    Comedy Show Worth Watching

    With so many reality shows shoved in our face, and the few comedy shows out there that are so lame, and not worth the time watching, it's refreshing to finally watch a comedy show that delivers hilarity. I actually can't believe how funny "The Exes" is. Note: the first episode is not so good as it's just introducing the watcher to the premise, but once you get past it, it's non-stop laughter. Kudos to the writers. As for the actors, each one chosen well for each part. I thought the first season was great and couldn't do any better. Totally wrong. Second season rocked even more. There were times I had to pause the show as I couldn't stop laughing. Love the show and can't wait for the third season.

    Its good!

    I won't necessarily write that this show is anything like Friends (let's be honest, what is?) or How I met Your Mother but still it has the comedy down. Kristen Johnson certainly carries most of the comedic element of this show.

    The Acting however could use to tone down a bit. There were scenes which gave goosebumps out of pure overacting.

    The writing needs a bit of work as well. Some lines were too cartoonish and too far off reality.

    But otherwise, if you want a good time and feel good after a hard day's work then this shows is good!

    Highly enjoyable

    This show is a hidden gem that I came across by accident on prime. The title didn't sound appealing but after only a few episodes the characters grew on me and I couldn't get enough of them. This show is mostly fun, not exactly the laugh out loud type (how many of those are there?) but there were quite a few funny ones. If nothing else it's bound to entertain. Comedy tastes vary but give a try.

    casting everything

    The show is pretty good. The writing is very hit or miss. Some episodes are incredibly well written and others are a little weak which means the cast has to carry the script. A great comedic actor can make the most mundane jokes funny and that's what Leah Remini has brought to this show. She's a tremendous addition to an already strong cast. Her comedic timing and delivery is exceptional. If anything, the show's writing (and maybe direction?) hinders her and the rest of the cast. That being said, I'm gaining a tremendous amount of respect for her as a comedian and an actress and I'd love to see more of her on this show! I'd love to see a few episodes where Remini and Johnston take the lead in steering a plot... I get an awesome Lucy & Ethel vibe from them. Pair those two up in zany exploits and hilarity will most certainly ensue!

    Laugh Out Loud Funny

    One of the best sitcoms out there. It's actual scripted television with multiple cameras and talented actors, filmed in front of a live studio audience. Kristen Johnston leads a brilliant and hysterical ensemble cast. The adorable Kelly Stables (2 1/2 Men) is the 4' 11" assistant Eden, to Kristen's 6 ft Holly. The sight gags here alone are almost worth the price of admission. Kristen plays a divorce attorney who opens her second apartment to 3 ex-clients and proceeds to mother hen them, while having love life difficulties of her own. She's reunited with Wayne Knight, her 3rd Rock from the Sun love interest (best known as Newman from Seinfeld). Donald Faison (Scrubs) as the resident 'player' and David Bascher as the third of the three EXES. Their chemistry gets better with every episode and the writing is top notch. One of the few shows I watch the same night it airs.
