i liked it. this might just be my opinion, but they seem to be bringing back the older elements of how sitcoms were in early 90s and even earlier. they wrapped things up in the end in a prespective, and the jokes were pretty funny too. i hope it lasts.

Wow, this show was everything I thought it wouldn't be! I seriously thought 'Life with Bonnie' would be better, but LWB didn't have ONE laugh in it, cancelled mid-season I bet! Well, here's my opinion.

---

The humor was hilarious! I believe this show will bring ABC back up to the top 10. In fact, I give the show a 10/10. I'm glad I recorded it! This show was WAY better than I thought. I laughed every few seconds! I am picking this show over In-Laws, that's for sure! Thank god this premiered before In-Laws. It looks boring anyways.

The Currents and Arts section in the San Diego Union Tribune gave it 1 and a half stars. Not only that they gave 8 simple rules to making a good sitcom. Here's the link:

First... it was really funny. Second... Roseanne?!? What are they talking about?!? Third... it's really hard to be completely "original", aince most shows basically aren't. The family comedy works great I think, and this show deserves much more than 1 1/2 stars!

the only one i agree with in the review is the age issue of the characters.

That was the worst review I read for this show. All the other reviews were pretty good for it. 3 or 3 1/2 stars.

Yeah I liked more than I expected to.A few gripes though:

1.Umm the whole AIM thing was already done on George Lopez and so it really wasn't original.

2.No theme song? I know it's only the first show but no theme song (Well it had one but it was like a "Do do do do do do do do" type of thing.Really quick and stupid).


3.Can someone PLEASE dub Kaley Cuoco's voice? I mean sure she's kind of attractive but come on her voice is too Bronx-y for her body.

4.PaVan what do you mean by a REAL sitcom?

This is a good one, I haven't seen a good sitcom in years. Life with Bonnie wasn't that bad. Probably the last good show to leave the air was Home Improvement (I only liked the early years though).

She sounds fine to me, her character is suppose to talk that way. She doesn't talk that way in real life, according to some interviews I have heard of her.
