Jesse

Jesse Warner (Christina Applegate) is a single mom to Little John in Buffalo. She lives at home with her father (George Dzundza) and two brothers, one voluntarily silent. Diego (Bruno Campos) is the new neighbor from Chile and her new love interest. She works at her traditional father's bar with girlfriends Carrie (Jennifer Milmore) and Linda (Liza Snyder). Complicating matters is her ex-husband, who walked out on her 7 years before, but is back to reinsert himself into her life. In the second season, she's studying to be a nurse and gets a job at a clinic. There are other changes including little odd ones like Milmore's hair and big ones likes the disappearance of her family. Dzundza is a big personality and the show feels odd without such a big part of her life.

This is a Christina Applegate vehicle. After the success of Married with Children, the folks at NBC thought they had the formula to built around Christina. As such, it always felt fake and chemistry never truly set right. It just seemed to be too many things going on in this show. When they make one character voluntarily mute, it just showed how silly the writers got. The desperation really showed when it gets retooled dramatically for the second season. It's just a random sitcom to showcase Applegate and nothing more.

Christina Applegate returns to television since the end of her old show, Married With Children. What's surprising is how she plays someone who is somewhat serious instead of the incredibly stupid and, yes, sexy Kelly Bundy. Just shows how much talent she has. Anyway, I wouldn't say this is the best series NBC turned out, that probably being Seinfeld, but certainly not the worst, that being Jenny as far as I'm concerned. It's a basic comedy series like many of the others but proves itself to be enjoyable.

I love this show!! Best new show of the fall season. It makes me laugh every time I watch it. Albeit, I've only seen it 2 times, however I have fallen for Jesse's Mute brother, John Lehr. He's adorable. And her neighbor!! WOO HOO!!

I've just watched my first episode today. My first impression was that it was kinda fun to watch something where Christina Applegate didn't play a stupid bimbo. And after watching some more I found out that it was a very good series. It had lots of great moments. I especially liked the way Jesse handled the annoying man in the bar. This seems to be a very promising series. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

The producers of Friends have done it again. A comedy about the struggles we all go through life displayed in the funniest way possible. Like, Friends, Jesse has great actors such as Christina Applegate (from Married.. With Children). All the episodes and the stories are very well done. No wonder this show reached the top-ten so fast. Extremely entertaining. I hope this show stays around for a long time.
