Terry Gannon Jr. was an All Star softball player until life threw her a couple curve balls: a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband. After striking out on her own, Terry and her son Danny move in with her estranged father, Terry Sr. aka "The Cannon," an opinionated, beer-guzzling, ex-athlete who never quite made the cut as a single father or professional baseball player. When Terry reluctantly offers to coach Danny and a group of other athletically-challenged hopefuls, her past comes rushing back.

kriti bhargava Not exactly a very engrossing story that sucks you in, but its gradual and normal. I'm a fan of Maggie Lawson from psych, so its good to see her. the cast does justice to the characters and i like seeing characters that aren't stereotypical. It'll be good to see where the story goes and if more characters show up. the humor is dry and sarcastic, a little mature but refreshing none the same. Most other shows i follow fall under a very common background. The sports angle is nice. From what i have seen so far, i can see a nice plot developing. This show is not about the suspense and i like that compared to other new shows that have just started. I will watch this entire season before judging if i'll stick to it, but i expect it to keep me interested.
gazpacha The pilot is strong, the writing, direction, execution are all excellent. My favorite comedy to debut this fall season and surprised it is not getting more attention. I stumbled on it and glad I did! Love that it's a family show but even has a little bit of edgy humor. Really great fun characters and dialogue.the IMDb says I need more words to review it, but I really don't. I laughed out loud at the pilot. I never laugh out loud at television except for Parks and Recreation. Hope this starts to get a good audience and grow. Very well done.
pugmac I am really surprised the overall ratings for this is so low so far. I think this is the best new show out so far. I'd call it a modern day Bad News Bears. The writing is really good. Many good laughs each episode and it also has a deep story line that will need to come together by the end of the season. Maggie Lawson is plays the perfect down on her luck, tom-boy mom who really takes loves her son and wants what's best for him. James Cane is the perfect fit for the grumpy Granddad/Dad/ex Baseball player who teaches the kids how to become better player/kids in unorthodox ways. He also is really good at showing a caring side, without showing it.If your tired of the same old sitcom with little depth, then this is the show for you. Give it a shot and I think you will find you like it.I hope it sticks around. It's a really good show.
mtrubic Of all the new shows coming out this month this one stands on top. I could tell that it has strong writing after the first few episode and that it is disciplined. Not to much trivial detail that overwhelms the viewer in the first few minutes, instead, it progresses character development and a slow sustainable pace that allows other sub-plots to emerge gradually.Currently I don't know what other projects that the writers/creators are responsible for but I intend to check them out. The cast is great. They appear to be a nice co-operative bunch. Looking forward to a good run of episodes that can get increasingly better as do most of my favourite shows - good effort from all involved.Congrats.I only wish some of the other shows that started this week could watch how you guys do it.
