. . .for a better show.
This show is an example of al la carte television. There is nothing original and it simply is put together from pieces of other shows with King of Queens being the foundation.
They took King of Queens and made almost the same pilot from All in the Family with touch of Coach. The boyfriend character is almost a carbon copy as Stuart from Coach.
The plot itself of the pilot played out like your typical laugh- track comedy, and it ended like an episode of Home Improvement.
There were some funny lines, only those delivered by Kevin James. The oldest girl seemed to be the only one to hold her own with Kevin's humor. The woman that plays his wife is awful. Her acting reminds me of Isabel Sanford from The Jeffersons. She delivers lines like a high school play.

This show is very much like a Norman Lear show of the '70s and I don't mean that an insult.
It's a show that is not afraid to have cutting issues, while still remain funny. Unlike many shows on today, the characters face consequences that do not reset in the next episode.
Our country currently has a drug problem, so I am glad that they don't sugar-coat the characters and give them just a drinking addiction, which has been done over and over again.
Anna Faris is also very funny and talented. She can make you laugh with just a look.

Once again, I look forward to a new show only to be disappointed by someone's new take of a classic (my last disappointment was Hawaii Five-O).
I don't mind things being updated, but when writers screw with things that worked well like the most recent Muppet films, it's hard to take notice how bad it is.
First, The Muppets had a clean humor that appealed to every range. The humor in this show appeals more to the 18-34 crowd only.
Second, they are not mimicking a style that fresh. It's a style that has been done for about 10 years or so and it's even old now. If they wanted to do something that fit The Muppets more, they should have looked at the movies and then Glee, rather than Modern Family.
Third, they use guest stars poorly. They most always play themselves. You should have a big name play some whacky character that you would not expect him/her play.
That pretty much covers it. It's seems like a show with no identity or originality.
