I Don't Love It, But I Don't Hate It Either
7 October 2012
I like the shows idea, and there are some funny parts of the show. I don't feel a chemistry between the two main characters, David and Bryan. They just don't come off as a couple in love and totally into having a family. Yes David is reluctant and a bit more reserved about being gay than Bryan, but even in scenes where they should be so natural if they have been together long enough to want a baby, it just doesn't feel that way. Goldie I like and I love her daughter Shania. The little girl is pretty funny. I am not sure how to take Goldie's grandmother. I feel offended by her comments about blacks, Jews gays etc. I know television has turned a corner with what is accepted, but I am not sure we are quite ready for Goldie's grandmother. One thing I base my liking of a comedy on is do i actually laugh out loud during the show. Alas not with this one. I don't think this one will make it but I want to see a little more of Shania before they give it the axe, so I will keep watching for a bit longer.
