I wanted to watch another couple episodes after I saw the pilot. As bad as the pilot was, the subsequent episodes I watched were worse. The writing is poor, the premise is worse, and even Ms Heaton can't make up for that. No matter how hardI wanted to watch another couple episodes after I saw the pilot. As bad as the pilot was, the subsequent episodes I watched were worse. The writing is poor, the premise is worse, and even Ms Heaton can't make up for that. No matter how hard she tries. It is difficult to determine whether the supporting characters are suitable for the roles they play, as they seem to be over-acting to make up for the poor writing. If the producers really think this show is as funny as they try to project via the laugh track, then I'd say that someone might as well seek an alternate career opportunity.… Expand

Not good. Unfunny, laugh track is terrible, jokes about old people, they have an older doctor there who seems to do nothing but be a love interest for the old doctor. Sterotypical cast. Nothing funny. Too much competition from cable forNot good. Unfunny, laugh track is terrible, jokes about old people, they have an older doctor there who seems to do nothing but be a love interest for the old doctor. Sterotypical cast. Nothing funny. Too much competition from cable for this to be even remotely interesting. Too bad. Heaton was great in THE MIDDLE.… Expand

Nice to see Patricia Heaton back in action, but I actually think this show is beneath her. She's almost too strong of a presence against a sitcom that spawns too many weaknesses.

She's almost too strong of a presence against a sitcom that spawns too many weaknesses. The humor seems forced and the episodes in general appear to be a little too over rehearsed for my liking. It just got boring after a few episodes, which signifies a grim future for this show, in my opinion. It's also incredibly unrealistic. People don't act like that in a hospital, trust me, I've been in a few!!… Expand

The acting is over the top, the characters are caricatures. There is nothing entertaining about this pathetic attempt to be funny. It would be more effective if the actors squirted each other with seltzer and threw pies while falling to the ground. Any possible talent is completely wasted reading a script that is less than sophomoric.… Expand

I've watched each episode so far in order to give it a fair chance. I really want to like it but haven't been able to find enough reasons to. Heaton is pretty good and a refreshing change of pace from her previous roles. However theI've watched each episode so far in order to give it a fair chance. I really want to like it but haven't been able to find enough reasons to. Heaton is pretty good and a refreshing change of pace from her previous roles. However the supporting cast, especially the other interns, are unimpressive. The one liners are weak but the worst thing of all is the horrendous laugh track....ruins the show for me. One highlight is Dennis, the nurse, and I think they would make major improvements by adjusting the rest of the supporting cast and getting rid of the laugh track. I'll watch through a few more episodes to see if it improves but I don't have high expectations it will at this rate.… Expand

I have watched all episodes so far I was so wanting this to be good. I think the story line could be funny. From Patricia Heaven to Lucas NeFF and especially Jean luc Bilodeau do not know how to deliver funny lines they are forced andI have watched all episodes so far I was so wanting this to be good. I think the story line could be funny. From Patricia Heaven to Lucas NeFF and especially Jean luc Bilodeau do not know how to deliver funny lines they are forced and predictable. I wanted this to be good but it’s not, the only bright spot is the one actress I didn’t know before now Ito Aghayere. I think her character comes across believable and smooth her arrogance seems genuine to the show. Am very disappointed.… Expand
