    Cute and clever sitcom
    I really enjoyed the pilot of this show, which surprised me a little. It was unexpectedly clever and made me chuckle.

    I thought all three of the main actors had good screen chemistry with each other, which is hard to find.

    While it does have several clichés in it (I dare anyone to find something that doesn't), that doesn't matter because the actors pull it off.

    I enjoyed every moment of the pilot, and I have high hopes for the rest of the episodes we get.

    My concern is that NBC axes things willynilly sometimes, so I don't have a lot of optimism that they'll keep it on the air (much like Bent, which was hilarious and starred the same man as this show). I'll enjoy it while I can, and you should too. :)
