First Episode of My Big Fat Greek Life - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I liked it, but like many of you think, it needs improvement. But most new shows get better with time and experience. I think it shows promise. I loved the movie and the tv show is quite different from the movie, but I still liked it and i plan to continue to watch it. Andrea Martin is a riot. She's my favorite.

I think the problem with the show is pretty obvious, Nia does not know how to write for tv. It is way different than writing for movies, you have different beats.

Andrea is one of my favoriite Comediennes. She had her own series on CBS in 1987 called "Roxie" a spin-off of Kate & Allie. She played Roxie a Program Director for a struggling New York Station but the series was cancelled after 2 episodes due to a bad timeslot for that year Wednesdays @ 8:00.

She is funny in anything she does

Andrea MArtin was the only highlight of this show for me. It had a few good lines here and there, but I didn't care for it.

I thought the pilot was good. Like all pilot episodes, it does show a need for improvement. Hopefully, this show will be given time find it's footing creatively.

LOL! That was so funny! HEY HEY HEY HEY!!! LOL!

This family reminds me of my family too. Well, at least the eating part. I am a part of a very BIG southern family and they think you aren't happy unless you're eating. If you aren't eating, you must be sad, and you need to eat. If you're happy, you celebrate by, you guessed it, eating. My family isn't all fat though. They just like to eat.

Lol...I'm from Arkansas, where are yall from?

Talking about big meals and stuff. My great grandmother raised 8 kids and didn't know how to cook for a few people. No, whenever granny cooked there would be enough biscuits, fried chicken, beans, and cornbread to feed a freakin' army! You never left granny's house hungry. That's for sure. On the movie when they were having the easter dinner and they had the buffet line with enough food for about 500 people, that totally reminded me of my family! Thanksgiving and Christmas everybody will just bring stuff to eat and set it up buffet style and we'd go through the line, then later, we'd do it all over again.
