First season thoughts - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Now we have the first season in syndication, what does everyone think of it? I thought the first half or so was pretty bad, nothing particularly amusing. Carrie's sister was unfunny and cliche #12 out of the sitcom textbook (struggling actor). I was glad when they got rid of her - was it explained? Same for Richie (Doug's friend) was also a one-note character. Also in the pilot, Carrie is almost perky, certainly something that changed with later episodes.

They have not shown any of the 1ST season here yet. They are showing best of.

The pilot episode is scheduled for the 29TH

Oh I see. I was going mostly by memory myself, I moved here from England where it had been on almost constant rotation daily for the past few years.

I will never understand why they are jumping around with the eps in syndication......

They are showing the first season in order now in the Detroit area. The sister is gone after the second episode.
