Excelent TV show. Pleasant to watch and funny enough to keep you watching without pausing.

The intro had me a bit chicken. Leading with the characters quirks and the sarcastic banter had me thinking caricatures and callousness. No. They're all complete, likeable characters. The dialog is clever - many laughs - and it has a Schitt's Creek and Ted Lasso warmth. I wouldn't call the plots compelling, but each episode is a fun 30 minutes.

A funny show that gives off nostalgic 90s vibes. Funny parts, not game changing but just a pleasant surprise.

Steve Carell heads the cast as the popular writer of action/adventure pulp, who takes a job teaching at a university. This sets him up for all manner of gentle comedy, as he interacts with students, faculty and his own daughter, who’s teaching there too. It’s created by Matt Tarses, best known for “Scrubs” and Bill Lawrence, who’s credits include “Ted Lasso,” “Shrinking,” as well as “Scrubs.” With this pedigree you’d expect a charming new take on college life and politics. The entire ensemble has its charms and the humorous situations are boosted by the characters. Carell provides most of the comedy and “Scrubs” doc John C. McGinley chimes in with his aggressive style, while Annie Mumolo adds a fun off-key character as his secretary. While it is amiable and pleasant, this series doesn’t break new ground or prove as entertaining as the other shows created by this duo. (Review based on 9 out of 10 thirty-minute eps)

started out with a big 'meh' but after the characters have been further developed - the show is very entertaining. Steve Carell just captures the show - it is fun to watch him. All the supporting characters are good - and the writing is ok. It is a little - slight - but that doesn't mean it isn't a good watch...

Embarrassingly bad. Aside from Cougar Town, I’ve loved all of the Bill Lawrence series, but this one falls massively short. I feel the only ones giving this a great review are those who have such a love for Steve Carrel, likely from the office, that they convince themselves this is watchable. But Carrell hasn’t been good since the 2000s, his ego outgrew his ability to be likeable on screen.

Form your own opinion. Okay, I’m so glad I watched this. Not going to lie, I almost passed based on others reviews, but WHAT…I am blown away. I consider myself a tough laugh but I truly laughed out loud multiple times. Not sure why you guys are dogging on this so hard when **** first episode…of ten? Of course it needs to build and set up where it’s going. Glad I didn’t miss out on this, will be tuning in again next week. Shout out original content. Shout out not another reboot. You guys will complain about anything. Pop off, Rooster.

There were some good comedic moments in the pilot episode, and with Phil Dunster (one of the few bright spots in the last season of Ted Lasso) and Danielle Deadwyler, it's got a solid supporting cast. I'm optimistic about its potential!
