Even worse, those ads that proclaim a series to be "the most anticipated" of the season. Oh really? By people who attended the up-fronts, maybe. The premise of the show is so ridiculous, it should have been contained to a movie of the week. I'm glad to see Chi McBride on another show though.

I'm glad to see someone else enjoyed the show as much as I did. And I loved teh quirky sense of humor throughout the episode. I don't know what some people seem to have against it. I love watching shows that are different, which is why I rather enjoy this one. Just because it is different isn't a good enough reason to hate it.

Whoa, I didn't say I didn't like shows that were different. In fact I love shows that are different I watch lost, arrested development(now cancelled because it was different), heroes, etc. I just don't think this one is a good one. An about my critic comment I was refering to critics that just praise a show thats different just because its different who totally overlook the quality of the show and appeal to the audience.

I was really struggling through the first 20 minutes - had that itchy finger waiting to change the channel.

But I gave it a chance and ended up really liking it.

The lead is brilliant - and he's adorable. The dialogue is so poetic, intelligent, and full of great metaphors. This writer obviously excelled in english classes...haha.

Chi McBride is always great. He's a great sidekick.

I'll be giving it another chance now. It'll be interesting to see what else they can do with this show...

Okay, next to Reaper, this is my FAVORITE show of the new season. Well acted, well written, like a fairy tale on crack, but in a good way.

And I LOVE Ellen Greene. She played Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors on both stage and screen, and its good to see her acting again :)

I loved it! Too bad everything has to catch on with the closed minded mainstream to survive on tv. Hopefully one day they will make tv like PPV because I'd be willing to pay money to see this one. Unfortunately I can't say the same for any of the other new shows this season.

Um, I LOVED this show, thankyouverymuch.

VERY original.

It may also be the most aesthetically pleasing and whimsical network series EVER. I LOVE the direction, LOVE the sets, LOVE everything about it.

VERY charming too. For some the starcrossed romance between "the piemaker" (LOVE how they call him that) and "Chuck" may be sickeningly sweet, but it's very sweet for those of us who are sort of romantics.

LOVE EVERYTHING about this show.

INSTANT hit.

INSTANT classic.

It BETTER have won its time slot.

the world NEEDS this show.

      I would put Felicia in the 'small dose' auntie category because she means well, but comes on too strongly at times.  In small doses, she would be a blast to hang out with.. but in anything larger than a small... she would be exhausting. I tend to prefer lower key people than people that are always 'on' all the time.  Those people can veer off into energy vampire status pretty quickly.

      I didn't like the Harry story, but Nazar did have a great introduction. He was probably the highlight of last year.  Now that you mention it, I guess the truly dire stories (Nicole, Harper/Drew/Phil, Nicole) didn't start until summer.

      I pray⏤and I know it's a big prayer⏤that Noel Maxam is somehow able to figure things out budget-wise so we can stop re-dressing existing sets as "new" sets. I know in apartment buildings apartments can generally look the same, but I'm over it on this soap. The last time he was executive producer was in 2011 when the original Horton Town Square was introduced, and we had some other sets get introduced around this time (likely pre-commissioned prior to his election), but I'm trying to have some hope he can pull this off. Let's [finally] see it.

      Definitely not the best of RC's breakdowns. I don't know what it says that I could pick up his trademarks yesterday 30 minutes in without even knowing that he did one. There was something more...quirky/boardstroked...about Dani. Though I love the Dani/Nicole scenes, she was just a little too hip?...which made me think back to the episode when she broke into Bill/Hayley's house. Then watching the episode later on, I saw Hayley was being used as a punchline to the more interesting and relevant Bill/Ted scenes (see you all were just talking about how you hoped they got scenes...one thing this show is great at...what people want on this board...they already have the foresight for it. The reason I feel the DNA test will get mentioned @Cheap21 in more detail). And then poor Anita reduced for the most part propping up an album.    Needless to say, not my favorite RC episode. And since we are in aftermath week, I just smh. And barely worth a rewatch. BUT...was there good for me?    Yes. Thankfully, we still got good aftermath beats regardless of the breakdown.   Like I said, I really like the Dani/Nicole scenes. But I love their dynamic. And I was looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot once the SilkPress storyline hit climax. Quirks aside, it did not disappoint. Dani came in, and she came in fierce for her sister. I loved her attacking Eva. And then her being surprisingly introspective about Nicole due to her own experience. No wonder Nicole reacted to her being self-aware. So did I.    Meanwhile Bill and Ted finally met up. I'm kinda sad that we did not get that sooner given the scenes that played out sidepiece in the background aside. It might have been interesting to see more of their status as non-Duprees coming into the family explored.    And of course I can't leave without mentioning Eva vs SilkPress Sheila which was the highlight. Both of them were giving. And SilkPress was just so cold with it. I did love that Eva finally stopped letting her gaslight her. Sad to see the duo break up. But I did love that she went to Ted. So...the next turn begins.   And speaking of turns...uh oh at Kat and Tomas. I'm sure he won't be staying away from her. So most definitely, Kat vs Eva ain't over. It will be interesting to see how it goes now that most people know that Kat was right all along.

      Nah I enjoyed it much more last year because of the Harry plot that ended during that time. Nazar being introduced and them. But this time it is so lame and nothing I like forward to anymore and I’m one of them long time fans. Of course I would be upset if they would cancel it but maybe take a year off or two and return refreshed

      came across this quote that provides some context: “It’s hard to escape the cultural reach of the Catholic Church when you live in the Western world. It is, for better or worse, one of the load-bearing walls of our civilization. Its influence wafts from the church into the streets of civic life, the courts, the schools, the arts.”

      Yesterday's show:   Can they give Ambyr Michelle the Emmy for supporting actress already?   Truly enjoyed the episode from Leslie and Eva, Eva and Ted, Nicole and Dani to Anita and Nicole.
