    Great pilot episode! I haven't been as excited for a sitcom since "Happy Endings" which Zach coincidentally starred in. I especially like the characters played by him and Becki but Meera looks to be a breakout. They all - minus Becki - did a hilarious scene near the end by ad-lip-syncing a couple's wedding vows. Sharply funny stuff. Great writing and directing, at least in the pilot. JustGreat pilot episode! I haven't been as excited for a sitcom since "Happy Endings" which Zach coincidentally starred in.

    Surprisingly low score for a potentially fantastic show! Each character is purely individualistic and they all mesh really well. NO LAUGH TRACK either...that's a huge plus! I saw a review asking what the point of the show is...It's to ENTERTAIN you and give you an escape from reality as per the reason television was invented. You don't have to learn something with every TV show. SometimesSurprisingly low score for a potentially fantastic show! Each character is purely individualistic and they all mesh really well.

You don't have to learn something with every TV show. Sometimes you just need a good 25 minutes away from everything and laugh with fictional characters. I hope this continues to air!… Expand

    I am glad i came across this pilot show by accident. It's a warm and fuzzy comedy. Not laugh out loud, but will keep you smiling. The end of the pilot episode was very funny though. I think this is gonna be a good one.

    I really like this show. It's refreshing. I think it's well written and they did a great job finding the right actors. A lot funnier than some of the other comedies out there right now.

    Fox's new sitcom Weird Loners hates its characters to an almost pathological degree. .... The show feels like bullying.

    Creator Michael Weithorn (“The King of Queens”) effortlessly pulls Weird Loners past the usual pilot-episode blues to deliver a single-camera show that is harmlessly offbeat and even fun to watch (with something of a “Happy Endings” vibe), thanks to a cast that clicks instantly.

    Beyond its thin premise, Weird Loners fares best when it digs deeper, having Stosh help Caryn out with an older relative, or exploring the childhood history between Stosh and Eric.
