I have watched a lot of TV in my life, some good, some not so good.Rarely have I witnessed a show such as this that is so abysmally wretched that I completely fail to capture how vile it is in spite of usIng all my favorite derogatory nouns and adjectives.I can only assume those giving this train wreck high marks are either TV industry hacks and shills or perhaps are quadriplegics unable to operate the remote to see what else might be on one of the other 1001 channels.The structure is a shameless rip-off of Seinfeld, complete with a hipster doofus Kramer clone.The gags are obvious and completely devoid of humor above a 3rd grade level.Anyone who received one dime of compensation from this crapfest should forever be banned from the industry for life. Yeah, I know that sentence is a head- scratcher. I mean it: if someone who profited from this stinking cesspool of inanity were to die should come back to life, they should still be banned.What a sad, embarrassing waste of perfectly good electrons.

The only reason I watched this show, is because they replaced a great show (American Dad) with this highly predictable comedy that isn't funny, and I keep hoping that American Dad will one day find its place back in the only line up on television that I truly watch. This show makes no sense. Why do these characters who are just recently divorced want to jump back in to the dating game, all the while demonstrating that they haven't learned from the their last failed relationships. Why didn't they try to just work it out with their previous spouses? Oh I know because they are all looking for the so called "THE ONE". It seems to me With the exception of the one guy Jack "Gator" Gately (I really don't know any of these actors/actresses, not from other shows or any place) who's girl left him because she's shallow and was cheating, no one else gave a strong argument for their splits. All the characters in this show are shallow, their dating choices are based sole on looks. The spouses that they had before were all hot. The women in this show is supposedly suppose to be intelligent because she can always out wit the guys, in insults and problem solving, but it's the looks and money that fuels her dating interest, it fuels all of their motivation for dating someone. I understand that we are attracted to people based on that, but do we all have to pretend that only hot people walk the earth turning our heads? People say "Oh it's just television". That is true, but when you can predict every punch line and situation about to happen, you have to ask your self, were is the evolution of the art of joke telling in sitcoms? And I feel very sorry for the actor Shaun Majumder. I feel he's doing what blacks had to do back when they were first allowed to play in films, steppin and fetching (you know all the yes masa and mammy talk). The whole accent thing is a put down, and a let down, and it shows me that America still believes that such degrading unfunny racial satire is still OK. Not saying you can't make fun of one for being different, that is the black art of comedy, nor am I saying it's racially biased and driven. What I am saying is that we need to be more intelligent and diverse when it comes to putting down those who are different. Stop recycling the same old racist jokes, stop recycling the same Idea that men are stupid and clueless around women, stop recycling the girl sidekick, who none of her male friends seems to be attracted to, until two seasons in. And I predict that if this show goes on for that long she and this gator guy will realize they were the "one" for each other all along, sounds like another miserable show I never watched but know that it's the bases for some of this, "Freinds". Happy TV watching ya ll.

What is it about the Farrelly brothers that people enjoy? No matter what they make, I just can't find any decent entertainment out of it. The jokes suck, the humor is almost non-existent, and the whole experience is tedious and painful.And, that about sums up Fox's latest supposed sitcom.What equates to an unfunny "Seinfeld" knock-off, this show tries to be edgy and funny and fails on both counts about 98% of the time. When you don't even find yourself smiling (much less laughing) at a sitcom, then something is wrong with the show.To quickly sum up this mess, four single friends (on of them recently divorced) jump back into the dating circuit, with supposed hilarity ensuing. But, if things like worn out sex jokes and "kid in the helmet" jokes are the best these writers can do, then this show is in desperate need of help.Honestly, there are much better things you can do with your Sunday night. Slamming your head against a brick wall comes to mind.In closing, this show just sucks. There is no other way to really say it.

i knew by the trailers which have been running the past 6 weeks that this show was going to be awful. I just didn't expect it to be AS bad as it was.so as to not "spoil" anything, i'll refrain from mentioning the closing visuals of the cold open featuring an Orangutan, but it made south park look tasteful.regardless of the heinous opening, the rest of the show was simply not funny. i mean not even remotely funny... it was kinda sad.this show would never have seen the light of day if it had not been for the track record of the producers.
