    Wow!I only watched the first 9 episodes and that is 9 too many!I have not one good thing to say about this show! Nothing was interesting to me; not the acting, not the story and not the characters.The cast are annoying, especially Sean Hayes who just seems to be playing Jack McFarland 2.0!It actually kind of angers me that a show like this is still on the air when plenty of better shows are cancelled in a short amount of time!!Good news: NBC has cancelled the show after 14 episodes due to low ratings!!

    We really liked this show and are so sad to learn it's being canceled. It was laugh out loud funny without being crude. There was no designated "sex maniac." The relationships were genuine and caring. The acting and chemistry was great. Sean's timing was always impeccable. The co-stars of his mother, best friend, co-worker and boss were wonderfully portrayed. I challenge anyone to watch more than one episode and consider it anything other than a good, solid sit-com. Unlike many so- called sit-coms today, you will laugh more than once and walk away a little lighter for it. We will miss the sweet, innocent relationships and stories this show shared. We wish there were a way we could save Sean Saves the World!

    I used to be a lover of sitcoms back in the days of Friends, Will and Grace, Cheers, and even as a little kid watching Taxi and Mash. Sometime after Friends and Will and Grace, it seems the sitcom died. For me, Will and Grace was all about Jack and Karen! None of the rest of the cast mattered, anyone could have played them and it didn't make a difference to me. It's the same with Sean Saves the World. It's all about Sean Hayes and Tom Lennon. They are both incredible and their different comedic styles create a wonderful melange of funny. I do like Linda Lavin too but the rest of the cast can be anyone. Megan Hilty was great in Smash, but comedy is sooo obviously NOT her forte. She is the only one I would change because it makes the comedy seem forced and drags the better actors down. She should stick to singing. I also love the sets. Love the bold colors. The set design of his home is bold and gorgeous. The other only other comedy show I'm into right now is Dads. I may be in the minority but Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family just bore or annoy me. So I'm sooo glad "Jack's Back!" Please don't let it get canceled.

    First of all I just want to say this is a sitcom, and not a contender for the Oscars, people seem to be being rather harsh, that being said...Sean Hayes plays a very willing father to an estranged daughter (Samantha Isler) who was left in his care after the mother thought she needed to move on and when the daughter objected, left her with her father, oh and btw Sean the father is gay which immediately opens us up to a whole bunch of comically awkward scenarios!Helping Sean with his new charge is his very stern mother Lorna (Lida Lavin) and his very outgoing, slightly loose female best friend Liz (Megan Hilty), the mother being a little too strict, the friend being a little too easy-going but between the three of them they try to do their best for the young lady, an adolescent 14-year-old with all the baggage that comes with this very strange and new situation, but they handle it with smiles love and laughter, lots of laughter!The show bounces between Sean's home life and work life... Work being trying to run an online retail store which has recently acquired a new and very strange owner Max, played by the wonderful Thomas Lennon, who just loves to make Sean's life both difficult and awkward. Fortunately to help Sean along at work is his aforementioned best friend Liz and their very funny co-worker Hunter (Echo Kellum)Now I'm not going to say that this show is original, some might even call the characters cliché, nonetheless it works! I was grinning from ear to ear throughout the two episodes I have seen so far, Sean Hayes has a very big fan base and as long as people do not expect him to be Jack, I think they will be pleasantly surprised by the witty humor, comically awkward situations and family bonding that this show seems to give out quite generously.Both my wife and I have agreed that of all the new shows that have started this fall season of 2013 this is definitely a winner and we wish to see it continue bringing smiles to our faces!
