Reviews

waiching liu I saw two episodes of this sitcom, and by god it was one of the worst shows ever. I was never a fan of Jenna Elfman- no offence, i'm sure she is a really wonderful person but in regards to her work, I have never really liked anything she has done. and this sitcom is one of them. Courting Alex is one of those sitcoms which shouldn't really be classified as a sitcom, because it is so excruciatingly bad and so unfunny, i turned off after watching 15 mins of two episodes of this show. Fred baron did a great job with Caroline in the City, which is one of my favourite sitcoms ever, and yet with this show and My family- a UK based sitcom,it is thus disappointing that with these efforts, he hasn't really delivered.Courting Alex was utter dross- I have never once laughed at any of those situations or those episodes, the writing was truly horrific to say the least. Though i'm not surprised it got canned, as I didn't warm to or connected with any of those characters; they had no personality, no spark- they were just so one-dimensional that there really wasn't much you could say about each of them.Thank goodness that this show is no longer running in syndication because it was awful, from start to finish.
aaronkavo-1 Lot's of great comedy's on TV but this is the one for 2006! The story is about a New York lawyer Alex Rose and her boyfriend Scott. When I first seen the adverts to it I thought it'd be a real girls comedy but I liked it (As you can see from my rating)! Like lot's of comedy's it has canned laughter at jokes that aren't that funny but it makes up for it. So far I haven't seen a bad episode. I don't know about you but I say it is not a prime time comedy.It's like The War at Home, Friends,Joey,Everybody Hates Chris, Two and a Half etc.. one of those. I think it's a comedy that doesn't take that long to learn all of the characters (Like 'The Simpsons') where like Everybody Loves Raymond I still don't know all of there names yet and I've been watching it for like a year now. One of the reasons it doesn't take that long to learn there names is because there isn't loads of characters. It's really a great comedy so give it a chance.
jackflash888 Well, networks have to put something on. And when star directors like James Burrows (Cheers) and actresses fresh from perfect roles and sitcoms from the likes of Chuck Lorre's (Dharma and Greg) can't save the sinking ship, one knows there is a serious problem in Hollywood. Jenna did what she could in a soap romance comedy (they don't work at night) chick show (the guys are not in the room) and there was nothing wrong with the direction. But, there HAS to be something in the writing to direct. I think it is called...talent. Or funny would be nice too.Yup, the writers killed the show. Or lack of writing. Fred Barron has a couple of great sitcoms in Dave's World and others...but what was he thinking here? Chuck Lorre went straight from Dharma and Greg to Two and a Half Men...arguably as funny or funnier than Dharma and Greg. Fred just did not get a right crew together here...the cast did not work well, the characters did not work well and were not credible, and the storyline was terrible. I knew it was doomed when my girlfriend liked it. The kiss of death. It was like scraps of other hit shows were thrown into a blender and Fred Barron came up with what you get when you mix scraps together in a blender...garbage.
debs11459 I now give myself a half hour break to shampoo the cat; Every Wednesday night at 8:30pm pacific 7:30pm central. What a pile of crap. The commercials have more entertainment value. Fire the writers, fire the cast, put the poor crew on paid leave. This dumb show jumped the shark before the shark was born. I would certainly hope someone in programming at CBS knows the best time to air this program would be at 3:30 AM Saturday morning. That way most of America would be spared the lame idiocy this show has to offer. Whether one uses his or her time to shampoo the cat, read an entire life insurance binder or simply smash ones privates flat with a wooden mallet, anything will be surprisingly less painful than one horrible second watching, "Courting Alex".
