Cortechba Overrated

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

SanteeFats I watched all twenty episodes and was bummed when TVLand canceled it. I enjoyed the show. I thought the plot was okay, the acting is decent, and I have always liked George Segal. The premise that a 35 year old would retire (quit), move to Florida where his parents are living separated,then mooches off of them is actually not that far fetched in the current and recently past economy. Many adult children have in fact had to move back in with their parent(s). This short lived series just takes it to a comedic level. Then there is the lumpy adolescently gifted side kick who is always getting the son in to schemes that don't pan out. All in all I think this is a good show and I hope TVLand is showing reruns now to see if there is enough of an audience to start airing new episodes.

jobbyjoe2000 I'm writing this review for one reason. This thing turned itself around hard. I have no idea if they got new writers or what, but after the first two episodes I was like everybody else and ready to bail on the show. But I gave it one more shot and it totally swayed me. They've aired 4 episodes as I write this and the last two are hugely better than the first two, which were kind of all over the place and not very funny.The show seems to have settled down and figured out what it wants to be, which looks like a throwback comedy with some basic conflict and a cute resolution at the end. And I'd say it does that slightly better than average.One thing I will say though, in reading some of the early stuff on here, the guy who plays David, Johnathan McClain, seems to have caught some heat, which is crazy to me. I think dude's the best thing about the show. I read a review of this series in The Daily News which called his work solid, and I totally agree, and in the last two episodes he's far and away the funniest part of the show. He seems natural and comfortable on screen, and frankly looks like he's putting way more effort into making the thing work than George Segal and Jessica Walters. Somebody I read said they should have gotten Matthew Perry, which is weird because to me dude seems to be playing a cross between Perry and Schwimmer, which is kind of how the part's written, so I think the guy's doing great.I mean all in all, it's not like amazing and it's not gonna change TV, but I don't think that's probably the point. My girlfriend watches Hot In Cleveland, which I kind of sit through, but then this comes on and I've got no problem watching it before we go to bed.If it keeps going in the direction it's headed, I think it could go from being pretty good to just plain good. We'll see.

edwagreen The premise is silly. A guy from N.Y. visits his parents in Florida and winds up quitting his job to stay there. What is he doing, becoming part of the Medicare jet-set?All of a sudden, Jessica Walter, the mother, is separated from her husband, George Segal. Then, we get to setting up Segal with a date from Bingo. When he balks at this, the son comes in and then the father is interested in the woman. What's even crazier is who the daughter of the woman turns out to be.Too much criss-crossing here. At 35, our guy is not ready for retirement and it will be hard to dig up material to keep this premise going. Of course, he can always find work down in Florida. What's the unemployment rate there? If the show continues like this, expect the cast to join the unemployment line as well.

sarah337 Full disclosure: a friend of my daughter's lives in Los Angeles and played an extra on this show. She wasn't in the first episode but I watched it on-demand since I'm a huge fan of Hot In Cleveland anyway. I really enjoyed it. There's a lot happening in the first episode I saw and it takes a minute to all fall into place, but I thought the characters were charming and played very well. I've loved George Segal since Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf and The Owl And The Pussycat and he'll always be a movie star to me, but I'm glad to see him back on television too. I also love Jessica Walter and think she's wonderful. She leaves to go to Spain in the pilot, but according to the ads (and my daughter's friend who said she was there on the set) she comes back, which is good because I think she and George Segal together will be fun to watch. I also really enjoyed the actor who played the lead. I don't know his other work but he's adorable in the pilot and his relationship with George Segal is fun to watch. You really believe him and he makes you want to root for things to work out for his character. (And his reaction to when he ends up in bed with the older lady is one of the funniest thing in the show, it made me laugh out loud.)I can see how someone might not like it as much if they don't enjoy this type of comedy, but I miss these kind of family shows. I've tried shows like The Office and even Arrested Development but I just can't get into them. They can seem mean sometimes. (I do enjoy 30 Rock from time to time because I think Tina Fey is adorable.) But if you like this kind of old fashioned sitcom, I think you'll enjoy this. (My son is too young to remember all the old shows, but he watched it with me and liked it too.) And I think with the Jessica Walter character returning, it can only get better and I plan to watch it (or record it ;) ) when it comes on. I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
