It's like scrubs but with radio. It's something I didn't know I wanted or needed.

I see this show as a little bit older, more mature Zach Braff trying to step into the old, well-worn shoes of "TV sitcom dad," especially since he is a dad of young kids in real life now at home.John Dorian was a single guy. The character Alex is married & has 2 young kids. (New territory for Zach to play.). Give him a chance before unplugging it altogether! If they keep the kids as an integral focal point of the scripts each week, (plus the mom, too, of course!) hopefully they will figure out where these characters are going. Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out new characters, & storylines, and the motivating desires of each character (without falling into stereo-typical characters.)If sitcoms would actually put their characters IN FUNNY situations where the comedy comes from, (like Lucy & Ethel or Laverne & Shirley!!) that's when sitcoms turn into classic gold! Sitcom has become a term today that usually means "nuclear family: mom, dad, and two or three kids." That's not really fair to the genre. Remember "Cheers?" Remember "Taxi?"GET THE WRITING BACK to SITUATIONS, (especially funny, absurd situations) & not just "joke, punchline, joke, punchline, kid rolls eyes, says something catty or mean to parents, & then storms out of the room stomping their feet."It took Bonanza almost a year before they got into the groove of things. Give Alex Inc. more than a week or two.

I read through most of your reviews and the (ONE) star reviews folks, you are just so far off base. This is a 1/2 hour - comedy - show, or what I think is a REAL reality show. What a bunch of negativity you are all expressing. Go back to Criminal Minds or Survivor if you want depth and GREAT acting. What are we doing here? Are we reviewing the series TRUST, or even Designated Survivor? For those of us who are busy and work MANY hours in the day, Alex, Inc. is a welcome departure at the end of my day. I love every one of these characters and I appreciate the richness of their lineage that is explored with their children (and mother-in-law)! The most recent show with the India Holi was FANTASTIC! Here in Boulder we actually have a race and appreciation party with a Holi and it is fantastic. There are many people here expressing that they "Want their sitcoms EDGIER"!! Who are you kidding?? Sitcoms, of which I NEVER watch much at all, are not edgy, they should be just fun and enlightening to a small piece of maybe another culture you aren't aware of. I am so glad to see this show and I love Zach, loved him in Scrubs many years ago, he has always been very funny and I just am happy you brought this to me. I see Alex, Inc. in my DVR and I know I am going to be laughing, I MEAN SNOT OUT MY NOSE LAUGHING. Text or email me if you think I am not telling the truth, when he blew himself out of the chair and did a huge face plant on the concrete office floor, I was BA-HOOING!!!! Thank you for the show.

I don't think it's an intentional move, but somehow the writers of this show managed to make every character a horrible, annoying selfish person. The kids who treat their parents like garbage and need everything "RIGHT NOW!!!!!". the wife that nags and nags and nags and nags and nags and nags......
The selfish as hell husband that quits his job to follow a stupid as hell dream running a podcast (because that pays the bills) and not only that - it's a podcast about his horrible family. This show is so far up it's own ass I can honestly say I HATE IT AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN IT'S CREATION.
Do yourself a favor and throw on some Scrubs reruns instead. Or just punch yourself in the genitals for 22 minutes. Also more entertaining then this.
