    I love this show! It is both funny and sweet with relatable characters I care about, even after only two episodes. The chemistry among the characters works with apparent real affection. Some have complained about the laugh track but I didn't even notice it. Even with an acerbic sister character, the overall tone of the show is one of clear affection among the characters.

The acting is good. The writing is good. The timing and pace are good. The show is very good. I laughed, a lot!… Expand

    Absolutely love this show. It's so funny and it gets funnier every episode. So glad they picked the actors/actresses they did, they're all wonderful!

    I am from South Africa and I only recently heard of "One Big Happy" when Ellen DeGeneres spoke about it and played a small clip on her show. After watching the first episode I was hooked. I absolutely loved it. I watched all 6 episodes that were aired, in one go, and I am very sad to hear that the show has been cancelled. I don't think there was one moment where I was bored.

I thought it was super funny and I always had a smile on my face while watching. I loved every moment, the story line ,the humour, the cast, the jokes, all of it.

    [A] thoughtfully lighthearted and frothy comedy.

    One Big Happy is a loud, frantic sitcom so eager to please, you may want to avert your eyes.

    Feldman and her writers are so obsessed with making One Big Happy socially righteous--Lizzy announces her gayness with the frequency of an undercover straight person--that they forgot to give it any heart.
