Abby's

Less than five minutes into the pilot and I was bored. Forced jokes - it feels like very other sitcoms from the 80's. A bit unique in that it is filmed "before a live outdoor audience." So why does it feel the laughs are canned like sitcoms from the 70's?

I would like this show to succeed - we need some good comedy shows, but I'm afraid this will need major retooling.

So many good actors yet the story is so forced it's uncomfortable. I love Neil Flynn and have seen Franklin Nelson in many failed pilots. I really like him, but we can't seem to get him in a series that sticks. The outdoor setting is interesting, but when will Hollywood stop with the laugh tracks. Stop telling us when we should laugh and write something we will laugh at! I gave it two full episodes to convince me, but I don't think it's worth my time.

Maybe I'm sick of sit-coms with laugh tracks after jokes or even plain dialogue that isn't even remotely worth a chuckle, but I didn't find the show funny at all.

Cut the laugh track, it's disturbing other than that good start.

I haven't enjoyed a sitcom in years, but watched this by chance and was intrigued. It started bumpy, but by the end seems like it will make for a good show, assuming the producers CAN whomever is forcing the CANNED laughter.

I'll give it another one or two episodes, as I want to like it, but the only genuinely laugh-out-loud funny moment occurred during the credits roll.

Has potential, with a different twist to the typical filmed at a bar sitcom, with a looming protagonist. Refreshing concept, assuming they can let the jokes flow a little better next episode, since the really tense mood should be gone, or at least significantly less looming.

BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, THE CANNED LAUGHTER MUST GO. THIS WILL KILL THE SHOW SO FAST.
