  • Who is your favorite charcter thus far?

    Out of all the wacky friends, who would you say is your favorite?  Chose them for any reason, but be sure to explain why!   Personally, I'd have to say Lauren.  I"m a sucker for main characters!  I love her because she is witty and has doubts about her life with a baby.  She isn't theMore stereotypical mother-to-be.  She's different and I love her for it!

    Is this show over or are there going to be more episodes to air in the next couple of months? I haven't heard anything!

  • Song during Andrew's Flash Back

    I hit erase on my PVR out of habit before I could go back and catch the lyrics to search. The voice sounds so familiar. Can someone please post the song and artist if they know it? Thanks in advance!

    This show is about as great as all those Erectile Disfunction commercials you are seeing on TV now. hide show

    I'm a fan of Comedy. A big one. Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Married with Children, all wonderful shows that have made me laugh for years. I will admit that the occasional episode of friends has cracked smiles here and there. This show? I've watched quite a few episodes of it because of its timeslot right next to the Office (another one of my favorites) and I have not laughed. Once. It's a cookie cutter NBC show that they are using to try to appeal to a specific audience. Namely, the people who are (or have) gone through child birth. The jokes are stale, the situations seem forced, and I can't see a deep lifespan for this show considering that all the major female characters will be "pregnant" by the time the second season hits.

    Great show, not to be missed. hide show

    I saw the first episode and when the opening line is "that's my wife, she is a pain in the ass but I love her." you know you are glued. If you have children, you can totally relate to this show. All the craziness going on while being pregnant all the way to delivery is hilariously portrayed in this show. Not to mention the how relationships with friends and family change. This show is definitely a comedy but oddly very true when it pertains to real life.

    The show provides a fantastic depiction of a single guy, single career oriented woman, married couple with a newborn, and a newly pregnant married couple and how a baby changes everything.

    Incredibly Funny hide show

    This show is hillarious. I can not stop laughing when ever I watch it.
    Cooper is probably my favorite character. She is deffinatley opionated, and out there. I liked when she and Juile were trying to get Lauren to either quit her job or keep it.
    Juile is definitely ready to be a mom, and it is really funny how she is helping Lauren with her pregnancy.
    Danny is a stereotypical batchelor. I thought it was great when he reused Andrew and Lauren's hotel room and the card said I can't wait for you to be the mother of my child.
    Andrew I believe is really ready for this kid and willing to give up almost anything for them.
    Lauren I also believe is ready to have the baby. I think that when she took her drivers test and sped into the drive through, and how she keeps eating the pregnancy pops is really funny.

    This "Belly" is seriously underrated! hide show

    I caught "notes from the underbelly" and it is one of the rare sitcom that work! It's actually funny!!

    Even though sometimes the dialogue falls flat, the amazingly cohesive cast keeps it together. Jennifer Westfeldt's delivery of any line makes the show work. She is so talented as an actress as she is a writer/producer ("Kissing Jessica Stein"). Rachael Harris steals every scene she is in. She's is deliciously wicked!!

    I didn't think a show about pregnancy would be funny because you expect the same old yuks. However, the show is somewhat witty and charming. The cast is hilarious and likable. I hope "Notes" is renewed and we'll see where it goes from there.
