I was looking forward to this and was cheering for it to work. Wow. Talk about a disappointment. (Note the 4 stars.)
The original was a staple in my home - and brilliant! The laughs were consistently rolling by, subtle, smart and witty. Yes, some were slapstick, but not ALL of them were like on the new version.
The new version is a bad copy. Really bad. It takes slapstick to a new level - and that's hard to do, and not at all attractive or appealing.
Then there's the laugh track. PLEASE. OMG! It is singularly AWFUL. The show treats its audience as if we are idiots who don't know when to laugh and need a LOUD massive reminder. We do not.
We are smart, fun loving people who were a built-in audience for this program! And they threw us all away by not providing a quality show. Everyone lost on this one.
