    It may improve with time, but for now,the show was generic. Jokes are forced into the dialogue as if there were a quota to meet. Jokes should materialize at their own rate with more emphasis on storyline.

    Not the best, or even close to it. But better than some of the stinkers that the networks have foisted off on us lately. Part of the problem with any new situation comedy is that for the first episode or two you're too busy establishing the situation to develop much comedy. Kohan and Mutchnick are capable of better than this, however, so I doubt I'll be watching this regularly Not the best, or even close to it.

    A touch of "Friends" with "Odd Couple" undertones.

    [A] generic dud.

    Given how familiar the premise is, the show's modest appeal hinges entirely on the cast's marginal chemistry and the rapid-fire jokes, making for at best a hit-miss proposition.
