The Big House had a disappointing 3.8/7, lower than Married to the Kellys average. Hopefully next week it does better with Reginald VelJohnson and Jo Marie Payton of Family Matters fame guest starring.

wow! i cant believe it was that low...like pavanbadal said, hopefully next week more people will tune in.

I liked the show. It's too bad the ratings weren't better, especially as much as they've promoted it. Pavanbadal, I'd also be interested in knowing the numbers for George Lopez to see how much of a drop-off of audience, if any, there was.

I think George Lopez got a 4.3/8, much lower than it usually does. Maybe Dateline stole the audience or the return of Joan of Arcadia, it didn't air the last two weeks, because of NCAA Basketball.

From what I saw this show has potential. It's funny and it has some heart, but here in NYC the critics trashed it mercilessly. Also, putting this on Fridays is a bad idea. A lot of people don't stay home to watch TV on Friday night, especially now that spring is here. I have a feeling this is going to get axed after 6 shows.

One quesion: Who is Faizon Love in this show? He is way older than Kevin Hart and too old to be the son of Arnetia Walker and her husband on the show. He must be at least 35 in real life.

It's not going to do any better because it's spring time and the show comes on friday night and well you know the rest.

You read the Daily News? I was expecting something real bad just readin that guy's review and the show was nowhere near as bad as he made it out to be. That same critic also gave the Tracy Morgan show one of the most horrible reviews I ever read. The Big House was fine to me.

TRACY MORGAN and the Big House is not record material

Hey Vashti:

I read the Daily News and The Post reviews. Both hated the show, but it's not so bad from what I saw. These critics have a select taste that is lacking in flava if you know what I mean. They praise stuff like Frasier and Friends and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, shows that they can relate to. Many a show that the critics didn't like have succeeded. The problem with this is that its on Friday night. I bet it gets cancelled. But maybe UPN will adopt it.

Well that's not true about critics all the time. The crtics LIKED That's My Mama back in September of 1974 and you know what ABC did to that show a year later.

Hey Solomon:

What did the critics say about That's My Mama? I have only a vague memory of that show rom 74-75. I don't know if it got bad ratings or if ABC just threw it out?

Well THat's My Mama never was in the top 30. But the TV critic liked the show. He said that

1.The location of the Show was a good location-Washington D.C

2.The women who played Mama was a Fine actress.

3.The Daughter on the show was a very attractive and independent women.

4.THe characters of the show handled situations with taste and tact
