The whole reason I even wanted to watch this was for the mini My Name Is Earl reunion with Jaime Pressly (Joy Turner) and Ethan Suplee (Randy Hickey).While it was okay to watch, it was pretty much another version of Mom, the CBS comedy starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney but I haven't watched that yet so I couldn't tell you if it is better or worse.The story was okay, there we some laughs and Pressly and Suplee were definitely the highlights of the cast as well as some of the guest stars like Jeffrey Tambor, Kurt Fuller, Steve Howey and Chris D'Elia.Whlie it was good to watch once, it isn't something I need to watch again and I'm not fussed that it was cancelled.

I'm honestly quite upset, and sad that this show got cancelled. I thought it was good. I found it quite different to a lot of other shows.This show is about a woman who was very wealthy, and had a great career, who loses her job, and has to move, with her teenage daughter, back into her Mother's house. She has to work at her brother's bar just to make ends meat. Now, back in her hometown, she, and her daughter, both have to get used to their new lives.Best part of the show: The fact that Randy, and Joy (from My Name Is Earl) are back together in the same show again.Overall, I give this TV show an 6 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Good.

Let's face it, expectations for a breakout comedy during the summer are low, but after binge- watching the first four (21min) episodes I really enjoyed this new show and want to see more from these characters. Centered around Jaime Pressly who plays a very believable pit bull exec with anger issues and Missi Pyle who delivers as the high school co-conspirator who never got out of town, there is a lot of there there in this adult oriented dramatic comedy.Shot on actual sets/locations, it feels much warmer than the typical small budget studio shows... and thankfully the smart female oriented humor doesn't require a laugh track to tell me when to laugh! Such a great TV cast, and their portrayal of these multi-dimensional characters are each superb. The whole Modern Family "talking to the camera thing" is getting a little old and could be accomplished by more creative means, but as it's the current fad in monologue injecting I'll put up with it. The idea of epic failure and having to move back home to start over seems dark and depressing, what better place to find humor? They don't shy away from dealing head-on with the psychological and sociological stresses, or Jennifer's rat-race separation anxieties. Having Jennifer's mother be a work at home shrink allows for dialog that is neither clinical or pandering. I feel that this show has the potential to be much more than a whimsical comedy. Hopefully the studio will throw some money behind Jennifer Falls and keep it going into the fall.

The new concept of only recently independent adult children horning in on an aging parent by surprise to live in the childhood home again to mooch off the parent while sulking is a recent phenomenon the press is labelling the boomerang kid. There is so much current press coverage and so much need to analyze or publicize this new trend that the premise of the show seems quite timely and well focused. The show could very well spin this idea to be a timely and commercial success. What has happened is it is poorly funded single camera meaning the visual is not up to, for example, the show slotted immediately before it on cable - HOT IN CLEVELAND, which may end up among the most successful half hour situation comedies in broadcast history I can't really bond to a single member of the tight ensemble cast or to any of the half hour comic plots which focus away from rather than toward the current news issue. A great opportunity by a forward thinking cable station which is totally wasted.
