    I went back to watch the premier episode of Cheers after watching the first episode of Abby's, hoping to come to some understanding of why I liked a bar show from thirty years ago, but not this new one. Cheers had heart. It was a show about a bunch of lovable losers, and they were lovable. The characters on Abby's are losers, but I did not find anything lovable about them.

    Snarky little sitcom that should be better than it is. Characters are weak and the writing is weaker! Can’t judge the acting because they have so little to work with. Producers should be firing most of the writing staff for lack of creativity.

    Take all the sad, one-dimensional sitcom characters you don’t care about and let them get blasted in someone’s backyard. That’s it!

    I wanted to like it but I couldn't. Not a very well family oriented television show - maybe the producer(s) needs to talk to someone about their past. #1 the added Laugh Tracks were outrageously annoying. Go back and watch it again if you don't believe me. You have an alcoholic father / husband played by Neil Flynn who states that he is there at least 5 hours per night 7 days a week - NiceI wanted to like it but I couldn't.

You have an alcoholic mother who would rather drink then spend time taking care of her family. Draw your own conclusions - degeneration of society… Expand

    This show sucks, completely turned off by their somewhat or not so somewhat subtle political jabs at the right and all the liberal B.S. going on in this country. Why can't a Sitcom JUST BE Funny or Entertaining without bringing in someones b.s. agenda. Show won't last.

    Abby's doesn't quite show us why it deserves the same kind of attention as ODAAT or any of Schur's other shows. It exists, it's pleasant, and it's good to throw on if you want to turn your brain off for a bit.

    Early wobbliness aside, Abby’s is not a show to dismiss. There is so much potential in its creators and cast (Neil Flynn is so good as Fred), and even though its experiment doesn’t seem to have come together quite yet, there is a well-established history of comedies like this that have taken some time to find themselves.

    The first impression of Abby’s is one as enticingly unrefined as its central setting. Sitcoms are often acquired tastes; this one just so happens to be reminiscent of the rare exception that tasted good from the very first drop. And while it doesn’t have everyone around the bar figured out, the sight of Morales so at home on a show with her name in the title is worth raising a glass to.
