TV Land continues its foray into original scripted programming with The Exes, the network's best sitcom effort since "Hot in Cleveland."
-
Its hip replacement is a cast that's been around the block and knows how to act accordingly.
-
Familiar doesn't mean bad, and there's some likable charm here.
-
At the very least, it maintains TV Land's brand as the comfort food of television.
-
It's mediocre, but it's at least pleasantly mediocre.
-
Admittedly, nothing here will make anyone forget "3rd Rock" or "Seinfeld." But watching The Exes after TV Land's "Retired at 35" or "Happily Divorced," it seems reasonable to settle.
-
Johnston, Faison, Knight and Basche have their moments, but more often than not they hammer the jokes home, mugging insufferably as they do so.
-
Nothing terribly inventive here, but it's fairly easy to like the three guys, especially Faison.
-
Watching it, you feel as if you have seen it all before, and will again, until eternity ends.
-
All of these actors are pros when it comes to timing, moving quickly past the worst jokes before you realize how bad they are.
-
It's not very good--hackneyed and medium funny at best. But as sitcom comfort food goes, it's not the worst either.
-
The Exes is New Girl fallen off the back of a truck. [19 Dec 2011, p.44]
-
The Exes feels like a stale Frankenstein sitcom cobbled together with spare parts--by which we mean veteran actors--who made their names on better shows.
-
The Exes is the kind of show you can dump without a second thought.
