    One of the best new sitcoms I've seen in years. I'm so disappointed that they pulled it off the air. Bad time slot, I say, because it was much more entertaining than Til Death and seemed to be for a totally different audience. I'd like to see CBS pick it up and pair it with The Class.

    I thought the show was freaking funny. If it wasn't going against the office it would do better. they should bring it back on.

    I connected with the characters right away. It is hitting a part of the demo that tends to warm up to this kind of thing... remember the show about nothing?

    I loved this show and I'm very disappointed that fox cancelled it. I know the reviews were bad, but fox should be listening to its viewers instead of newspaper critics. Everyone I know loves it!

    It is original and funny with interesting characters. The critics give it a 2.5 and actual viewers give it a an 8 out of 10. That is quite a gap. Personally on this one I think the critics are idiots.

    I loved this show, I was disappointed last night when it wasn't on. This type of humor is right up my alley, I don't expect much from sitcoms, if I have to think too much, then it isn't worth my time.

    I ask everyone to remember Friends' comedy appeared forced in the beginning too. I enjoy this show quite a bit. Beth Lacke is great. If this show was given time I can see each actor growing more comfortable with their character. Too bad Fox appears to have pulled it.

    I think the show is hilarious. You have to have a good sense of humor. I was honestly shocked when I turned Fox on tonight and it wasn't on. Sure, the show only works for a certain age group but let us enjoy it! And they replaced it with RERUNS of Til Death...who wants to watch reruns???? That's a real smart move don't ya think??

    I like the show. It's funny in a un-politically correct kinda way. Sometimes you just want to laugh and be entertained.

    I love this show!!!! I'm sad that it is stacked against Survivor because it's really really funny. Beth Lacke is perfect in her role. I just read that it's from the producers of That 70's Show - no wonder I love it!!

    This show is hilarious! I don't know what those critics are talking about. Oh yeah, that's right, they have to be critics because they have no guts or skill.

    The only funny charecter is Bethe Lacke. The others weren't even given funny lines. Who knows maybe they could be funny if they had better writers. Can't believe this made it to tv.

    I think that Beth Lacke, Amanda makes this show as of now. I am looking forward to the next shows. Hoping that it raises ratings so I can continue to watch it.

    There were a few laughs, but the first two episodes are a tired old version of the same old sit-com, repackaged and fed to us through the beer bong that TV has become. That, plus the ridiculous idea that the characters pictured would agree on the Martini (?) as their chosen group drink is enough to give any level of bar-fly the dry heaves.

    It is actually a pretty funny show. Not the best one I've ever seen, and some of the characters in it are a bit typical, but mostly it is pretty entertaining. Good for a quick laugh.

    The show is bad. The only saving grace is Beth Lacke. Too bad her character wasn't on another show. Hopefully when this gets cancelled in the next few weeks, we'll see her on some mid season replacement show.

    Painfully familiar and virtually laugh-free, the series has one character with potential, but beyond that, it's hard to imagine Fox won't be yelling "last call" relatively soon.

    At least "'Til Death" has some known stars. The cast of "Happy Hour" will likely remain unknown, starring, as they do, in this dud.

    Lacke is the only person, or thing, in "Happy Hour" that made me laugh.
