    Hilarious. My husband thinks so to. It's a 9 because there are moments when the writing falls flat, but JLD is perfect for the character.

    I really enjoy this show. I rarely watch t.v., but happened upon this while lurking around on cbs online. I haven't seen every episode, but I try to catch up on missed episodes online through cbs innertube.

    It's a pretty witty show. I haven't seen all of the episodes. But, the writing is good and JLD is just fun to watch. It's earned a spot on my DVR!!

    Thought this show was very funny and a good fit after Two and a Half Men. Makes for a very funny hour on CBS.

    I missed the premiere night of two episodes, so only saw the third, and enjoyed it very much. Every new show needs a little time to gel, and I have very high hopes for this one. It's so nice to see Julia back in a vehicle where she can shine.

    I started watching because I liked the relationship between Christine and Burton. It was quirky and cute. If Burton doesn't come back as a regular I'll probably give up on the show - it doesn't appear he will since he is not even listed in IMDB under the show, or on CBS.

    My Tivo is down to only one sit com now...and this is it. Hilarious show. Julia is such a crack-up, and don't get me started on Wanda Sykes!

    Ok so I've only seen 2 shows so far, but I have to say I laughed out loud several times tonight while watching them.. This show may just make it. It's much better than her last show for sure and I like the fact that they seem to have already introduced some slightly kooky characters like the girl with the thick glasses.

    I was surprised how funny it was. It kept my attention from the beginning. The 2nd episode was just as good.

    Really funny. I even knew some of the lines that were coming, and still laughed out lous when they were delivered. You just have to laugh at this gal - she's got the right attitude, the right style, and the right pizzaz. Comedy is all timing. And her timing is great. Hope some moron at the network doesn't give this show the axe.

    Its good to have Julia back. Though, much of the script is hilarious, I feel it is a little forced. The supporting cast (aside from the new boyfriend Burton and Wanda) needs a little charge; her ex bugs. Wanda and Julia work well together. It would be nice to see them throwing lines more often. As for the shows premise, its good to see something that pertains to todays families; the Its good to have Julia back. Though, much of the script is hilarious, I feel it is a little forced.

As for the shows premise, its good to see something that pertains to todays families; the single mom. Those that are naysaying about "another show about single women or a woman trying to make it in a mans world" obvisiously didn't watch the premier or any of the other episodes and have never gone through the struggle of everyday life as such. Isn't that what single moms and women in general have to deal with on a daily basis anyway? How to juggle the two; family/ work and still raise decent well behaved (and informed) kids fit for society. If written correctly, issues addressed within the show can encourage discussion about the sensitive subjects; how to handle them, what to do and not do. I like it!… Expand

    JLD is a revelation in this series. I think she firmly establishes herself among the very top television comediennes of all time.

    While this could be funny, over the first three episodes the show is as confused as the star seems to be about her character's perfect hair (the style is different in nearly every scene).

    Louis-Dreyfus reaffirms her talents for playing exasperation and physical awkwardness. Christine stumbles repeatedly, but Louis-Dreyfus soars.

    One of the best conventional half-hours to come along in a while.
