 Sons and Daughters (abc)
It premieres Tuesday, March 7th on ABC (at 9pm I believe--I'll double check).
Whos' watching or has heard of it?
I don't know about anyone else, but this has been one of the only sitcoms that has actually ever really appealed to me or has made me want to watch it. The commercials are hillarious and I can't wait to see exactly how good it is. Usually I tune into sitcoms because of their popularity (friends, will and grace) or ratings or acclaim or peer pressure (Arrested Development  ) but I really want to see what this one's about.
Any other takers?

So ABC still hasn't sorted out the drama taking place on the set of COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

I'm interested.
Reviews have been kind of mixed, though, from what I've read.

Somewhat interested. It premiers before BL, so I'll tune in to the last half to see if it piques my interest.

Is this the one based mostly off of improvisation, or is a different new comedy?

Some of it is improv, I've heard.

Eh... it was funny was a little too choppy and sometimes slow.
I don't know if it was enough to make me watch next week. Oh wait... I have my final term paper due next Wednesday
So, most probably not

So not great?
It's on the same time as Scrubs, I realized tonight. And I couldn't Tivo one and watch the other since I was gone, so unless I hear this one has started to get really good, probably not going to be tuning in. I guess I'll try, though.

I thought the show was terrible! It wasn't funny and was dull. The one son was cute though, but not enough for me to keep watching. I don't think this one will last.

Awful show. It's not very funny for one. They focus too much on the drama and the plotting is very choppy. The improvisation doesn't work at all. Fox's "Free Ride" is a much better example of a show that uses improv. Good improv should look like it isn't improv, if you get what I mean. "Sons & Daughters" looks far too much like they didn't have a script to work with. I hope it gets canceled as I'd take an old-fashioned sitcom over this.

I read it was down about 23% in households from the last Commander in Chief episode but up nearly 40% in adults 18-49.
