Living With Fran is a Good show... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I watched both episodes of LIVING WITH FRAN on Friday. It was pretty good. I had high hopes for the show. It really looked good. The first episode I didnt think quite impressed me much. Was good, but i think I knew so much about it that to me it wasnt so much funny. But when I saw the second episode I was real impressed. The show met and maybe exceeded expectations. I look forward to seeing more episodes. I also think that the show should consider bringing Riley's parents on permanetly, it worked real well and sets the show up for more laughs.

I'm so jealous,I haven't got the show here in Australia,DAMN.I really wanted to see it,hopefully Australia will get it.It all depends on how the ratings are in the US.

The ratings are actually pretty good. That block of Fran they showed I think it was a few Fridays ago did pretty well, placing 81st and 100th. Which are pretty good for a WB show.

Yeah, Living with Fran seems to be doing well, especially placed with REBA. REBA usually recieves in ratings terms a 3.0. This past Friday REBA had 2.9, Living with Fran keeps most the audience, scoring a 2.4 this past Friday, Which is really good. If the ratings stay in the 2.0 area Im sure we will keep seeing Fran for awhile.

Well I hope Australia gets it.I am a Fran fan and cant wait to see what shes been up to.

I too live in Australia, and I downloaded the 3rd Episode (the one with the dude who played Mr Sheffield) it was alright. Problem for Australians though is judging by the credits the NINE Network will have the rights to the show and their treatment of sitcoms has been nothing short of shabby lately. If only TEN (who have the rights to THE NANNY) had the rights to this!

NINE!

Damn. I wish it was ten. Nine shows the exact same episodes of shows all the time (I've seen that episode where Frasier and his new girlfriend, Niles&Daphne and Martin go on that Carribean holiday about 1000 times!!!) Not to mention that, but they seem to just suddenly take some of their shows off the air with no warning (Two and a half men comes to mind...)

Don't get me statrted on channel 9! The amount of times they said they will show Frasier is pathetic! Channel 7 isn't mush better - The Will & Grace episode - FYI: I hurt too, they cut soo much out of it that it didn't even make any sense.

Question - Where can I download an episode of Living with Fran??

I'm actually enjoying this show much more than I thought I would. There's a nice dynamic between Fran and her boy toy even if his acting skills are a bit questionable. I like the oldest son. The daughter is supposed to be snarky, but I'm not feeling it. One thing though, FD really needs to tone down her trademark annoying way of talking. Sometimes it seems worse than the Nanny.

I know what you mean.As much as I like Fran,it seems like her voice is sounding more unbearable now than it was on The Nanny.I've seen Fran now on Jay Leno,and on The View and her voice sounds horrible,its almost too much to listen to.
