    This is the worst show I have ever seen. We can't even watch it on mute, while waiting for LOST to start. Yank this show! ITS TERRIBLE!!!!

    The show started at about a 6-7 but kept improving to a point it's got a 9 for me and my family. It was good enough for my 12 year old and 21 year old and us 40 something parents. The characters range evolved expanded and they reparte between Brian A. Green and Freddie Prinze is a delight.

    This is great because it hits to the heart of hispanic stereotypes. Hopefully it will stick around so we can all get a chance to watch this show blossom.

    I Thought this is a great show and has some real funny lines in it. It has a very important message to it that family comes first even if they do take advantage of freddie alot, Freddie prinze jr is a great actor and this show is good for the whole family

    how does this sh!t stay on the air and Arrested Development gets canceled? Who the hell thinks this crap is funny? I gave it a chance, since it was on before LOST, but honestly, this show offers nothing remotely entertaining or funny. Plus, the set looks like a high school play. If there is one more sitcom about 30-or-so-year-old singles living in the city, I'm going to track down how does this sh!t stay on the air and Arrested Development gets canceled?

    I love Freddie! It does lack something though. I wish there could be different writing or something. I could be a really great show. Freddie is a very likeable character.

    I probably was unlucky enough to catch this before Lost and thankfully only the last part of it, but wow... Insultingly bad. It's so painful to watch most sitcoms just clawing for laughs and this is definitely bottom of the barrel stuff. If it lasts the season it's only a testament to how bad 95% of television is.

    The show was funny but the plot was stupid, and I didn't laugh out loud once. Kind of dumb.

    I thought it was an intelligent version of the form. It had some edge, and it was really funny.

    I liked the comedy and likeable characters, it frequently made me laugh out loud, it's true its not very deep etc but who needs deep all the time? what's wrong with just laughing occassionally?! I am from the UK and so came to this show later than most but I am very dissapointed that we wont be getting a second season!

    In the age where the average multi-camera sitcom makes me cringe, Freddie is not half bad. I admit, I am in love with Freddie Prinze, Jr as a person; but generally speaking, I haven't like any of his movies since the House of Yes. "Freddie" seems much more reflective of his real, charming personality. Some may criticize that as too easy, but sometimes it better to keep the In the age where the average multi-camera sitcom makes me cringe, Freddie is not half bad.

    I LOVE THIS SHOW !! Freddie and the cast work great together. I look forward to watching it and with Tamara Braun coming on board it can only get better. Keep up the good work Freddie and please do not listen to the bad press, especially Patal M. This person has issues and needs to grow up. Kelly

    When it comes to Freddy, he's sort of funny and a charmer and it has some very funny lines in it as well. However, where there should be histarical laughs and absoloutley loveable characters like Everybody hates Chris, there's a deep, dark, endless whole.

    All the major networks now resemble the same out-of-touch, self glorifying, and idiotic values as our own U.S. Government. These pathetic attempts at comedy couldn't even squeeze real chuckles from a live audience under the effects of laughing gas. Come to think of it, the retarded ramblings of George Bush actually garner more giggles than this crap.

    I think Id rather watch what I leave behind in an outhouse for 30 minutes than watch this pile.

    The best aspect of "Freddie" is that it makes an earnest attempt to depict a loving, supportive Latino family. You want to spend time with them, but only if the writers put as much sizzle into the scripts as Freddie does in his beloved recipes.

    Freddie is a series of collisions -- between generations, sexes, ethnicities and perhaps most of all between youthful Latin macho and imperious Latin matriarchy in the struggle to rule the house.
