Free Agents

I think it is a refreshing new twist on the sitcoms that are usually on. It is two adults, they don't partake in excessive drinking, nor excessive illegal drugs, they have jobs to go to. They both have lost a love in their life and it shows the true "fog" they are in as they stumble thru their recovery. To me is seems honest, good natured and I think the characters do a great job. The comedy is crisp and real. I do love the Portland scenes, although I don't think they are filming up here. It's too bad it is against such other heavy hitter shows in the current time slot. If this show was on Friday night or Sunday night it would be around longer. I will watch it until they take it off...but it is better than all the reality TV that hogs all the time slots.

Firstly, the casting in this show is brilliant! These are truly talented actors who could pull off any show thrown their way given a good script. Unfortunately, the writers are sleeping on the job. Either they have no writing talent or no true inspiration. Given the number of amazingly talented comedy writers available to breathe much needed oxygen into this show, I would think that Enbom would want to change out writers STAT. A personal Plea to Mr. Enbom: Dear John, please hire Rick Overton, John Fugelsang or Andy Borowitz and give this show the emergency CPR it requires to stay alive! If there is no immediate drastic change, I predict this show will be off the air by it's 4th episode.

probably the worst show I've seen that has been green lit after horrible feedback.

i was amazed to see promos and billboards of this out.

show's premise is very weak. hank is not a bankable lead actor for this show. i like him but not in this role. he honestly reminded me of a live action moe the bartender.

i had a buzzer while watching this pilot to signify at what point would i tune away to another program...i held it down for the entire time.

i sincerely hope that the show has been re-shot with the feedback that we all gave back.

a group of 30 of us spent a good 10 minutes bashing the show after the screening.

good luck hank.

and doesn't treat the thirty-and-fortysomethings like they're elderly. We find it funny and enjoyable and don't understand the highly negative ratings this is getting. I could do with less of Emma personally, but there's a lot of funny stuff and as has been mentioned, the cast are great.

As for the people who say it's worthless because it "doesn't compare" the UK version, well... haven't seen the original, might or might not ever see it, but definitely don't care how this compares to what inspired it. Same with The Office. Each succeeds or fails on its own merits.

Sad to hear Free Agents on the bubble, especially since the deplorable Whitney seems to have been picked up.

I give this a 7, which means we'll keep watching every week, and expect it to improve with time, if it's allowed to prosper.

Someone wrote a bunch of fake 1 star reviews...this show is one of the funnier sitcoms in a long time. Way better than the show before it Up All Night...that NBS promoted the hell out of. Up All Night is the dumbest show in a long time...this show is really funny! Honestly, probably a 8-9 star show...but all the jack-holes that gave it 1 star...it needed AND deserved the boost!

Hank Azaria is real and funny...his co-star is hysterical as well as she it a complete nut job and plays it well! Enjoy the show and write a review to offset the reviews by those who wouldn't know a decent show if it kicked them in the head!!
