Leap of Faith

Not only is this show on right after "Friends," (BONUS), but it's funny, fresh, and amazing to watch. It's only 30 minutes long, but when it's over, you feel like only 10 minutes have gone by, it's just that good. Sarah Paulson is one of the best underrated actresses on television, she is perfect in this part. From the writers of Sex and the City, Leap of Faith is a leap worth taking.

Wow! This has got to be one of the WORST "sitcoms" I've ever seen. After the first few minutes, I thought that NBC was pulling a stunt by broadcasting a half-hour drama after Friends. I tried to be as open-minded and receptive as possible, but I think Schindler's List had more humor than this piece of schlock.

The main problem here is that this show - and most sitcoms in general - are typically nothing more than a writer's medium. It's less about the relationships between the characters than it is about the, ahem..."witty" banter. The constant ping-ponging back and forth of one-liners is so unbelievable and unrealistic, that we end up not believing in the characters at all. It simply hampers the actor's ability to respond truthfully and what you end up with is a bunch of talking heads.

Note to producers and network execs: for the love of god, turn to Nickelodean and check out All In The Family and The Golden Girls. There's a reason these reruns are still popular.

Another of those wannabe 'cool' shows with oh-so-smart one-liners all over the place. It's just not funny and as usual uses sex, sex talk, and sexual innuendo for humor. All this so early in the night too.

This is another certain cancellation, like the rest of those awful 830p Thursday shows. TV really has sunk to even lower levels than in the late '90s.

I don't know if I have rolled my eyes so much in one sitting before. Man this show is such a disappointment, I really don't know where to begin, so I will just DIG IN: Sarah Paulson - NOT FUNNY and NOT OLD ENOUGH to be portraying an OVER 30 something. The woman is like 27. She is no Sarah Jessica Parker and I make that comparison because LEAP OF FAITH was pitched as a "tamer version of Sex and the City". I was excited, because I think Sex and the City is a bit TOO MUCH. But LEAP is a bit TOO LITTLE. THE WRITING. Hellooooo?? Could it be ANY MORE INSULTING to this 31 YEAR OLD SINGLE WOMAN? I am the target audience people!! DEVELOP A STORY once in awhile, okay? Especially the characters. WE DON'T KNOW THEM YET. Let us get to know them... I dunno what else. I had to change the channel. Another sitcom down the drain. Too bad.

What a piece of garbage!!! What's the deal with all of these TV shows like "Leap of Faith" and "Ally McBeal" where the central female character is beautiful, intelligent, and ambitious; but at the same time stupid, selfish, and neurotic! Every stereotype is in full force here! Let's see. Besides the lead character mentioned, you have her high and mighty sister, her mother who thinks she might be gay because she's not married yet, the office tramp who will probably catch something down the road, and the ideal man, the stud with a heart of gold. As a single man, I'm sick and tired of seeing these so-called comedies rape the institution of marriage and family. To the writers of this show: why do hate marriage so much? Why do you make fun of people who want to be "complete" with someone else? Why do you think people "die" once they get married? Why do you think marriage is for "people who want to give up"? There are a few good points to the show: Tim Meadows was funny (give him his own show and take him away from this Crap) and, THANK GOD, the girls have a guy friend at the office who IS NOT GAY. It is refreshing to see that, even though I realize his waving to every girl he sees perpetuates another stereotype. It's really sad that TV shows can't depict a woman (or a man) who decides to sacrifice, give up some of their life, and, yes, do what is right!
