I saw this show for Olivia Munn, I actually think shes funny (unlike a lot of fanboys who are just fans of hers because of her looks). I really enjoyed her in Attack of The Show and I really love when she shows up on the Daily Show. So against my better judgment I sat down to watch what I guess passes for a TV show.

Have you ever seen a show so bad that when a good joke finally comes around after 15 agonizing minutes of horrible acting and pretentious dialogue that you are just too tired to give a *beep* If not go ahead and watch this turd of a sitcom because you will soon experience this feeling.

When I think about how many starving children could have been fed with the money that was wasted on this vomit inducing waste of paper, a small part of my soul dies in agony. Holy mother of god! This is a horrible show.

I have not come across a show that has filled me up with such bile from the pit of my stomach since "Heil Honey I'm Home!." Every minute of this episode I swear I pictured the producers sticking their heads into the frame of the TV screaming "Eh! Eh! Funny Right?!"

Maybe if this show premiered in the coke filled polo wearing 1980's aimed at a the smug yuppie asstwat it would stand a bed bugs chance (inside joke) of actually finding an audience. But considering the economy is in the *beep* hole (nice call making two of the main characters real estate agents, good call *beep* and that 34% (and growing) of the population is overweight, a sitcom about good looking white people who live in houses that most of us will only see if we crash an open house really just feels like a kick in the balls. Yes I really identify with the couple struggling to plan their vacation in Italy. Oh yeah the girl who looks like she whips herself if she looks at a Twix Bar, is upset because her husband complains that she isn't sexy enough when he comes home from work, wow I really feel for her. WTF! Even when this chick is slumming it, she still looks like she has had professional make up done.

I wanted to strangle Hayes MacArtur when ever he opened his mouth and tried to do what a deaf mentaly handicapped 12 year old considers acting. David Waltons face and voice made me want to bullet to my head. Mary Elizabeth Ellis looks like she is embarrassed to utter any line of this *beep* of a script.

Who ever green lit this show, should have their balls removed with a pair of rusty pliers. I hope you loose control of your bowels while driving your car on the highway causing you to crash head on to a concrete divider breaking every bone in your body that will cause unearthly pain the likes of which i experienced for hitting the play button on my DVR.

So yeah this show sucks. Dont watch it.

Some shows are so bad they are good.....THIS is NOT one of those shows!

I thought the show was pretty decent and would watch it again. But I don't think it's best in between Community and Office. Those shows are both a little wacky and this one is a little more middle-of-the-road. I can definetly see some of my single (non-married) friends not liking it so much.

I agree. This show is terrible. I don't want to waste my brain cells on this when shows like Modern Family, The Office, and Big Bang Theory are entire worlds better. Some of the acting is to blame because of how hard some of these actors are trying to make the script funny, but I think it's mainly the writing that makes this show suck so bad. To me, Perfect Couples is another example of NBC trying its hardest to "force the funny", as I like to call it. The only reason this show will stay afloat is because it's riding between the coattails of Community and the Office. And the reason they don't play Perfect Couples and Outsourced (NBC's other example of 'forcing the funny') back to back is because they would lose too much viewership. This show is awful. NBC is doing well with Community, Office, Parks & Rec, and 30 Rock, but they need to trash Outsourced and Perfect Couples and go back to a good drama with good writing that people can sink their teeth into after two hours of good comedy.

best fcking review ive read about a show that we both hate. "I hope you loose control of your bowels while driving your car on the highway"
lol!! hilarious

I watched AOTS when it FIRST came on, cuz munn had her titties out. Same reason I gave this dumbass show a shot

[–] Spoon_Man01 13 years ago

Right on. I watched the pilot earlier this week and if it's anything to go by I won't be watching the next.

My exact thoughts while watching the scene where the '10 couple' are discussing their vapid shortcomings was 'pretentious' and you hit that nail bang on. I actually came here convinced that someone else would surely have mirrored my sentiments using that particular word and here you are, my brother.

Literally could not agree more, although my main problem is simply the fact that I stare at the screen and feel as though I SHOULD be laughing. The comedy is similar to that of How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory except for some reason I find those hilarious but this boring as hell. I think it mainly is down to the fact that the characters are unlikeable, generic, and the script seems like it's been cringified and desperate to get any laughs...
