I don't know what the other reviewers here were watching, but I found the 2 episodes I've watched so far to be very engaging, funny, and real. I adore Sean Hayes, and Linda Lavin does a good turn as his rather overbearing mother, but they do need to tone down her character a bit, because she's too much of a cliché'. I like the work ensemble, and except for 'the boss', it feels real to me, as I am familiar with that field of work, and I can totally understand the frustrations. I see almost no similarity between Sean's Will & Grace character and the character in this series. Whereas we've seen this particular plot line before (single dad raising his adolescent child )there is enough fresh material in this to keep me interested for quite some time.
I have faith that this is a show that will grow, and get better...and I'm rooting for it to succeed! :)
