Unfortunately, this was a pretty pathetic attempt at the "Cinderella story" as far as I could tell. It was obvious where the story was going, but it was so drawn out that I was unable to keep up. I love Will and Keri - but not together. The entire premise of the show was very odd - Mother and daughter come from the Peace Core to live with a clueless millionaire who can barely think for himself? (Although I must admit that I've met a few of those folks). Can't wait to see Will's new venture with Christina Applegate - "Up All Night" looks fun and I would like to think that they're both bringing that new parent mentality to the show. I would love to see Keri in a role that highlights her range as a dramatic actress.

If you like 30 Rock, you'll like Running Wilde - simple! Will Arnett is superb in his niche role of wealthy fop, delivering some laugh-out-loud lines; Keri Russell is a Cutey McFeisty providing banter between the two main characters. Peter Serafinowicz is absolutely hilarious too, and every one of the cast is very funny in their own way. The only gripe is that the story lines follow very similar paths week-to-week, being Emmy and Steve trying to out-bluff each other - but hey, it works for House, right? This is the type of show that is perhaps too subtle for the masses to enjoy and thus gets cancelled - so in a time when clever comedies are few and far between, I would urge you to watch it! Highly recommended.

"Running Wilde" ran hysterically wild in our house last night! Who knew Keri Russell could carry off such quick, yet dim, witted ripostes to Will Arnett's naturally sardonic but quickly contrite remarks towards her. Again and again, she surprised me. And the little girl, Puddle (Stephania Owen), only ever seen before in "The Lovely Bones", is a scene-stealer. This child doesn't have to use words to communicate her opinions in order to garner our laughs. Mel Rodgriguez, as Wildes hired best friend/paid slave has been around for a while, but I have a feeling he will make his mark for his comedic chops in this series. His character has experienced the rich and crazy life of the Wilde family since he was very young which, in turn, has influenced his own very unique disposition. The writers, Arnett among them, have done a brilliant job with cast and script. I will look forward to this program each week and hopefully for seasons to come. 10/06/2010

Both me and my husband loved it! Laughed out loud and giggled all the way through! It is odd, silly and sharp. I sincerely hope this one makes it. I need a show that makes me laugh right now, and this one made me laugh a Lot! Loved Fa'ad and his absurd tiny horses. $50 pop. And the bleeped word was priceless. Clean but just on the edge. Something that is hard to find. And, Don't over analyze this show, just have fun watching the absurdity of it, the rest will come. There is so much room for character development here, with the "Nanny" and Driver too. I am looking forward to seeing more of them. The trailer made it look much more serious than it was, so don't let that fool you. It has so many backhanded jokes, you almost have to watch it twice to catch them all. Please watch and give this one a chance!
