To be fair, it had lead-in with 20 mio. viewers: DWTS...

I really liked the pilot: this is first new comedy I'm watching since, well, Will&Grace actually and I liked a lot. Jean Smart, Christina Applegate, even the Camden dude of 7th Heaven-ill-fame was pretty good.

That kissing scene of Sam & friend was hilarious as were all those poeple behaving like she were deaf when hearing Sam doesn't remember anything. LOL!

Sam: Did we have a fight?

Mom: I don't recall...

Sam: I have amnesia - you're just lying. :lol:

I love Christina Applegate and she really has matured into quite an actress. I thought this was going to be a flop like Emily's Reasons to Why Not... but it was so much better! The writing was funny, it has a nice little mystery element to it, and a very talented cast. Love Jean Smart as her nutty mom.

Yes, I LOVED this show. About time ABC puts a comedy on that's enjoyable to watch and doesn't have some silly plot like Caveman or Carpoolers or any of the other ones they tried to dish out in the past 2 years or so. (Though Big Day and Notes from the Underbelly were good shows.)

Christina Applegate was excellent in it, and I loved seeing Barry Watson too. (Makes me think of What About Brian, lol. :( )

I loved the scene when she was at the AA meeting & the little dress (oh my god, do i have a little girl?). I'm so glad it did well.

    • Seems like the Dobsons were aiming for a Joe/Sara/Justin triangle or, having decided that Joe would be killed off, Justin would be waiting in the wings. But that never came to pass and I don't think there was much reference to Justin/Sara as time went on.That was something that could have been used later on but Doug Marland may not have known or cared. Also, when the show went to an hour they could add a lot of characters and not rely on the stalwarts, hence Jackie/Alan/Elizabeth. And after Leslie died, Mike went into Dad mode with Hope. Hope/Ben never took off and Hope was replaced and then dropped and Ben moved on to Eve, whose romance with Tim fizzled and Jordan Clarke left (by choice?)

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
