  1. It features gunfire, bad dialogue, more gunfire and me wondering why Terry O’Quinn keeps signing on to losers like this after winning an Emmy for his work on “Lost.”
  2. Elfman’s character brings back her imaginary friend, Mary, from her childhood to help her deal. Mary, voiced by Rachel Dratch, is not funny, just annoying, extremely so.
  3. The punchlines are predictable, with jokes about weight, graying hair and sexting.
  4. It's more video game, than TV drama.
  5. The humor is low-brow and juvenile.
  6. The trouble is they are just normal--and not very funny.
  7. This is a formulaic, laugh-track comedy that wastes the talents of its actors--Katey Sagal is a sharp-tongued Chicago cop--who deliver inane, see-them-coming-from-a-mile-away one-liners.
  8. It’s poorly written with a bunch of things happening in the pilot that just don’t make sense.
