This is the saddest thing

Donald Faison, Wayne Knight and Kristen Johnson all had roles that were secret gems, surprising you of how capable they are at stealing the show. They're such great talents...

To be wasted in this depresses me. Three amazing actors who should be getting better roles stuck in this crap. Even Knight on "Hot in Cleveland" (which isn't the greatest, but far superior to this schlock) is much funnier.

It has it all! A 3rd Rock reunion, plus TURK... and it failed. I mean... my god!

I think the biggest problem is simply, that these people seem
not to get any comedy roles in a long time. Faison can play,
but sadly you don't see him much on screen after Scrubs.

That said, its TV Land. They don't go Modern Family. They
don't have the money, and surely can't have or don't want
the depth. They want easy going stuff that you can watch
without thinking much, as the other program on TV Land ;-x

In comparison to Hot in Cleveland it fails. But its much
more interesting than, for example, the rather musical-eseque
"Retired at 35". I don't know what they thought about THIS one.
