I'm Sorry

This comedy show in intended for adult audiences. It features Andrea Savage and Tom Everett Scott as parents of a young daughter, played by newcomer Olive Petrucci.

Olive is adorable and Tom ("La La Land") is a great foil for Andrea's stand-up style of humor. She doesn't tiptoe through the minefield of motherhood, she bulldozes. She targets new trends with a non-PC outspokenness that is refreshing. In one episode she lampoons "goddess parties".

The show features a great supporting cast, like Kathy Baker ("Boston Public"; "Boston Legal"; and other non--Boston shows), and some guest stars who are fun to see (like Judith Light and Martin Mull). I hope some of them (like Morgan Walsh and Gary Anthony Williams) will return.

If you like sharp-edged humor and don't mind some profanity, this is a good show to watch. The style of humor reminds me of "Nobodies" and "Teachers".

I am picky with my comedy and sitcomes. I absolutely love this one. The dynamic between all the characters is great. They play off of each other well. I feel the show is relatable and pushes boundaries just the right amount. There are even a few subtle teachable moments. I find this show extremely funny.

I like it over all but Andrea can be a bit tiring. She is extremely dominating. She takes all the screen time, all the jokes and talks constantly. All the other characters are basically just back drops for her to bounce her jokes and awkward comments off of. It's a shame because the characters are great you just don't get to hear them. It's an untapped resource that could balance it out.

I usually don't like comedies with awkward situations and misunderstandings (basically I cannot identify with such comedic characters) but this new comedy with stand-up comedian Andrea Savage is rather entertaining.

The setup is far from original, the suburban wife and mom, with the understanding, supporting husband and the curious kid, but the "feel" is different from other comedies, let's say "American Housewife" (which is also a good comedy for its own sake).

The script is well written for its genre, although the "do or say something awkward in front of other people who then staring at you with contempt and disapproval" pattern might get old really soon.

Overall: Check it out if you like jokes derived from uncomfortable situations.

I created an account just to post this review for I'm Sorry. What a terrific new comedy, A+ TruTV.

I'm sorry has the feel of another show I used to enjoy, The League, however I'd have to say I'm Sorry is even funnier. The cast is terrific and the lead, Andrea, is relatable and along with her friend Kyle, gut busting funny. The dialogue is top notch. Terrific new show!
