Default "Listen Up" Premiere

Ohh god this show sucked.
Throughout the entire show, I was truly feeling sorry for Jason Alexander (and to a lesser extent Malcolm Jamal-Werner). This was terrible.
I did however find it funny that the wife is played by the red-headed nun from "Sister Act"
besides that, complete bummer.
I hope Center of the Universe is better.

except I didn't really feel bad for Jason. He has a producer's credit so he's partly to blame too. But once it was over, I said "the curse continues"

haha, I liked Watchie Ellie, that wasn't too bad.
I never saw The Michael Richards Show
and as for Bob Patterson -- I enjoyed it 10 times better than this.

I like the first season of Watching Ellie, but I watched the second season premiere, which was "new and improved" and it was RANCID. It magically became just like every other sitcom on the air, only not as funny. The uniqueness the first season had was evaporated.

Another bland, family sitcom. The soccer song was an all time low Jason.

Wendy Makenna, who plays Jason's wife was much better in another short lived FOX show that shouldn't have been cancelled "Oliver Beane." She's just wasted here.

Oh, a note to all family sitcoms; can we please move away from the "pissy teenage daughter who's embarrased by her family" cliche?

It's getting a bit stale.

Better luck next time Jason.

I think this show is pretty good. It's no Seinfeld but decent enough. I hope it does last.
