    Not bad...you gotta give it time

    I like this show, It's a light comedy and there's a lot that people can relate to on this show. After seeing the kind of crap they have put on the air lately I think it's kind of nice to see a good old fashioned light comedy. Something that makes me laugh for half an hour and makes me smile after seeing it.

    I'm not about to compare it to other shows after only a few episodes, any of you out there that remembers Seinfeld?, they almost canceled the show but they stuck with it and it became one of the best show ever. Not all sitcom starts off really strong like Friends, give it time people.

    Anyway, I think it has a lot of potential, even though it's kind of hard to stay original on television these days.

    Hey it makes me Laugh!

    All, I have to say is this is the first sitcom show this fall that I have liked. There aren't many sitcoms these days like back in the 90's.....and I am getting sick of reality TV.

    Perhaps Jay Mohr's character does go a little too far at times, but it gets me laughing. I don't want this getting canceled like last fall's show with John Lithgow and Judith Light.

    I think there is a better title out there for Gary Unmarried. Although it was the title that caught my eye. I don't feel Gary Unmarried really goes with what the show is about. Two parents who are divorced and taking care of their kids.

    Pleasantly Surprising

    I was very skeptical that this show would be anything less that a jumbled mess with crass humor thrown in every now and then by Jay Mohr. Don't get me wrong, I love Jay Mohr, he has his moments, but I wasn't sure a sitcom was going to be a good moment.

    But it's funny! It's really, truly funny! It's interesting family dynamics, with a flare of those good ol' sitcom family antics. Ryan Malgarini is hysterical, a young talent with great comedic timing. The writers put a lot of sass in it, and it's the kind of comedy that makes you laugh big.

    It's a good laugh; you're going to smile all the way through the whole show. It doesn't take itself seriously, and it's funnier for it.

    One of the best new shows.

    One of the new shows that is worth seeing.

    I have liked Jay Mohr in most of the things that I have seen him in.

    There have been many posts that indicate how mad people are over the portrayal of the relationship between Gary and his ex-wife, Allison. I don't know what is wrong with people.

    If I wanted reality television, I wouldn't tune in to a sitcom (which stands for situational comedy, for those idiots out there that don't think the show is true enough).

    I want a show that I can tune into and it will make me laugh. This show does that.

    I thoroughly enjoy "Gary's" son Tom. The actor who plays Tom, Ryan Magarini, does a great job.

    I hate it when writers try too hard to make kids funny on television. This seems to be a right mix of smart comedy for a kid his age.

    Paula Marshall is absolutely fantastic in this show. I hope this show will stick around for a while.

    A really good show

    I will take this time to respond to some of the negative comments I've seen about this show.

    First off, the acting is great, despite some opinions. And second, some people are forgetting what these shows are all about. To help you relax, make you laugh and put you in a good mood. The show DOES that. And yes, if you sit there and start searching for things wrong with it, you will find some but that is not the point of the program. It doesn't matter that there are "loose ends" with the script or that somebody found a joke stupid. The show has a lot of originality in terms of comedy. If you are picky enough you will find wrong things even with the king "Friends", but if you want to enjoy a funny show watch Garry Unmarried.
