I got a chance to catch Enlightened last night was Laura Dern,
Luke Wilson and Charles Esten (Who�s Line Is It Anyway). It�s
about a woman who has a breakdown from a office fling that
failed. With the language and dialogue, this was definitely HBO.
I guess this is being pushed as a dark comedy. I didn�t see the
comedic aspects. I saw more drama that would fit on the Lifetime
channel minus the language. It didn�t do much for me. It�s
missing something. The Big C is a comedy and does a brilliant
job of balancing funny with serious issues. Much like MASH would
do. I�m not sure Enlightened has what it takes. It definitely
has the names, just not the writing.

I got to watch the hour premiere last night and thoroughly
enjoyed it. Reminiscent of Home Improvement, but different, I
had several laugh out loud moments. The chemistry is there. Good
writing. A show I will look forward to watching. Yaaaaa

Well, some shows are just what they are. Not deep and no need
for a recap. This be one of 'em.

I crossed off both [s]The Ultimate Fighter[/s] and[s] The X
Factor[/s] from my Watchlist. Just wasn't interested in either
one this season. So, that leaves me more room to try out some of
the other shows that have been suggested.

So right from the start, a critic's point of view... and we all
know how 'important' those thoughts are.
[quote]So apparently Tim Taylor had a secret family. Either
that, or nobody thinks we'll realize that Last Man Standing is
Home Improvement with daughters instead of sons. And groans,
instead of laughs.
Kicking off last night despite the fervent prayers of TV Guide
Magazine's Matt Roush, Tim Allen's new comedy tests the meaning
of both "new" and "comedy." Using the Improvement template as a
cookie cutter, the show casts Allen as a macho dimwit (sound
familiar?) with a manly job (right?), a hot sensible wife (of
course!) and a house full of smart-mouthed children. Only this
time, it's smart-mouthed daughters � and that's what passes for
an original idea around here.
Because ABC is counting on the folks who loved Improvement to
eat up Standing, they presented a pair of episodes last night so
we could get a full dose of parental doofery and "you're not a
real man unless..." jokes. Sorry, that stuff may have flown back
in the '90s when flannel was an acceptable look and Jonathan
Taylor Thomas had a career, but today it just feels Cro-Mag. In
fact, if it weren't such a reminder of one of ABC's other
comedic misfires, this thing could have been called Last Caveman
Standing.
Did you check out Tim Allen's return to TV? And will you be
coming back again next week?[/quote]
Well, seems the blogs (Watercooler
HTML http://www.tvguide.com/News/Watercooler-Last-Man-Standing-1038608.aspx#commentsDiv)<br
/>have a slight different view.

more good news about Last Man Standing
[quote]Despite negative reviews, people were curious to see Tim
Allen's new sitcom. Last Man Standing debuted to 12.95 million
viewers and nabbed a 3.5 rating among industry-prized
18-to-49-year-olds, overnight Nielsen ratings showed.
ABC sounded happy afterward, noting that the show achieved the
network's highest demo rating in the Tuesday at 8/7c time slot
in nearly two years.
The comedy had to face one of the three top-rated shows on
television, CBS' NCIS, which attracted 18.66 million viewers
(3.9), yet managed to improve substantially upon No Ordinary
Family's debut audience of 10.5 million.
Against NCIS and Allen's comeback, the first hour of The Biggest
Loser on NBC drew 5.34 million people and The CW's 90210 1.54
million. Fox pre-empted its usual lineup for the third game of
the ALCS between the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers, averaging
7.93 million fans.[/quote]
