Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Chappy Watched The whole reason I even wanted to watch this was for the mini My Name Is Earl reunion with Jaime Pressly (Joy Turner) and Ethan Suplee (Randy Hickey).While it was okay to watch, it was pretty much another version of Mom, the CBS comedy starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney but I haven't watched that yet so I couldn't tell you if it is better or worse.The story was okay, there we some laughs and Pressly and Suplee were definitely the highlights of the cast as well as some of the guest stars like Jeffrey Tambor, Kurt Fuller, Steve Howey and Chris D'Elia.Whlie it was good to watch once, it isn't something I need to watch again and I'm not fussed that it was cancelled.

Taylor Kingston I'm honestly quite upset, and sad that this show got cancelled. I thought it was good. I found it quite different to a lot of other shows.This show is about a woman who was very wealthy, and had a great career, who loses her job, and has to move, with her teenage daughter, back into her Mother's house. She has to work at her brother's bar just to make ends meat. Now, back in her hometown, she, and her daughter, both have to get used to their new lives.Best part of the show: The fact that Randy, and Joy (from My Name Is Earl) are back together in the same show again.Overall, I give this TV show an 6 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Good.

SnoopyStyle Jennifer Doyle (Jaime Pressly) is a single mother Gretchen (Dylan Gelula). She loses her high paying investment banking job and is forced to move back with her mother Maggie (Jessica Walter). The only job prospect is a waitress in her brother Wayne (Ethan Suplee)'s bar which he owns with his wife Stephanie (Nora Kirkpatrick). She reconnects with her childhood friend Dina (Missi Pyle).This is a pretty traditional single gal sitcom. Jaime Pressly is pretty good for the comedic genre. They also have some good comedic talents like Walter, Suplee, and Pyle. The situation is mostly unlikely but it's light enough to be funny. It's average without consistent big laughs. It's a good show for the smaller cable networks but nothing special or original. It's canceled after one season.

Dunham16 The new concept of only recently independent adult children horning in on an aging parent by surprise to live in the childhood home again to mooch off the parent while sulking is a recent phenomenon the press is labelling the boomerang kid. There is so much current press coverage and so much need to analyze or publicize this new trend that the premise of the show seems quite timely and well focused. The show could very well spin this idea to be a timely and commercial success. What has happened is it is poorly funded single camera meaning the visual is not up to, for example, the show slotted immediately before it on cable - HOT IN CLEVELAND, which may end up among the most successful half hour situation comedies in broadcast history I can't really bond to a single member of the tight ensemble cast or to any of the half hour comic plots which focus away from rather than toward the current news issue. A great opportunity by a forward thinking cable station which is totally wasted.
