I can't even come up with a title for this post


Who thought this was a good idea and how did someone at the network think this was a good idea? It really feels like an 80's sitcom idea, back when network execs were high on cocaine. My guess is that because animals do well with family audiences, someone came up with idea. There's no way this show will be good. And its's too bad because the cast isn't that bad.

Joe and Anthony Russo are directing the new Captain America movie, scary.

I want to like this, because I love Justin Kirk in Weeds. I'll check it out, but I don't have much hope. :(

Don't hold your breath. If you haven't seen it yet don't bother. You will be disappointed.

If you liked Uncle Andy you will like this too!

Or not...I watched the pilot, and it blew dead bear!

But it takes place in a hospital and who doesn't love hospital shows?

The OP is right about the 80s feel. Characters that are supposed to be funny (but aren't) because they're zany and one-dimensional. A tiny monkey in scrubs. Yes, the execs have something up their nose and it's not their allergy medicine.

well I read a bunch of the posts before watching the first episode.. I really like Justin Kirk from "Weeds", esp. since the last couple of seasons he's been the main reason to watch the show...

but this one... wow! where do we begin? totally unfunny, using a character with Down's Syndrome as your go to laugh seems cheap and offensive (this isn't South Park with Timmy or Jimmy, where we GO to be offended!!) this is mainstream stuff... ugh..

SPOILER:::

the ONLY thing that really made me laugh was the scene after the first credits with them racing turtles being ridden by guinea pigs! that was funny...

why are almost all of the comedies, both on TV and films, these days sooooo bad???

Even inspired shows like 30 Rock have slipped... oh well.. too bad about this one as I really like Justin Kirk -- hope this gets cancelled fast so he can find something better for his comic talents

Yea I saw the previews & thought it was a spoof, like in Sarah Marshall w/the commercial of her new sitcom (supposedly) it was ridiculous, and that's how this idea of a show appears to be, ridiculous...
