minute in advance. I could discern not a single original thought or punchline during the entire episode. Worst of all, the jokes that the writers copied from anywhere and everywhere were not even coherently combined into a narrative, or put in the context of the show. It was nothing but a parade of the most hackneyed, unfunny one-liners and clichés. Even the most bland comedy pilots usually manage to get at least one or two chuckles out of me—this show failed to do even that. It was especially cringe-worthy in that, while the clichés it uses are so old that not even lampshading them would be very funny anymore, the writers quite apparently decided to play them perfectly straight.
In the end, everything you need to know about the quality or originality of the show is already said by the promo images depicting its cast. Let's see: we've got Jack "Babyface" Everybody, a lead character that is so bland and uninteresting that he definitely won't bother anybody. We've got two pretty blondes that are allowed to pop by and smile. They even made it a plot point that the main guy clique of the show only even bothers with one of them because she is "hot" (when she didn't use to be, so yay for her). It's as insulting to women as it is to men. Then you've got the borderline developmentally challenged jock, as well as the token-foreigner and token-homosexual rolled into one. Oh my, whoever saw that coming!
