Leanne

I love Leanne Morgan's comedy but I was unsure what to expect. Fortunately it gets better as the show goes along as most do; you get to know the characters and their little quirks. Leanne does pretty well as an actress and I have loved Kristen Johnson since Third Rock From The Sun, she is a strong supporting character as Leanne's sister. The rest of the characters are strong as well. The show may not be at the top of the comedy ladder, but it's worth watching.

I just can't handle the laugh track. It might be watchable if it were not for the laugh track. The acting is not great and the writing is bad, but the laugh track is what kills this show. The accents seem fake as well. But again it is the laugh track that kills this show. Why do studios keep using this outdated technology. Fake laughing about a guy dying on a toilet.

Love Leanne but the inserted laughter and music in between scenes takes from the show.

They should look at how "Modern Family" was so successful ..... without background music or laughter.

The storylines and jokes are good. I would like to have seen more "real" scenes vs fake ones. I hope it makes it but prefer Leanne on stage.

I love LeAnne as a stand-up comedian so I was curious about her new show. So far it's cute & quirky with southern charm. I'm 5 episodes in and it got better after the 2nd episode. As any new show goes it takes a moment to a get a feel for it, this one is growing on me and has a lot of potential. It's not super hilarious but it is funny and a lot better than other shows these days that have such dry/boring humor that rarely get a laugh. I have laughed several times watching this so far. I think the cast is great aside from her daughter, not sure what about her irks me. Anyway I think it's great so far.

To be honest I was not expecting to like this show. I think Leanne is a great comic and the cast and crew involved are solid, but the trailers made it seem like just another run of the mill, overdone sitcom; with predictable plotlines and even more predictable character arcs. However- the first five minutes alone had these ideas completely flipped on their heads. These stereotypes more so serving as a familiarity, a comfort to get you on your feet. You know how it's going to play out, sure, but the way the show conveys the story is fresh and addictive. While I think some episodes could have been cut down (though it is nice to see a 16 episode straight to streaming show!), Leanne is a series I can see myself coming back to when I just need something to laugh about. It may not be the most profound show ever, but its charm and wit are definitely worth the watch.

If you weren't already familiar with Leanne's work as a comic, this series will make you want to be.
