Better with You

I really do like this show. It certainly deserves more than a 6 point something rating. I could describe it using the words "fresh" and "original" but probably not "hilarious" or "best".

The characters have been growing on me and I like the way the 3 couple's responses are compared in similar situations at the start and end of each episode - it can be very funny, especially the older pair who's relationship is a little err, tried and tested?

The most similar sort of show I could compare it to would be Dharma and Greg, sort of, but I'm hard pressed to think of another show like it.

If I want light, refreshing entertainment, something easy to watch when I first plonk myself down on the lounge after a hard day's work, then "Better with You" is my choice. I don't need to think too much about it and it helps to put the stress of the day behind me and settle me in for a quiet, relaxing evening.

'Better with You' is a very clever comedy with a unique format and incredibly imaginative story lines. Each episode contains fast paced scenes with jokes that feel fresh and original. Since the majority of story lines center completely on 6 well-developed characters (3 couples: one sister and her fiancé, another sister and her LONG-term boyfriend, and the sisters' parents), the show has become funnier and funnier with each episode. If you're new to this show, start from the beginning, and you will quickly fall in love with each character's personality, as well as each quirky storyline. One of the things I most look forward to during each episode are the quick opening and ending tags, which feature "parallels" between the three couples.. these scenes are especially well thought-out and hilariously executed!!

Wow! What a fun show. I've been a fan of Jennifer Finnigan from her outstandingly entertaining work in a guest-starring role on Crossing Jordan and through her first sitcom. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the entire cast is equally sharp in this new offering! About the rarest thing to find in a new sitcom is a freshness of approach and "Better With You" definitely has it. Oh, the scripts are not revolutionary -- after all, it is a sitcom about modern couples living in the city. But they are fresh, unpredictable, and absorbing. There is a sure hand on this very polished comedic work and it's great to see top-notch actors wring laugh after laugh out of truly engaging material. In all the best sitcoms, the comedy springs from character -- clearly everyone on either side of the camera knows this and knows how to deliver it.

I first watched this because I was channel surfing and didn't recognize the name. Now I make time to watch this great show. It reminds me of 'the old sitcoms' that made me laugh so much. I don't need an intricate plot or running back story to be entertained by a sitcom, I just want the actors to be good and to have some great dialogue. Better with You delivers on these. The premise of viewing relationships from 3 different points of view is fantastically funny, particularly when you're watching the show with your partner and trying to decide which couple you are most like. The ladies definitely drive the comedy of the show, with the men being the foils. Josh Cooke is hilarious as the 'OMG she's dating a musician' boyfriend, and, of course, Debra Jo Rupp is brilliant as the Mom who always has the perfect one liner. I would definitely recommend this show.

I loved this show, it was a very interesting and new idea to the sitcom gender, i was so upset when i learned they canceled it, shame... i mean good actors, the set was very well thought and designed and the idea of the whole shoe was exciting, if this show had just one more season it could have been a serious contender to HIMYM! Maybe network and producers should give it a shot, i'm sure if they bring it back now, they won't be disappointed with the reviews, now house is gone, HIMYM is gone, scrubs are done, no real competition at all and it could start to grow on people, i loved this show, it was heartwarming and i could really feel connected with the youngest couple and also could use the advices from the elder one!
