What did you think? I liked it.My favorites characters are Dylan,Claire and Jake.I find all the others annoying.For some reason it reminds me of my real life.I have so many reasons to go to a different school but 1 reason (Named Amanda LOL) to stay.What about you?

Will and Grace Fanatic · 09-26-2002, 10:10 PM

I don't know, it hasn't aired here yet I still have two and half hours till the airing.

i really liked it. its probably tie with 8 simple rules for best new series this season. the humor was good (not forced humor, but laugh out loud humor) the story lines look promising. The characters are all there and the romance looks good too. i feel like this is the first sitcom in awhile to have funny basic humor. I dont really like Will and Grace because i feel that the humor is forced but this show seems different. im lovin the show and i cant wait for more!

It's a NewsRadio rip off.

the truth · 09-26-2002, 10:28 PM

everything is a rip-off of everything else, dig it?

How many new ideas are left out there? Phil Hartman's gone, get over it!

Geekzilla · 09-26-2002, 10:31 PM

Watch the pilot episode of NewsRadio.

LucyCompanyPhan · 09-26-2002, 10:40 PM

ive seen Newsradio and so what if its a copy... u people gotta get over your sitcoms. the show was good. Nothing will EVER be orginal, im sorry,but sometimes u gotta suck it up and live with it. If they created a show sorta like I Love Lucy, i probably say they totally copied it but i probably enjoy it anyway.

Geekzilla · 09-26-2002, 10:41 PM

Paul Simms should get a check for every time this show airs.

LucyCompanyPhan · 09-26-2002, 11:14 PM

oh please.

IheartMoonlighting · 09-27-2002, 01:13 AM

I'm gonna continue to watch it because it comes on after Will and Grace, but I don't think its as great as the Will and Grace pilot that debuted in '98. There are some funny lines but that's about it. I like the guy who plays Jake, so that's another reason why i'm gonna tune in.

Ok, I never watch any current sitcoms that air in prime time, because none of them have anything that attract me. I watch TV Land and that's about it. I do watch Everybody Loves Raymond and that's only because the reruns hooked me. So, tonight I decided to watch an episode of Will and Grace which was ok and then decided to tune into this new show.

To my surprise, I actually liked it. It wasn't half bad. Of course the best thing about it is Suzanne Pleshette. The humor isn't forced and as far as I'm concerned NBC should pick it up for the entire season and see how it goes.

As for being a rip-off: Who cares? Afterall it's not exactly like other shows (it's like a cross between Who's the Boss? and The Mary Tyler Moore Show) You want to talk about rip-off's just look at the music industry. When was the last time you heard a song that was remade.

Will and Grace Fanatic · 09-27-2002, 11:40 AM

Ok, I watched it now. I'd give the pilot a B

It wasn't as funny as Will and Grace but pretty good. And I'd like to add I don't think it is anything like NewsRadio.

Geekzilla · 09-27-2002, 06:33 PM

The Penny character is basically the same as Beth on NewsRadio.

In the NewsRadio pilot, Dave was a new employee who was 15 minutes late.

The two anchors are rip offs of Bill McNeal and Catherine Duke. Plus they are trying to make the same kind of relationship they had on NewsRadio.

LucyCompanyPhan · 09-28-2002, 12:37 PM

i really hope NBC picks this up. i think its fits nicely with Skrubs,friends & will and grace

by the way... actually i think this show is gonna be way better NewsRadio. I never liked that show anyway

Geekzilla · 09-28-2002, 01:29 PM

You will think it is better because you are like most members here who love **** sit-coms.
