Freddie

I have a different opinion than the one person who has commented.

I actually love this show, I think it's hilarious. Yes the humor is a tad offbeat, a little different than you'd expect from sitcoms, which is one of the main reasons why I love it.

The premise of the show is a single, young, successful man trying to date and find love while having his family, who all happen to be women, live with him.

I love the chemistry that the actors share and I think both Freddie Prinze Jr. and Brian Green do fabulous jobs at playing their roles. I really enjoy the writing and I look forward to seeing Freddie every week. I for one, am glad for the show!

The main point of this review: The show never changes. It's all about girls and parties every single antagonizing episode. I could relate this to Everybody Hates Chris (which I also reviewed) but the shows are nothing like each other, even though they're both horrible and should not have been picked up for full seasons. I can't see why they didn't cancel this show already. The humor is offbeat and the show is a complete waste of half an hour. Many probably will not agree with me but I rest my case. And I don't necessarily mean the summary I wrote, just in case you were wondering. Freddie Prinze, Jr. just isn't funny and his dumb friend doesn't support the show anymore than he does.

I noticed this show when it was first released and wasn't sure whether or not to watch it, because i've never really like Freddie Prinze Jr's work. Being he is usually in romantic comedy's. The pilot episode for this series kept me laughing from beginning to finish and almost every other episode of the season followed suit. The plot may be a little unrealistic but that does not impact the fact that it is hilarious and interesting. Another review says that every episode is about the same thing girls and parties, while first of all why is that a bad thing and second its not the only series out there that is. Anyway in my opinion, you have to wonder why someone who writes a review like the one already posted even bothered to watch more then an episode if it was that horrible, i know I'm not alone in enjoying this show, so if you don't like it then don't watch it don't watch an entire season and then critique it. Anyway for those who haven't seen it it is definitely worth watching the first episode or two if you like comedy's in general and the you can decide if you want to watch more, but it is definitely a good way to pass a half hour!

I must admit, I only started watching this show because of the recognizable members of the cast (Freddie Prinze Jr, Brian Austin Green, Madchen Amick), but I find it to be one of the funniest sitcoms on TV right now. I totally disagree with the comment that it is trying to be like Joey, mostly because whenever I've tried to watch Joey, I find it pretty boring- I usually can't even sit through an episode! Freddie is fresh and funny without being typical. I especially like that the grandmother only speaks in Spanish...there's something so hilarious about comedy through subtitles. Prinze's comic timing is surprisingly wonderful, given some of his romantic comedy bombs in the past (Summer Catch anyone?) and who knew that Brian Austin Green was so funny? The characters in the show are quite entertaining especially Freddie's drunken widow sister-in-law (Amick) and rich, shallow, womanizing best friend (Green). These two are supremely funny when in scenes together. All in all, I'd say it's a great show that's completely worth watching!

As have I. I really like Freddie but I just can't get into it. His comedy is very forced and unnatural. He seems awkward. He is best in his scenes with Brian Austin Green (who is hilarious all on his own). The sister is a bad actress delivering dumb lines. The blonde lush is pretty funny but one-dimensional. They should give her and Green the show and let them lead. Freddie's grandmother is just painful. Whether you understand Spanish or not, she obviously understands English as she responds accurately to the other characters, but can't seem to speak a word. Odd. Basically, if Freddie loosened up, expands the Chris and Allison roles and dumps the rest of them for a stronger group, it might stand a chance. Freddie and Brian might want to throw on a pair of flip-flops and a tanktop now and then for some eye-candy. But as it is now ... suffice it to say that good comedy should seem effortless and "Freddie" seems anything but.
