Wow, this show had a Paleyfest spot and somehow that made me feel it was safe. I watched the pilot but couldn't keep up. Surprised at the killing spree NBC seems to be on today.
I'm a gay man and it wasn't that funny and borderlined on stereotypical cliches, the story lines needed work, the writing was crap (sorry Ryan Murphy but you can't do TV) and there was no chance at a successful second season since there were no loose strings or openings for a future at the end of the first season. I'm glad it showed (at least some) people about a gay couple getting a child and married and the challenges gay men go through. Would I have loved to see this succeed? Yes. Was I surprised when NBC gave it a full season order? Yes. Was I surprised that it didn't get a second season? No.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
I think I found their secret passage. I'll just wait right here.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised. I am a gay man but I always felt this show was a let down after the pilot, it was funny but too heavy handed.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit at NBC cancelling all their comedies except Community and Parks and Rec.
ReplyDeleteWow NBC really cleaned house, actually most networks did expect The CW
ReplyDeleteThe CW and I had a little argument. They did that out of spite!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's brutal cancellations.
ReplyDeleteI watched a few episodes.. then I kind of lost interest.
ReplyDeletenooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteSo not a single one of NBC's 2012-2013 comedies got a second season. Nice job, guys. Take the week off.
ReplyDeleteWell that explains a lot.
ReplyDeleteAt least it got a beautiful ending. =(

There was just something off-putting about it, I blame Ryan Murphy's sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteI watched the first few episodes, and just didn't think it was funny, who knows maybe it would have worked better as a drama.
ReplyDeleteNot as normal as they'd hoped.
ReplyDeletebeautiful ending!
