It has a bad cheesy vibe and the two lead actors overact. The premise has potential but it's being managed by producers and directors who are no longer relevant. Kelsey and Patricia are has-beens and the latter one can't even act.

Oh, and didn't NBC try this already with "Good Morning Miami," which actually wasn't too bad.

It may and it may not, we shall see.

It will premiere well. It launches a week before the actual season and won't have any competition. Then the week after it will drop obviously...question is how much? Dancing with the Stars will be up against it for week 2 of BTY, then the new drama Pushing Daisies on ABC, which is fantastic, will start week 3 of BTY.

It may not be a ratings blockbuster, but I do hope that it will do well enough to stick around awhile.

I think Back to you will get Big Ratings in the 7:00 pm CT Time Period on Wednesday evening

I know a lot of people who are looking forward to this show. Grammer and Heaton are both top-notch, multiple Emmy award-winning actors who starred in extremely successful, long running shows.

Yeah, this show has everything going against it.

Skywalker · 08-11-2007, 04:24 PM

The only thing this show has going against it is it's on FOX. They don't have the best track record with sitcoms and they've cancelled more promising sitcoms than probably any other network in the past 10 years.

You hit the nail on the head right there my friend. I think this show is different though, because...

1. It's all star cast and crew

2. Fox already committed at least 13 episodes

Scoobiedoo30 · 08-11-2007, 04:46 PM

I belive that 13 episodes last untul Mid season right

good question, I am not sure considering that Fox airs the playoffs in October.

I don't think that really has anything to do with. There were many shows with an allstar cast that were'nt exactly ratings blockbustters. Look at 8 Simple Rules. That had 2 sitcom veterans, John Ritter and Katey Sagal, just like BTY, but that usually ranked around 30th-40th place each week. I think it depends on who actually wants to see it.

Mr. Television · 08-11-2007, 05:26 PM

What it does have going for it is that it's up against 2 new series...the big drawback though is that the other 3 series are 60 minutes and if you make a commitment to BTY then you're also stuck with Til Death or join another show in progress.

tbswatcher · 08-11-2007, 05:31 PM

I'll watch to see what it's like but I probably won't like it so it only really leaves The Simpsons and Don't Forget the Lyrics to watch.
