    Marry Me starts off annoying and unlikable and rarely dips from that, even though fans of Happy Endings will no doubt tune in for star Casey Wilson and for that show's creator, David Caspe, who also created this one.

    We don’t dislike Annie or Jake. It’s just really hard to imagine where else Marry Me could go from here, and harder to imagine why we would care.

    I honestly have no idea what all the hoopla is about. The show is sooooo NOT funny, I can't begin to tell you how the jokes fall flat.

    The show comes off real corny too in what seems to me as obvious attempts exploiting current political correctness. The 2 gay dads just seem thrown in and only "just because." On top of which they have to be interracial too, and seems so " just because."

    Now, I'm a gay black dude who's dated blacks and whites and browns and also in betweens. I have nothing against gay dads or dudes or inter-racialism, and I have nothing against the lesbians either. (Yes, there is a lesbian character thrown in "just because.")

    But I do have something against what seems to me as pandering. Obvious pandering. Just because gay marriage and rights are in the news, they've thrown in 2 gay dads. To make it seem more edgy, seemingly, the dads are interracial.

    I'm pleased to see more gays today on tv and in film. But the gay thing isn't a fad.

    And even if I could suck up to the pandering, I could not get a laugh. The show is just not funny.

The situations are so forced. The first ten minutes of the first show was entirely unbelievable. Also adding to the show's problems is that the show annoyingly and blatantly politically correct...the Casey Wilson character has two dads who also happen to be interracial! Memo to TV producers...Please don't preach to me! I love Casey Wilson and she deserves a show with good writing. Full Review »
