does anybody like Listen Up? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

APPLEI · 11-09-2004, 01:28 AM

i watched three episodes and i thought it was flat and unentertaining.
i was wondering if somebody ... anybody liked this show?

ricardo/mertz · 11-11-2004, 09:21 PM

I like it. Except I think the daughter is too much of a smart mouth. She talks awful to her dad and she doesn't get in trouble for it. That just shows a total lack of respect. And the wife kind of sides in with the daughter.
Other than that, I love Jason Alexander and Malcolm Jamal Warner.(hope I spelled that right)

ptcruiserfan2004 · 11-15-2004, 09:29 PM

I like it, too. Jason Alexander is one of my faves.

cliffclaven · 11-21-2004, 01:04 AM

I think its awful, no flow. No chemistry between Jason and his wife or Malcolm either.

Who's playing his wife anyway? She cant act.

Does anyone know how its ranked in the ratings?

Looks like another dud for the Seinfeld alumni!

ricardo/mertz · 11-21-2004, 11:49 AM

The wife's real name is Wendy Makkena. Her bio is on CBS.com.
I don't care much for her either. I want this show to work cuz I like Jason.

I don't like this show, saw 1 episode, then turned off the tv

Eddie Haskell · 01-19-2005, 04:41 AM

The first few episodes were dull and if it weren't for the shows that surround it, I wouldn't have watched anymore episodes.

But..........it seems to be getting better as time goes by and Jason Alexander doesn't seem to be trying so hard, which is a good thing.

IMO, the best character on the show is the kid playing the son.

The woman playing Alexander's wife reminds me of a young Marlo Thomas.

ricardo/mertz · 01-20-2005, 05:56 PM

I agree, the son is the best one. I could do w/o that smartbutt daughter.

Stormtracker TF · 01-29-2005, 10:07 PM

It's a cool show, my favorite is the son too. He's funny.

etan16 · 01-31-2005, 10:24 PM

I think its a good show, pretty funny. It's got two of some of the greatest sitcom actors of all time.

Steve M. · 02-05-2005, 12:30 AM

It's okay, and I love Malcolm Jamal Warner, and he and Jason Alexander work well together, but do we have to have a dumb son? And yes, Megan is too unruly. But at least Tony Kleinman is a dad who isn't necessarily a schmuck.

Mr. Television · 02-05-2005, 12:40 AM

I only saw a few episodes but it isn't to bad. I wouldn't race home to watch it but if I had the channel tuned to it I'd watch it.

Samme · 02-16-2005, 08:44 PM

I hated the show at first, but now I gotta
admit I'm starting to like it. Either Jason
is relaxing more or I'm just getting used
to all the characters, but I think they're
all funny. It seems to be turning into a
pretty good show. I like watching it now.

robyrob · 02-20-2005, 12:07 PM

i like the actors, just not in this show - its a mess.

rusyd · 03-14-2005, 10:05 PM

I liked the show right from the start. At first it was a little slow,but it has gotten better each time I watch it.
