    What could be just eye candy with two of America's most beautiful stars in Rebecca Romijn and Brooke Burns instead offers unexpected and charming physical comedy. The stars are still beautiful but Romiin's Pepper Dennis is hilarious. The rest of the cast is strong and winning. Pepper Dennis is a winner.

    As TV viewing goes, this is entertaining. She's great to watch, it's a little quirky and I began to wonder how the characters would flesh out as I liked several.

    My wife and I watched this tonight and loved it. Finally, some smart, fresh, funny writing. Rebecca Romijn has natural comic timing. The rest of the cast was genuinely, suprisingly likeable. Looking forward to more!

    I Love it! I think it is a great show with likeable characters and quirky humor. The WB hit the mark with this one! The critics need to get a grip, this show is entertaining... I didn't expect much from Robecca Romijn but I think she does a spectacular job.. I hope it stays on the air for many years...

    OK, I'll step up and say that I enjoyed this first episode of this show. Brooke Burns is great in her role as comic relief, and Romijn is not as bad as you might think. Most important, I laughed my ass of during this show. Belly laughs, not snickers as with Gilmore Girls.

    I watch the show religiously and find it very amusing. The idea of Rebecca Romijn in a comedy took some getting used to but once you do it is great! I think this show appeals more to women and unfortunately all the critics quoted are guys who cant accept Rebecca Romijn's fall from 'femme fatale' dom.

    Go figure that the critics would be critical! Any time a truly funny show comes on the tube they quash it because it's not "original." Wake up Hollywood - originality went out the door years ago! If I can find a show that's going to make me laugh, I'll watch it. I'll be watching "Pepper Dennis."

    Not very impressed with this show. Super disappointed that Related was dropped and this show replaced it. The acting is "average" at best and the dialog is slow and boring. Humor is a little dry... My husband was excited to watch (because of Rebecca) but soon had no interest in the show. She's much more impressive with limited verbal acting and blue paint - she should stick to those roles...

    The cast is pleasant enough, and Romijn certainly tackles her character with the abandon and conviction necessary to anchor a comedy-drama series. Were the show better written, these actors probably could deliver the goods with no problem.
