I think Roommates is going to be a grate Sitcom for ABC Family

Looks a little bit like Big Bang Theory-meets-What I Like About You.

Reminds me of "Saved by the Bell - The College Years" and we all know how long that lasted!

Meh.

This should get good series premiere numbers thanks to the season finale of Secret Life. Sure, it will fall the following week, but this will appeal to the audience that ABC Family is targeting.

awesome, loving the advert, i think its more big bang meet friends meet saved by the bell, wow what a show lol, well worth a watch, if i can find somewhere to watch it in the uk

rosered · 03-03-2009, 05:21 PM

Yeah, if you think about it ABC Family doesnt really have any sitcoms, only dramadies really so i think this is a good addition to their line up. And i agree that the premiere will get good ratings cause of the Secret Life finale but i think it will appeal to a slightly different, maybe wider audience then Secret Life, more early 20s/recent college grads...

Good comparison to the Big Bang Theory, i also got How I Met Your Mother from the commercial, and i do see the SBTB College Years comparison-but in a good way, i loved anything and everything SBTB related.

Plus, did anyone noticed Tamara from Sister, Sister is in it???

rosered · 03-20-2009, 03:43 PM

Everyone planning on watching the premiere on monday? I keep seeing the commercial and my confidence level is rising...

yankeesrj12 · 03-20-2009, 06:34 PM

Since I'm pretty sure Two and a Half Men is a repeat at 9pm this week, I plan on watching it!

It looks interesting. I will give it a chance.

I like the looks of it and the first thing I thought of after seeing the promo was Big Bang Theory and agree with the other comparisons as well. I'm going to watch it online once it comes up since I don't get ABC Family.

In general, I find ABC Family's shows of recent years to be of very good quality. In my opinion, they could be better than the CW if they had a few more original shows.

Thanks for the headsup and also, does anyone recommend that I watch the second season of Teenager? I watched the first season and loved it but just want some of your opinions (without giving away anything, PLEASE!)

factsoflife · 03-24-2009, 04:56 PM

I watched the show and LOVED IT! it was very funny, it reminded me of some of those old UPN/WB shows of the 1990's but of much higher quality. Tamera Mowry was excelent in this episode and did the best work of her entire career. The entire cast was appealling and the comedy funny and it definetly fits the ABCFamily brand. I thought the guy playing the ex-boyfriend of the main girl was wicked good looking. This show is the perfect fit for cable and i think wouldn't be a big hit elsewhere on TV. maybe CBS, but it's probrally not refined enough for CBS. it's a good show though.
