We liked that the main character decided that Suburbia wasn’t all bad. Looking down on it snootily would get old, cold, and cynical (which it pretty much did with the bra scene). It should balance out the mockery with some heart. However, most of the funny parts were in the trailer. We want to see the second episode as soon as possible. Not sure about Jeremy Sisto as the dad, but the main character, Tessa, is cast just fine.
Episode Grade: B
Happy Endings - "Blax, Snake, Home"
Happy Endings - "Blax, Snake, Home"
This episode showed why it survived and not Perfect Couples or Better With You. The difference? This show is actually funny and we like the characters. Our only complaint is that it all felt a little frantic, but, overall, we are ready for the year of Penny. This has really redeemed Elisha Cuthbert for us. She's much better in comedies.
Episode Grade: A-
Modern Family - “Phil on Wire”
Modern Family - “Phil on Wire”
It didn't keep our attention and didn't feel cohesive.
Episode grade: C+
Up All Night - “Working Late and Working It”
Up All Night - “Working Late and Working It”
The topic of "couples not being sexy enough for their partners after the baby" was broached with humor. We didn't like Ava destroying her studio a little after the phone call. It felt a little loud and unfunny. However, one of us will pretty much always love Maya Rudolph so she enjoyed that scene.
Episode grade: B+ for the music video alone
