Friends With Better Lives

[Majingir]

Seems like one of the shows CBS is trying out as the replacement for HIMYM(especially since it did air right after HIMYM ended cause they wanted fans of HIMYM to stick around for the new CBS show).

I haven't watched it yet,but it's on my DVR. For those who have seen it,you think it's good? Whats good/bad about it? And do you see it being a show that stays on the air,or might it just be another CBS failed comedy?

I watched it. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't anything noteworthy or unique either. James Van Der Beek's character gave me a couple of laugh-out-loud moments, as did a couple other things. Brooklyn Decker is scorchin' hot. Zoe Lister-Jones is annoying as ****.

I doubt it sticks around since it's not very unique, but it might. I'll watch the next episode.

Same thoughts. Nothing spectacular, but better than most new sitcoms. I'll keep watching it just for Brooklyn Decker probably.

I lasted 15 minutes and then had to turn it off.

I didn't even watch any of it, but man, Brooklyn Decker may pull me in for at least a few viewings.

Reminded me of 'Rules of Engagement' (which CBS cancelled last year) more than it did HIMYM.

Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing lol. Cause Rules of Engagement wasn't really that good of a show. It had a good cast for the most part, just horrible stories and even worse schedule(it was basically the show CBS put in the spot of any show that got cancelled on CBS,and they basically did that for 7 straight years!)

Recorded it...we'll watch it eventually when we have time. We like Van Der Beek from the last show he was on, but not too excited overall.

Second episode was actually pretty funny.

The show is heavily, and probably unnecessarily sexual but I guess that's what sells.

Yeah, my wife and I thought it's been kinda funny so far. I'm hoping after a couple eps they tone that down a bit and get into a stride....we'll see.
