Saw it for the first time tonight! What a cute show! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember this being advertised when it was in prime time and I think it was on ABC if I remember correctly. But I never really paid attention to what it was about or didn't want to know. Recently a friend of mine on Facebook mentioned watching it and fortunately my local library had both seasons on DVD. Tonight I watched the first episode and it was completely different than I expected... in a good way!

This show is absolutely adorable! I love the two main characters, Ned and Chuck. They are so cute together! I love how they can't physically touch each other but find ways to make it seem like they're holding hands.

Sorry to sound so sappy, but I never expected this show to be so cute! It's really too bad that it's only two seasons long but sometimes that can be a good thing, I guess. So unfair that it was canceled due to a writer's strike but I'm looking foreword to seeing the rest of the series!

In all honesty, I think it would have been great as a movie because it has that "Tim Burton" feel to it if that makes any sense. Or actually it reminds me a little of "Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium" because it has a kind of magic to it.

Anyway, I've only watched one episode but I love it so far. Just had to share!

Love this show. Watched this during it's original run, the wife and I were bummed when they canceled it.

I enjoyed the show too, Ned & Chuck were a fun couple, I also liked Emerson Cod and Olive.

It's really cute and I remember seeing the ads on ABC, but it's totally different than I expected. I've only watched about three eps so far and I'm looking foreword to seeing the others.

I've seen the pilot just yesterday and I found it adorable too.
Seems to be just the type of shows I love.

Can't wait to see another 1 or 2 eps this evening!

Saw also the second episode, and confirm it is really cute.
I'm a sucker for light fantasy/comedies, and this is really delightful.
I'm really loving everything about it!

Saw it one year ago and absolutely loved it.
I'm in the mood of a rewatch!
