    It's the lives of three couples. Dave (Kyle Bornheimer) and Julia (Christine Woods) are the relatively 'normal' couple. His best friend Vance (David Walton) has a volatile relationship with Amy (Mary Elizabeth Ellis). Julia's brother Rex (Hayes MacArthur) has a new-age relationship with Leigh (Olivia Munn) and consider themselves the superior couple.I really like all the actors and I want to like the show a lot more than I actually did. I think that the mix of characters aren't exactly right. It's too much to have everybody acting wacky. I think Christine Woods should play more normal and transfer her craziness to the other two girls. The 'normal' central couple shouldn't be so wacky. They should derive their comedy through other ways. Olivia Munn is not the problem especially if she can act against a normal character. The jokes seem funny but they're not really hitting me right.

    NO NO NO...I can't believe NBC has canceled this gem of a show. It was completely different from any other show on TV! It was fast moving, had great cuts and editing, but best of all were the actors and writing. Each one brought a wonderfully wacky character to life. The lines were so witty and snappy. And each couple was so unique. From Rex and Leigh - the perfect couple, to Amy & Vance - the wacky couple and then Dave & Julie - the normal couple. Vance was my favorite character - he was a riot. I'll miss him!I had gotten a bunch of my friends to watch this and now everyone is a great fan. BOOOOOOO to NBC!!!

    This show got a little better as it went along, which isn't saying much, but it's already being pulled from the schedule (April 2011). This show is not as bad as the stinker that followed ABC's "The Middle" on Wednesday nights, titled "Better With You" (apparently canceled also). But speaking of "The Middle", I had to go do a little research to make sure the actors playing Axl on that show and Vance on this show were not related. They look eerily alike and their comedy acting is identical. Someone should team them up to play brothers in the future, or teenage and twenty-something versions of a single character. It's weird! Also, the second I heard the theme song for this show, I knew it had to be a New Pornographers tune. I was close as A. C. Newman from the New Pornographers wrote and performed this tune. Sadly, it's the best thing about the show. What is with all these shows like this and "Traffic Light" on Fox and that rotten "Better Wtih You"? Are they all just trying to be "How I Met Your Mother"? That's setting your sights low!

    Any bad review of this show has been of the pilot and though I found it funny, pales in comparison with the rest of the season. You may not like Olivia Munn but her character fits her perfectly. The same can be said for the rest of the cast, helping the show move along with fun energy. Now the network wants to replace it with the Paul Reiser show? a bootleg Curb your Enthusiasm? I just don't see how a show about dealing with how old and pathetic you are trumps a TV lineup targeted to college age crowds.Hopefully its just the end of the season and it will return in the fall and I set up an IMDb account to cry over nothing at all.
