Reviews

Tug-3 HBO takes the worst elements of its best shows and puts them on display in "The Mind of the Married Man." Has there ever been a show so unapologetic and self-centered? The actors are stuck with the unenviable task of playing people who you would never want to meet in real life: they are all whiny, arrogant, pushy knowitalls. While it's probably wrong to single out one actor for contempt, Sonya Walger is unwatchable. She dresses, moves, and acts exactly like the Stevie Nicks muppet. She and Mike Binder play a couple that has no chemistry and no reason for being.
myfoot I would hate for women to watch this show and think; "So this is what men are like when us women are not around, how informative." It also hails women as having it 'more together,' and as being smarter than men, just because these particular men are losers. It also seems that on this show, men can't keep from cheating or almost cheating.It's just plain sexist in my humble opinion. I feel like the main character is a jackass ambassador speaking on my behalf.
Daniocal The Mind of the Married Man is yet another great HBO series. Where Sex and the City has a definite female point of view and focus, Married Man plays with mans struggle to keep his inner "caveman" in check and remain happily married. As a married man I find the characters completely believable. In fact I see a lot more truth in the show than I care to admit. Married Man does seem to owe something to its predecessor "Dream On" but its different enough that the similarities didn't even occur to me until someone else pointed them out. My only criticism would be the transparent child of the Married Man who magically appears every breakfast scene only to disappear for the remainder of every episode with no effect on the lives of the two main characters.Bottom line is that Married Man is funny, revealing, and heads above any sit-com on network TV. Married guys will love this series!
odeenb This show is dead-on for married humor. Are you married? Are you a married guy? WATCH THIS SHOW!!!Are you a married woman? Do you want to know what goes on in that little pea-sized brain of his? WATCH THIS SHOW!!!
