This sitcom is well-written and well-acted. It's about a long-married couple, an engaged couple and a single man.David Spade is excellent as the narcissistic single man, who loves casual sex. Wendi McClendon-Covey is excellent as Liz, although she's only in a minority of episodes.

This totally uninspired sit-com is on all the time on the few stations I can get on antenna TV right now, and that's depressing. The show is depressing, because it is just hate filled and without inspiration.There are two couples and two single guys. One of the single guys is an absolute creep, and the other is a very dapper Asian man who works for him. They provide really what little comedy there is in the show.The others are supposed to be regular people, I suppose, but the guys are nothing like "good old guys", particularly the older, stout one who tries to be funny in a dry way, but fails for many reasons. One of them is that in his low tone, it's impossible to hear what he's saying. Another is that when you can hear him, the line is poorly written. It's as though a gay guy is writing his lines.The script is the worst thing about the show. The people in the business are so out of touch with the world outside New York and California that they need to stop trying and let real talent in, but they are afraid of talent, as this show reveals (along with other shows).

the balance between characters types is the magic ingredient of this series success. than - the inspired manner to present the couple problem as challenges, mysteries and keys for a form or another of happiness. a seductive series with a seductive David Spader who represents the axis of the crisis. good humor, small pieces of drama, honest fresco of battle between sexes and successful puzzle of situations. beautiful option for married people, it has a special charm. and that is only the first step. than - the childish solutions, emotions and decision. a series about difficulties of grow-up. sure, an inspired one.

So this is okay to watch, average at best. The premise of the show being different stages of relationships seems quite smart going into it, but as you start watching you realise there isn't much new about this show.Patrick Warburton is great in this and to me is one of very few things that makes it watchable. Spade on the other hand, comes across very much like the poor man's version of Neil-Patrick Harris.I watched the whole of the first series only laughing out loud a few times at most. It seems like a good go-to programme if nothing else is on, but not something to go out of the way to watch.
