    I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with this new show. Just watched the pilot and it was excruciating. I want that 30 minute piece of my life back.

    Awful. The ugly step brother of Modern Family. Terrible characters, bizarre storylines. Just dreadful.

    The pilot felt much longer than it actually was. This won't be on my watch list thats for sure.

    This is the most stupidest show ever. What's with all the sexual stuff? This is not a comedy for prime time. I'll never watch this show. Just like Two and Half Men (thank goodness that one is over with), this show sucks big time. I give it a big FAT ZERO. Who thought this up? They should be fired and never allowed to work again in TV. Send them to the porn channel if you must. And I'm noThis is the most stupidest show ever. What's with all the sexual stuff? This is not a comedy for prime time. I'll never watch this show.

    I just sat through the pilot for this show. I was underwhelmed. It wasn't a sitcom based upon humor, it was a sitcom based upon awkward situations. It wasn't funny, it was cringe-worthy.

    For now, I'm going to leave it on the DVR to record each week, I plan to watch a couple more episodes to see if the humor picks up, Hopefully it will pick up a bit as the actors get more    I just sat through the pilot for this show.

    Absolutely one of the worst shows on TV. This makes The dreaded Goldburgs look good which is difficult to do. The dialogue is just God awful with predicable reactions. It's like this sitcom is trying to bash you in the head with "here's how real families are!" We get it, it's called Modern Family minus the laughs. I mean, seriously, even the cute little girl spews out non-believableAbsolutely one of the worst shows on TV. This makes The dreaded Goldburgs look good which is difficult to do.

We get it, it's called Modern Family minus the laughs. I mean, seriously, even the cute little girl spews out non-believable adult lines which come off unrealistic. Brolin looks like he's asleep, and Diane Weiss is a major talent gone to waste with this show. I'd be shocked if this goes another season.… Expand

    I found this show to be a little boring and not very funny. It felt way longer than 30 minutes. Don't think I'll continue watching this one. I don't see how so many people find it hilarious. To each their own!

    Descriptions cannot convey the crispness of the writing, and the surprising chemistry that’s already in place among a group of actors with widely differing styles of comedy. Credit writer Justin Adler and director Jason Winer for coming up with an atmosphere and look for Life In Pieces that unifies, rather than fractures, the show.

    The cast is stacked, the timing is jaunty, the jokes are good, especially for a pilot.... And yet the show is still four shows jammed into one, with each segment almost entirely self-contained. The series feels neurotically aware of all the other things you could be doing instead of watching it.

    It's a finish [several seemingly disjointed stories are brought together by the end of the episode] more sitcommy than the show seems to call for, but one not weak enough to upset the balance of funny and heartfelt that made me want to see a bit more, even if it was just for the pleasure of this company.
