In-Laws is the Best New NBC Comedy Since... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay, here is my opinion:

"In-Laws" is the greatest new NBC comedy to premiere since "Jesse" in 1998. Yes, it has been that long since I have appreciated a new NBC comedy. This one made me laugh so hard and so much, leaving me to crave for more -- and then guess what! THERE WAS MORE! Another episode aired! I am very excited to see how well this show can do.

From what I have seen it seems funny. Way better than that junk Hidden Hills. It's kind of hard for me to watch In-Laws and Buffy at the same time. I wish NBC would move it to 9 PM or to another day.

Jordan just a question, do you like purple? I have noticed most, or every, post you make you have purple color text, is that you favorite color?

It is very funny but it isn't doing all that good because it is opposite Jag and 8 Simple Rules. I think NBC should put it on at 9:30 I think Frasier would give it a big lift in viewers.

Yessum, you are correct! Purple is the best color in the entire world -- was it really that obvious?!

No.

I like silver but when I use it people can barely read it, or is it me that can barely read it? I forget.

That's all folks!

Anyone know what the theme song is called?

In-Laws has improved greatly over time, but 8SR is still a bit more likable, and In-Laws is behind possibly the worst show currently on television. Jean Smart is just AMAZING!!! BUT...we will be saying goodbye to this one pretty soon most likely. It hasn't even made it into the top 30 or 40 as I understand...it's just dragging in the 50's and 60's.

#69 is a sign of failure. 8SR ranks at #29, while JAG on CBS is at #15. Too bad...In-Laws could have been this season's breakout hit, if it hadn't started out so roughly.

callmetootie · 11-12-2002, 09:55 PM

This week's episode was quite good, although it wasn't as funny as the Halloween one. I see that it has been switched to 8:30, to go up against Jim instead of 8SR. This may or may not be a good move, depending on how Jim is doing. Jim is like in the 30's now, while 8SR is still in the 20's. I'll say one thing. This show should be on thursdays to finally be noticed...it's quite good!
