    I Like It!

    I'd give it a ten, but it's still finding it's legs. But it has the possibility of becoming a great show. The writing is superb and the acting is getting better in every episode. The cast is fun, especially the women. I'm rooting for it to succeed, I hope the network gives them enough of a chance. Kristen Johnston was great in 3rd Rock, and she's great in this. I was hoping Donald Faison would reappear in something fun, and he has. Kelly stables, as 6" Holly's 4"10' assistant is great. The other two guy characters are so far, just kind of annoying. No fault of the actors, I just think maybe that boring men are difficult characters to play without making them annoying. Overall I like the show and find myself laughing out loud. If I had one suggestion, it would be that they could use another character or two.

    Highly enjoyable

    This show is a hidden gem that I came across by accident on prime. The title didn't sound appealing but after only a few episodes the characters grew on me and I couldn't get enough of them. This show is mostly fun, not exactly the laugh out loud type (how many of those are there?) but there were quite a few funny ones. If nothing else it's bound to entertain. Comedy tastes vary but give a try.

    Can't believe that this make it to the 4th season!

    I can't believe that "The Exes" make it to the 4th season! I don't mean that this is a bad comedy. It's OK-ish. But the networks have canceled faaar more interesting and funny comedies out there.

    Anyway. This is a painless "roommates" kind of comedy. 3 men who recently divorced are forced to live under the same roof and across the apartment of the female lawyer who helped them. Obviously the 3 men have totally different personalities and as I remember there were some conflicts in the 1st season but I guess there are more like a family now.

    The leads are not too charismatic. Second class more like it.

    Most of the jokes are dating related. To tell you the truth I'm kind of bored by the "I am the man and I have a hot date" kind of jokes and the semi-funny pickup lines in a bar.

    Another thing that always bothers me in these sitcoms is the fake laughing track which unfortunately is present in this show too.

    Overall: It's not a bad series but I hardly think that it is worth the time to watch it regularly.

    Laugh Out Loud Funny

    One of the best sitcoms out there. It's actual scripted television with multiple cameras and talented actors, filmed in front of a live studio audience. Kristen Johnston leads a brilliant and hysterical ensemble cast. The adorable Kelly Stables (2 1/2 Men) is the 4' 11" assistant Eden, to Kristen's 6 ft Holly. The sight gags here alone are almost worth the price of admission. Kristen plays a divorce attorney who opens her second apartment to 3 ex-clients and proceeds to mother hen them, while having love life difficulties of her own. She's reunited with Wayne Knight, her 3rd Rock from the Sun love interest (best known as Newman from Seinfeld). Donald Faison (Scrubs) as the resident 'player' and David Bascher as the third of the three EXES. Their chemistry gets better with every episode and the writing is top notch. One of the few shows I watch the same night it airs.

    New Fan of The Exes

    I watched a few episodes when the show first started. I enjoyed the show but something just didn't click. I'm a big fan of Leah Remini from when I watched the King of Queens, another show that I love. Anyway, when I saw the advertisement that Leah Remini was going to be on the show I just had to give The Exes another try. I'm so glad that I did! I've laughed out loud! Seriously, I will keep watching as long as Leah Remini/Nikki is on the show. To me, she was just what the show needed. I'm looking forward to the new season. I just hope Leah Remini/Nikki will be a permanent character on the show.

    The Exes are growing on me! Lol
