The show was pretty bad it was a rehash of the original show which was 100% better

I waited for this for months and when it finally came on I fell asleep! I have to find somewhere to see it again. There is nothing like the original though. One of my favorite shows of all time.

Thanks for the post. I will take your word for it and watch it on In Demand tomorrow. I wanted to see it tonight but I was dvring the Vampires Diaries and Idol @ 8PM. I also have to watch Big Bang on In Demand. Soo many shows on at once certain nights, then other nights nothing!

I enjoyed it! I think Thomas Lennon is a terrific comic actor, and of course Matthew Perry will always be "Chandler"!

I watched it and liked it more than I thought I would. The actor playing Felix is a hoot!

I really liked it but thought I wouldn't as I usually don't like any remakes in TV shows and movies. Both great actors who fit the parts perfectly.

It was on last night ( Thursday) at 8:30 on CBS. I am not sure if that is it's permanent time or not.

i just watched it. Not LOL funny, but it may get better. I just think Tony Randall was one of a kind in that role.

Funny show but the original is a classic.

I know this has nothing to do with anything but Matthew Perry's speech was driving me nuts. It was like he got his teeth capped or something and his speech was off.

I watched about 15 minutes and thought the show was horrible.

I forgot about it. I guess I didn't miss anything.

We can't compare anything to the originals, but this show seems to have a lot of potential. Many viewers may not be familiar with the original. This show was cuter than many shows on these days.

Why can't Hollywood come up with original ideas? They've been on a remake craze in both TV and the big screen for years now. They've got the most creative minds in the country right at their disposal, yet they can't seem to come up with anything new.

It was as if he was trying too hard not to sound like Walter Matthau or Jack Klugman. I did recognize some of the dialogue that was from the original film. I might watch it again, just to see how it goes, but then I can always see the tv re-runs on another cable channel, & I have a copy of the film. I think it's pretty hard, though, to try to be as good as the original film & original tv series.

My biggest beef about this show, & some films these days, is that it seems like nobody can come up with an original idea any more. What's up with that?

I watched it last night but I didn't pay much attention to it. It was on more or less for background noise. I'll have to make sure to really watch it next week. I have never seen the original series or the movie, so I have nothing to compare it to.
