 "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
 Anyone watch this last night? I actually liked this one a lot more than I expected to. It was really sweet and charming - the two leads were great but Lucy Punch stole the show for me. She was hilarious. I know it only did OK last night but I hope FOX sticks with it and ratings remain stable.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I found it cute but not much more. The actors are appealing, though, especially that superhuman adorable child actress.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I wasn't even planning on watching from the ads but there was nothing else on last night at that time so I decided to give it a shot while waiting for the next New Girl. I'm glad I did. It was actually really cute. Lucy Punch was hilarious.

And Nat Faxon is a little too much at times. But I liked it. And Dakota Johnson is really charming. Can we also put a moratorium on "let's make the lead characters all jump in a swimming pool at a really awkward moment!"?

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
LOL. I thought the same thing about the swimming pool while watching this. That seems to happen a lot. I could help but think about how they drove home soaking wet. Jumping into water with clothes on freaks me out  . I hate wet clothes.

Awful pilot. I liked the kid though. Hate the brother and the sister is also such a wimp.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I don't know, it clicked for me. Wasn't perfect by any means.
Meanwhile, I'm watching The Mindy Project now and I really, really don't like it.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
Mindy Project was fine, if unspectacular. All the good jokes were in the long form trailer, but there were a lot of good jokes. You're cray

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I'll give Mindy Project another try. But only because I actually like Mindy Kaling in anything besides The Mindy Project.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I enjoyed the pilot but couldn't get into the last two episodes at all. I'm not going to keep watching.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
Lucy Punch's monologue comparing Ben to a circus was HILARIOUS last night. Also great seeing Lauren Miller (For A Good Time, Call...) again!
Really cute episode.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I love this show. It's the perfect balance of sweet and funny. I loved the latest episode - Kate's interactions with the neighbor were hilarious. And Lucy Punch is the standout member of the cast so far.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
Last night's episode might have been the best one yet. It sucks no one is watching this show! The cast is so funny and charming. I also loved seeing Amber Stevens last night since I loved her on "Greek." The reunion itself was hilarious especially the sing-off, which felt like something out of "30 Rock." Also Lucy Punch is delivering one of the best comedic supporting performances on TV right now.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
Last night's episode was really solid. I'm loving Dakota Johnson on this - she does awkward humor perfectly.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I like this show! Has been very good the past few weeks. I'm not expecting it to get a second season though.

 Re: "Ben and Kate" (Season 1)
I've always loved the show. But I haven't watched since episode 5ish. Just don't see the point with ratings so low.

Another really cute episode last night. I love BJ, and her fake newscasts were amazing.
