So far, I've only seen the pilot.  I don't think it's quite as good as the UK version yet. But I liked that one enough to hang in there and check this out. Also it had some genuine funny moments. Not sure if I like the cast yet. We'll see.

This show is surprisingly enjoyable. It's a new take on the blended family and I think it's done rather well. Can't help rooting for the guy to clean up his act, even while you enjoy seeing the mess he makes along the way.

I've always been a fan of celebrity game shows. It's been a long time since we've gotten one like this. And depending on the guests, it usually delivers a smile. Jane Lynch is not my favorite host as i feel she takes it over the top a bit. But otherwise I quite enjoy the show.

I had to tune in for Robin Williams. The supporting cast is actually wonderful and has pretty good chemistry. But it pains me to say that Sarah Michelle Gellar is a bit of a square peg in this ensemble. She doesn't quite have the comedy chops that her co-stars share. But that being said, her performance has improved as the series progresses.  It's not the best sitcom I have ever watched but it has some real potential. And it's worth checking out for the 30 sec blooper reel at the end of each episode.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland



Once Upon a Time in Wonderland is an American fantasy-drama series created by Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, Zack Estrin and Jane Espenson for ABC Studios. The program is a spin-off of Once Upon a Time and airs on ABC at 8:00pm (ET) on Thursday nights in the 2013–14 television season beginning October 10, 2013.

The series is based around the Lewis Carroll fairytale classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland but with a different twist from the other adaptations and takes place in the same universe as Once Upon a Time in present-day Wonderland, with flashbacks to pre-Curse Wonderland. As such, it is expected to follow the same setting as the parent series, including the use of Disney and Lost related allusions. In addition, the series will have crossover episodes with Once Upon a Time that will also involve a connection with the characters that are trapped in Storybrooke, Maine.
 In a Victorian London-type world, the young and beautiful Alice tells a tale of a strange new land that exists on the other side of a rabbit hole. An invisible cat, a hookah-smoking caterpillar, and playing cards that talk are just some of the fantastic things she's seen during this impossible adventure. Believing Alice to be insane, her doctors aim to cure her with a treatment—presumably a lobotomy—that will make her forget everything. Alice seems ready to put it all behind her… especially the painful memory of the genie Cyrus, with whom she fell in love before losing him forever. But deep down, she knows this world is real. Just in the nick of time, the sardonic Knave of Hearts and the irrepressible White Rabbit save her from a doomed fate. Now Alice is determined to find Cyrus while evading the plots of Jafar and the Red Queen.

The show gets off to a bit of a slow start. The characters don't draw you in right away. But I just recently sat down and watched all the series to date. And it is quite enjoyable. If you are a fan of fairy tales and Disney in particular then this is worth watching, if only for the references.
And I think the crossovers and character arcs from it's parent show Once Upon A Time, should draw in fans of that show. Though be warned while similar in concept , the two shows are not exactly the same.

Each episode puts a spotlight on Louis' hectic life as a successful stand-up comedian and newly single father raising his two daughters. The single-camera comedy is a mix of Louis C.K.'s stand-up comedy and scripted short films.

Parenthood is a dramady that premiered on Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 10pm on NBC. The series is an updated version of the 1989 film of the same title. It is also the second TV series based on that film (the previous series aired during the 1990-1991 television season).
This contemporary re-imagining of the blockbuster film depicts the colorful and imperfect Braverman family -- four grown siblings sharing the headaches, heartaches and joy of being parents. When Sarah Braverman, a financially strapped single mother, returns home to her parents and siblings in Berkeley, Calif. after packing up her Fresno apartment and uprooting her two inconvenienced kids, Amber (Mae Whitman) and Drew (Miles Heizer), she is greeted by her opinionated father, Zeek (Nelson), and strong mother, Camille (Bedelia) who are privately dealing with their own marital issues. As Sarah is reunited with her siblings -- sister, Julia (Christensen), and brothers Crosby (Shepard) and Adam (Krause) -- all struggling with issues of their own, it's clear that the Braverman reunion is just what they need to face the everyday challenges of modern family life.

This is a show that I only caught in season 3. I had heard about it and I figured it was just another hospital drama. Which as it turns out it is. But unlike most of it's kind, it also takes a much more personal view of it's characters. The focus is more of the hospital staff than on the patients. The ensemble is a large one, with several of the leads having come and gone. But it manages to split it's time well between all the character storylines. Not to mention it's got one of the best soundtracks around.

This is right at the top of my must see list.The stories are intriguing enough to make you want to come back for more. All the characters are well developed and get their chance in the spotlight. And the love triangle is the kind that has you going back and forth with who you're rooting to get together. Though I tend to be a Delena gal myself.
