Anybody watching this show? I caught the first two episodes on Saturday & thought they were funny, at times even hilarious. I love the flow of the show- each installment is like watching a 1/2 hour play. I'm looking forward to watching my DVR'd episode tonight, but I was wondering if anybody has been watching it & what you think.

I was hoping to like it because John Ritter's son is on the show. But I didn't like it. I think the show needs to be revamped with some characters off the canvas. There was only parts of the show I found funny. I only saw the premiere episode. I didnt watch last night.

I LOVED last night's episode- probably my favorite so far. Lovvvvvved Kyle's hispanic bf (name escapes me) saying "Go Hurricane" (rooting for the Hurricane over Holly, the annoying weathergirl ex of Kyle's). I think he's hysterical & totally underrated. The stop sign sight gag was laugh out loud funny as well (even though I knew something was coming from previews). I hope more people give it a chance- it deserves to succeed. Frankly, I blame CBS for the ratings- it's always a mistake to let a freshmen series lead off the night. "Old Christine" should be leading off IMO- that show built it's own audience last year & could easily kick the night off strong.

A bit of good news for "The Class." Effective immediately, CBS will swap "The Class" timeslot with "How I Met Your Mother."

New schedule...

"How I Met Your Mother": 8:00

"The Class": 8:30

This was the original schedule chosen back at the May upfronts, but for some hare-brained reason, CBS second guessed themselves over the summer and chose to have a new show lead the night.

WOO HOO!!!! I'm glad this show is getting the chance it deserves. I hope it catches on- seems like it's starting. I would think the word of mouth is pretty good. This show should be bringing back the days that "Friends" and "Seinfeld" were discussed around the water cooler, even "Ally McBeal." Glad CBS sees that too & is going with it.

I think the show has really good potential, but there are a couple of things that bug me and I believe might factor in viewers not watching it.

1. There are too many characters. They need to drop the ones that aren't working or aren't as well developed. The most interesting characters are the budding couples: Kat & Ethan, Duncan & Nicole, Lina & Richie. Keep them and phase out some of the others.

2. You feel like your watching 4 different shows in 1. I understand that they are trying to make this show as far from a "Friends" clone as possible, but it's annoying how the characters from one storyline are merely acquaintances/former classmates with characters from other storylines and hardly interact with each other outside a few chance meetings. Maybe I would care more about characters like Holly and Kyle if they had relationships with characters I do like such as Kat and Ethan. Hopefully they're moving more towards that, with Richie working with Duncan as an example. But even then, their stories don't really intersect. The best way to get viewers to care about more of these characters is to have the characters we do love to actually care about the lives of the characters we don't really feel at the moment. And they're not doing that for some reason.

    • ICAM.  KL needed to end in '93.  I'm just glad David Jacobs resisted CBS' efforts to convince him otherwise.

    • Dear Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford,   Please write out the character of Leo Stark. It would be greatly appreciated.   Sincerely, Soapsuds
    • Oh my -- long time ago, huh??  What was the actual storyline? Here's what I recall: Susan was married to David Martin and had his baby, Dickie.  David allowed Dickie to fall off a swing-set or something, and Dickie was killed.  So a distraught Susan shot and killed David.  Julie had been having sex with David Martin, and was pregnant with his child when Susan killed him.  Then Julie named her newborn child David.  And that was really what began the big feud between Susan and Julie.  I KNOW I have a lot of this history wrong -- so anyone please feel free to correct my historical errors.  I would appreciate that very much.   Now back to Denise's Another World connection.  Although I loved Denise as an actress, I was never crazy about Mary McKinnon.  Mostly because of her completely unbelievable introduction -- two back-from-the-dead characters returning in the SAME storyline. It seemed ridiculous, and was just a bit too much for me to accept.  
    • Monday's episode(what was today's before the pre emption) is posted   https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/CAD_kZcynpkzM5vrwPg77Hh5MQD3hTbH/
    • Denise had so much inherent warmth, yet also layered her work with neuroses and emotion, making sure her characters were never as one-dimensional as the writing could have been. She was one of the first high profile poachings from one soap to another, which could have been a recipe for disaster, but she worked hard and turned Lesley into such an integral part of GH's rebuilding. The show may not have survived the '70s without her.  I wish they'd done more with Lesley when they brought her back in 1996. I hope more of Denise's run at DAYS will appear. I enjoyed Denise's work on AW, in a very underwritten part - it felt like she was just hitting her stride in playing the role when she left.  We are losing so many of our legends, but in moments like this I try to just be grateful we had them for as long as we did.  I do feel terrible for those at GH as they've been hit hard the last few years. 
    • Before my time, but besides Lesley, I know many say her work on Days as Susan was fabulous. I saw a clip, when Julie met Doug for the first time (with Susan the one that introduced them as BJ Hunnicutt David Banning was in the background!)... But so much of her work as Susan is not available. May Denise Alexander rest in peace!
    • Oh, no. I came in at the tail end of her Susan Martin run on Days and instantly loved her. I started watching GH because of her, not the Luke & Laura phenom. And though I thought AW wasted her as Mary McKinnon, her talent and charisma was still on full display. Thanks for the memories, Denise. 
    • I didn’t know if you were being serious or not for a second I really feel like the way they’re mixing up who’s interacting with who, a couple of changes to the overall look (lighting, camera angles) and a few actors having changes in hairstyle etc (Naomi and Nicole are the first that comes to mind), there may have been a break in production before this week’s episodes were shot and they’ve reassessed a few things (in particular I noticed the lighting has improved and a lot of my gripes around the makeup - particularly on some of the female cast has also improved - two things which go hand in hand), perhaps some episodes have been edited and moved around to still give the Friday cliffhanger which is why Derek and Ashley were edited out of an episode they were slated to appear in etc. Regardless, this week has been excellent and I’ve noticed the actor who plays Martin is improving and Hayley too - especially given how poorly the Hayley character is written and how her personality / motivation changes from scene to scene.
