Me, Myself and I

A tangent first, if you will grant me the time...

Is anyone familiar with Trans-Syberian Orchestra's "Bethoven's Last Night?"

There is a song in there "This is Who You Are" of which some of the lyrics are:

Wandering inside this night Finding pieces of a life Never sure I'd ever know what it means

It's the strangers in your life That you'd never thought you'd meet It's the hand that picked you up When you're laying in the street

It's then hand that cut you down It's the dream that someone shared When you thought that all was lost It's the friend that wasn't there

You can run from all the memories But never get that far For in the end they'll find you For this is who you are Change one note Change one line Nothing's going to be the same Change one loss Change one cut Everything is rearranged

Every act Cruel of kind Lost inside our memory If you look There in time

You'll find it in, Find it in, Find it in, You'll find it in me

This show reminds me very much of those lyrics.

Everything that we experience - no matter how long ago it happened - is all still inside and influences how we see the world we see today.

In the case of this show, it makes for a very sweet heartwarming show. A show that I find very comforting.

I especially like that it doesn't fall into tropes - the brother is nice - not the bully from other shows, the step-father is GREAT, the blended family works together. The father and daughter get along great in the middle age segments, and I love John Larroquette's relationship with the older version of the daughter.

All in all, I really like this show and hope that it lasts a long time.

I really love this show! It's refreshing and charming. I like all of three Alex's - especially older Alex! The dialogue is believable and the story is engaging. I found myself really rooting for all the Alex's and I'm excited to see how things turn out for him! Alex's daughter (both young girl and young woman) are terrific! Thanks for a delightful show! Keep it going!

This TV is much better than I expected it to be. The 1991 time period is certainly the most interesting and well-done in my opinion, but the middle aged and aging Alex both have much to add to the story as well.The story is refreshing and true to life as there are certainly disheartening moments in Alex's life, but there is always a shred of hope in any situation. I also love the fact that they didn't fall for the stepfather trope, and that Alex and him have a beautiful relationship. The standout is certainly Jack Dylan Grazer as Alex and I hope we can see him in more in the future!

This show is a breath of fresh air. It's funny, sweet, irreverent, and makes me PRAY that they don't mess it up and get it canceled. Please give it some more press, CBS! The child actor who plays Alex is a total gem. Of course Bobby Moynihan is hilarious and has a sweet, innocent quality. Then there is the legend, John Larroquette. This cast is unbelievable, and they can go the distance if they keep up this momentum.

I generally do not like sit-coms these days as too many rely on formulaic structure, lazy writing and/or crude humor (I'm looking at you, Two Broke Girls), but I find Me, Myself and I promising.

I don't recall ever seeing a show with this concept, simultaneously depicting a character's life in three different time periods; the premise itself caught my attention enough to give it a go.

Kudos to the casting department who assembled a great group. While others have criticized the height discrepancy between the two adult Alexes, I think it's brilliant.

I look forward to seeing what's in store.

P.S. A special note to the network-type people: stop killing shows before they can get their foot hold. Remember ... Cheers was 74th out of 77 shows its first season and went on to be one of the most popular series of ALL TIME.
