  • A Dexter Renewal Is Imminent

    ... It hasn't officially happened yet, but The Hollywood Reporter is boldly predicting a sixth-season renewal for Showtime's Dexter. Okay, maybe it's not that bold, since the show just recorded its second-highest ratings ever. And it's a critic's favorite. And… more

  • Great, funny and "real" show. Ok it's still TV

    The second season is noticeably better than the first. I hope his brother comes back from Iraq real soon. That dude is hilarious! BAM! I do hope this show lasts because "Gary" is not the majority of guys, but a pigeon hole demographic. The ex-jock, popular, with some mean/non-moral friends, but an all around good guy who possesses street smarts/wit and truly misses life dreams (sports goals). I love this show! ... Ok, I might relate a little. NUGGET OUT! BAM! ... Ok, how many sitcoms revolve around a fictional entertainment figure(s)? Is it because we all openly or secretly long for fame?moreless

  • Very funny sitcom with a talented and real cast.

    9.0
    "Superb"
    Gary Unmarried is one of the funniest new shows of 2008. Jay Mohr leads this hilarious cast as recently divorced house painter Gary Brooks. the show is well written and the jokes are very funnier. jokes that are skillfully pulled off by the entire cast. the portrayal of Gary's ex wife Allison by Paula Marshall is hilarious. Marshall portrays Allisons shrill demanding nature perfectly while keeping the character likable. usually in these types of sitcoms the children are overlooked. however it is impossible to look over the skilled performances by Ryan Malgarini as the slightly nerdy yet charming son Tom and Kathryn Newton as cute overachieving daughter Louise. the only concern is the amount of hatred Gary and Allison seem to have for each other after 15 years of marriage. even if it seems odd it makes for one funny show with an equally funny cast.moreless

  • Good Cast, Funny Writing

    I just think the show is well-written and well cast. Mohr and Marshall have a great fighting chemistry and the kids are used well. Both my siblings are divorced and they tell me this show gets it right. When Mohr kept the expensive cake mixer from his wife in the settlement just out of spite my brother said his wife did something just like that - petty and vengeful. Mohr was born to play this guy - a guy's guy - simple man, simple plans but he loves his kids. There are always some lol jokes in every episode. Hope the show comes back next season.moreless

  • finally a funny sitcom!

    I love sitcoms but since the era of seinfeld, Friends and Everybody loves raymond ended its been so hard to find a show that it wity, original and still wickedly funny. I watched the pilot because i love jay and once I started watching the show i had to see more episodes. i hope to see more seasons come from this show, so many sitcoms these days are so boring and in general really not funny. So its good to see CBS putting out yet another good sitcom. Along with How i met Your mother its safe to say that CBS is doing comedy right.moreless

  • Gary: Generic Genius.

    Ah, Gary. The show is fundamentally flawed; it isn't really that creative. However, the show has some of the best writing around. "I don't know! Allison really wanted [the cake mixer] in the divorce, so I fought for it!" More importantly, the family -- Gary, Allison, Tom, and Lucy -- forms a solid backbone for the show, which is reasonably well-acted. However, ultimately it doesn't do much, and additionally it's on CBS, which seems to be largely ignored among television newswriters. Gary is good, in short, but it's not good enough to last long. However, I'll definitely keep enjoying it for as long as it lasts!moreless
