    The Pilot is so much fun. So mature. The characters are very mingled and everyone has a different stereotype: tha bloonde one, tha black one, the gay one, the athlete, the catholic, all this makes the 20 minutes run and you yearn for more. Ashley Tisdale is stunning, amazing. She knows how to do and she does. The all cast is great. Positive point for Diana and George. Mike is handsome andThe Pilot is so much fun. So mature.

    I really loved this series, reminds me a bit of "Friends." I thought they really got it right when choosing a hair salon as scenery. Super recommend !!! Watch you will not regret it.

    I love the pilot. , The cast is very mingled and I think it has potential. The entire cast is in tune and love of Danni and AJ will still yield good scenes, I'm sure of it. I need the next episodes.

    Pilot was okay, I like everybody except Ashley Tisdales character something about her I didn't like but I feel as if they could've found somebody else to take her place this would have been a bit better, the jokes are typical sitcom jokes some of them hit some of them don't, then you got the weird Boston ascents they can be a little overbearing.

    Not sure what the point of this show is, but it didn't work. This feels like something very retro -- a sitcom perhaps designed for a bygone era of TV. This certainly won't help the paltry TBS comedy slate. It lacks compelling characters and a compelling set up and story.

    Not terrible but it's still not the best. The plot is interesting and I think it has potential. The only things that would make the show better is to get rid of the guys' unnecessarily heavy Boston accents or at least make them more subtle, use fewer racist and gay jokes (not that they're offensive, some of them are unnecessary), and stop with the cliches

    I'm surprised at the negative reviews from the 'pros' - but maybe not.

    It's a gentle, warm and funny show - no belly laughs, nothing to write home about, but comfortable and welcoming. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't want comedy to challenge, I want to be amused. I don't take comedy lightly, either, being very picky about what I watch - currently that would be Modern Family    I'm surprised at the negative reviews from the 'pros' - but maybe not.

    Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't want comedy to challenge, I want to be amused. I don't take comedy lightly, either, being very picky about what I watch - currently that would be Modern Family and.... well, that's it.

    After ABC Family pulled Bunheads (for whatever ludicrous planning reason - maybe their tutu's were too tight that week in the planning epartment?) pretty much all I had left of US comedy was cartoon-based (American Dad, Family Guy, Futurama) and Modern Family.

    Until Clipped.

    Maybe it's George Wendt, maybe it's Boston, or maybe it's both, but there will no doubt be those that will compare Clipped to Cheers, and I think that's a shame - this show needs to stand on its own feet to find its niche.

    As it stands, we have the villain, the likeable dumbo, the disillusioned jock, the hot girl, the sassy wisecracker and the gay oracle - I think they have gotten the casting very right.

    The premise, too, of a bunch of old school-mates that all end up doing a job they never envisioned but making the best out of it is good and offers plenty of scope for chuckles going forward.

    And the clown car that is the Doyle Sisters are available for when you need to punctuate with nyuks - although Rita Doyle (Betsy Sodaro) is a standout and deserves to be considered part of the main cast.

    It's early days and I hope the show grows and gets renewed. There are few genuinely nice comedies being made in the US, these days    … Expand

    This show is cute but is completely hamstrung by the ironclad Politically Correct strangle hold paradigm firmly entrenched in the entertainment industry.

    The plots aren't strong.... Yet there are bright spots, mostly in the form of ol' George Wendt, as the shop's (gay) owner, and Lauren Lapkus, who bring some quirk to this stale comedy. [26 Jun 2015, p.55]

    It breaks no new ground and offers viewers only another forgettable--if not unpleasant--half-hour of shtick.

    While neither dialogue nor sitcom tropes could be called fresh, the pilot plays solid, relying on able actors to score under tight direction (James Widdoes).
