9jkl is a bit of a throwback to the 90's, sure, but it's hilarious, elliott gould is particularly great, and there are many funny jokes. i think it's much better than the majority of CBS sitcoms, and i simply don't understand the hatred of this show from both critics and audience reviewers alike. while not as good as everybody loves raymond, as this show is often compared to, it's still a good urban twist on the classic overbearing parents trope. the main character is quite charming as well, and albert tsai is better in this than dr. ken or his recurring role as phillip goldstein in fresh off the boat. give this show a shot, you might find that you actually like it!
