    This is indeed the worst comedy of the new season. 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 CaseyThis is indeed the worst comedy of the new season. The situations are so forced.

    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."    I honestly have no idea what all the hoopla is about.

    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.    … Expand

    Stupid sophomoric writing and totally unlikable and juvenile characters made this painfully excruciating to watch. On top of that the political correct preachiness makes me want ot puke. How this even got on the air is beyond me. How many good shows didn't make the cut so that this piece of garbage could. Very sad.

    I've watched every episode of this show and can honestly say this show is hard to watch. I keep wanting to like this show but just can't. The jokes fall flat and you can almost predict what the joke is going to be about. Predictable, sophomoric and frequently unfunny. The cast is likeable enough but the writing leaves a lot to be desired.

    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.

    It doesn't stretch itself too thin working for laughs, but rather earns them genuinely.

    [Marry Me is] just too much an embodiment of the sitcom usual, and the gender-stereotypes usual, and the network-creativity usual.
