I can't understand why t.v. execs didn't have patience with this sitcom; it was funny, had it's moments, had some interesting plots (all dealt with dating), and wacky characters.This was a different sitcom from many others that came out at the time. The situations to be honest were not "very" creative but at least made us wonder how such a silly job could work in a decadent society. The truth is that dating was something really funny through the eyes of our characters.Busy Phillips was very sexy and funny while the rest of the cast was well just fine. The guy who plays Barry is one funny man.I don't know if time would gave this sitcom the reason but something for sure is that it was canceled in an unfair mode.Still I can recommend it for those who like to watch re.runs. Watch it on American Network and Latinos can watch it on Sony Entertainment Television.

Do the writers that conjure up these type of "comedies" have such empty lives that they have to embody them in tragic shows like this?.Why the talented and gorgeous Busy Phillips is amongst this trash is beyond me,I cannot stand the Hispanic girl whose accent sounds very fake and is so unfunny and annoying as is the other African-American girl with the shrill voice.The jokes are often stupid, the Jewish guy yells a lot and the show never goes anywhere, one particular episode with the solider looking for love was just terrible.I don't believe there would be that many working in a looking for love office and only one man? Of course all of the Woman are in tight fitting tops and tons of make up to make up for their lack of talent.I actually found Holly funny in her older shows and I have always admired Busy but this show is dumb, empty and had nothing going for it.

This show is awful and the jokes are flat and I really don't see any potential for it progressing. I don't know what's going on with these networks-maybe they need better writers or something, but most of the so called sitcoms on UPN or boring and lack humor. I like Holly Robinson-Pete, but I am just so surprised to see her in something like this. Of course, I hope the show will improve but for now it appears like their is no room for hope. The characters all appear like they don't have " life" they are all just so flat and lack energy. Everybody hates Chris is pretty funny which is a lead for love, inc, however, without it, I don't think it would have survived as long as it did.

I love Holly Robinson Peete, and that's what initially attracted me to this show. However, the stand-out characters here are Fran (Reagan Gomez-Preston of "The Parent 'Hood") and Barry (Vince Vieluf).I think that the show is pretty funny. Not laugh-out-loud hilarious like its lead-in, "Everybody Hates Chris," but it's pretty good.Although I find the laughs entertaining and enjoyable, I wonder where a show like this could possibly go. What can they do to make the show better? Even "The Cosby Show" got better as the years progressed. What will the writers be able to do to keep viewers coming back? You can't just punch-line your way to into the classic series hall of fame. Sure, the punch lines are great, but there has to be more.Basically, I like the show (not love, as I do "Everybody Hates Chris"), but I don't think that it has any potential.
