Better with You: Future Ratings Failure??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We all saw how Hank did last year.... It was unfunny.... and it was a muti-camera sitcom in a block with a bunch of single camera shows. The Middle will be leading out into Better With You and leading into Modern Family... I think modern family would be hurt by having that lead-in and The Middle won't do as strong as it did last year....

What Are Your Thoughts???

I think Modern Family will be alright. I don't think their success depends on a lead-in. The Middle did alright last year and they had no lead-in at all. If Better with You is any good then I think people will watch. I like multi-cams better then the single-cam sitcoms although The Middle and Modern Family were my favorite new sitcoms last year. I gave Cougar Town a chance but I just didn't care for it as much.

Ridicoulous. Modern Family will have its ratings no matter what. I have seen this pilot and it is good. Much much much beter than Hank and it is similar to Modern Family, but this is multicam.

Pavan, The Pilot is good, and it is similar to modern family. I can imagine that with 3 different couples tying in together as in 3 different families tying in together at the end of the day. Now why not just make this show a single camera to make it more of a companion to modern family or had it been multi-camera from the beginning since the pitch???
