So this was good. Quite good, actually. Definitely ABC's "best sitcom with an off-putting title" since Cougar Town.

Lots of potential there, I just hope it doesn't get buried in the ratings and has a chance to build on it.

Malin Akerman is perfect for the role.

Yeah, I watched this a week or so ago and loved it. I hope it lasts.

I enjoyed this as well. Way better than The Goldbergs, which I have no desire to watch again.

I liked "The Goldbergs" as well :P But this was way better.

The Goldbergs looked like a lot of tired 80s humor and Jeff Garlin yelling things. No thanks.

I wish Trophy Wife had been given the post-Modern Family berth. Super Fun Night is probably not long for this world.

You're right about The Goldbergs Libs :P. I thought it seemed like it could be cute so I gave it a shot but it didn't do anything for me.

Cute second episode. Bailee Madison is a much better fit than the actress who played the daughter in the pilot too.

Wait, they switched actresses? I hate when they do that but I do like Madison.

Yeah, I liked the second episode more than the pilot, though I did enjoy the pilot as well.

This show is lovely. Consequently, I'm expecting its cancellation any day now. Anger.

I love this show. Last night was hysterical, between Jackie's dating video to the whole '80s prom. I was dying when Phyllis Smith was in the bathroom with the lights going on and off ("Someone's in here...")

The Halloween episode is delightful. This show really has a chance to become THE NEXT GREAT FAMILY SITCOM if it's given the chance.

This show just keeps getting better. Thrilled it has a full season. I want an Emmy nomination for Marcia Gay Harden. Who knew she could be so funny after a career of mostly dramatic films?

The opening scene with Kate trying to learn the guitar of playing the song "Danger Zone" from Top Gun was funny! When she learned it from the YouTube video, I was like, "I hope Kate will get it!" The lice episode with was pretty funny last night.

Diane showering Jackie with water was so funny!!!! Diane is such a conniving person! Kate and Jackie try to get Diane lice! Now that was even more funnier!

Jackie's "Misery" ploy last night was hysterical.

Hilarious episode last night. I'm gonna be sad when this gets canceled without ABC even trying it in a different time slot (i.e. AFTER MODERN FAMILY WHERE IT'S A PERFECT FIT) once. Their scheduling department is made up of lunatics.

Great episode last night and one of my favorites in the series!

At least ABC still gave a full season instead of cancelling it in mid-season (Back in the Game) or getting a partial back-order (Super Fun Night) despite it rarely gets any marketing and earns lower ratings than those two shows.

If TW does pull a surprise and gets renewed by ABC, they need to air this after Modern Family!!

If not, I just hope another network like TBS, USA, or ABC Family will pick up this wonderful sitcom for a second season!

The Muppets inspired airplane wedding last night was really sweet.

I love this show. The three actors playing the kids are some of the best around, especially little Albert Tsai who plays Bert.
