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.

I found it cute but not much more. The actors are appealing, though, especially that superhuman adorable child actress.

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.

You're just a big hate train with your hate of Ben and Kate and New Girl and Community. :disgust:

I'm not a huge fan of the desperate need to make EVERYONE weird and quirky. 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!"?

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 :P. I hate wet clothes.

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

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.

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

I'll give Mindy Project another try. But only because I actually like Mindy Kaling in anything besides The Mindy Project.

I enjoyed the pilot but couldn't get into the last two episodes at all. I'm not going to keep watching.

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.

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.

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.

Last night's episode was really solid. I'm loving Dakota Johnson on this - she does awkward humor perfectly.

I like this show! Has been very good the past few weeks. I'm not expecting it to get a second season though. :(

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.
