I know that it hasn't premiered yet but this is the official Happy Family talkback thread.

I gotta tell you, I wasn't expecting much from this show (considering the lead in) but I was pleasantly surprised.
Ths is a very funny show.
John Larroquette and Christine Baranski are terrific.

Thumbs up, baby!

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 09-09-2003, 09:46 PM

I really liked it. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

Mr. Television · 09-09-2003, 09:50 PM

I enjoyed it. I thought is was very funny. Why do I think that it will be among NBC'S first cancellations?

Unlike Whoopi, I was not impressed with this show. I must say though, this series certainly has one of better looking TV homes, I've seen.

*GoodMorningCalgary* · 09-10-2003, 09:21 AM

Ahhh!! I missed it! I was looking forward to it all day. But then something important came up at the last minute and I missed Whoopi and Happy Family!!

I guess I gotta watch it next week. My brother saw it though, he said they were both pretty good

sonyab · 09-10-2003, 11:42 AM

great show!! Loved it! laughed so hard had tears in my eyes.. can't wait till next week. want to see more!!!

Central Perk · 09-10-2003, 03:00 PM

I didn't like Happy Family, but it was better than Whoopi, imo.

Blinky · 09-10-2003, 04:21 PM

I have to say I was expecting better, I may give it another shot though. Can't see it lasting too long.

donald snl · 09-10-2003, 05:00 PM

it was preitty good maybe not enough for me to give up gilmore girls but i was impreessed espcailly consdering some of the junk nbc put on last year

Night Court Fan · 09-10-2003, 07:22 PM

I *love* this show and I hope it's a hit!!!!!!
John Larroquette and Christine Baranski are a terrific team
and "Tim" is adorable!

Montana Ponine · 09-10-2003, 10:19 PM

I liked it! The writing could use some improving, but I thought it was really funny for the most part. The episode seemed to go on for awhile, but then maybe thats how most pilots are? I remember watching the 8sr pilot and I didn't think it would ever end. Lol.

I really liked both John Larroquette and Christine Baranski. I loved Melanie Paxson but of course I am biased.

I'd like to see more of Eric the Parrot.

Will and Grace Fanatic · 09-11-2003, 06:48 PM

I thought it was good, not the funniest sitcom but pretty good. Better than most of the shows NBC has had in that timeslot. Plus it's nice to see the zip-lock lady in a tv series.

Governor · 09-12-2003, 06:13 PM

I loved it! And I love the chick who plays the daughter, Sarah... She's the Glad Girl and played Janet in the Three's Company movie.

dr frasier crane · 09-14-2003, 04:38 PM

I thought it was really good! I wasn't excepting much from it, but I figured I'd watch it just to give it a try and I thought it was great!
