True Women Humor!

First of all, It's refreshing to watch a sitcom that doesn't take placein Southern California or the East Coast , for example; Hot inCleveland, Reba, even Last Man Standing.I'm a single mom who lives in Texas, Abilene to be exact, and thewriters have NAILED the major characters. Too bad the rest of you don'tunderstand. We didn't all grow up like the "Dallas" series. Hopefully, the writers will have time to develop our characters infuture episodes. So they aren't a Clair Hukstable "Supermom", that'spart of their charm. It's apparent they are maturing and theirstruggles are relative and honest to those of us who have been there.

A half hour I will never get back.

Horrible, insulting, and more filth from the Networks! Just what Iwanted to do in the first 5 minutes of the show...hear "ass" twice,"whore", crap, with my teenage son! And the token black man hates whiteguys that play golf, seriously...who wrote this?? And that is all inthe first 5 minutes! Oh, and lets advertise the movie "ALVIN" duringtwo moms swearing? What genius thought of this? Cast was fake, the bestfriend is fighting with her ex, he comes in, sits down and helpshimself to a stack of pancakes, spends $300 on an outfit that a"hooker" would wear but gets the limo for the dance? No plot, but toinsult single struggling moms! Nice job FOX to actually release this. Iwould describe this new TV show as one of the moms suggested in theactual program...."crap"!

So Funny!

I haven't laughed so hard at a TV show in a long time. I watch thiswith my mom who has raised four daughters to adulthood and she was intears laughing as we watched it. I can understand why others won't likeit, it definitely is more "woman humor" than anything so many may notbe able to relate so much. But if your a mother of a teenage daughter,was a teenage daughter, is a teenage daughter now, then you shouldtotally watch this show. I think people should give it more of achance. The reviews I've read on it haven't been great so far which isdisappointing, most of them calling out bad parenting--which is thefunny plot point that I think they all fail to get. All series need tostart out with some sort of problem. I'm rooting for this show, I hopeit has a good run.

Pilot episode

I like the idea of this series but I never know what pool of crap I'mdiving myself into when I watched the pilot. Like any other sanereviewers, I'm curious who write this junk? The pilot was dumb, racistand insulting to the very core, I can actually feel I'm losing braincell over this. I fast forward the episode after ten numb minutes andthe end was just as I guess, awful. I think it's sad as I do like the two lead actress Jamie and Katie,they are hilarious but the idea of watching divorce moms being afraidof their teenage daughters is a stretch and. I can't buy it and neithershould you! Let this networks know that we want 'quality' show notsomething that comes out of pile of bad comedy. Maybe I should startwatching Whitney and compare which one is worst, eh?

"I Hate My Teenage Daughter"

I like Emmy winner, Jamie Pressly from her best character to date, Joyin the hilarious, quirky comedy - "My Name is Earl". So I decided towatch "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" tonight. I didn't actually watch anyads for this show before, as I generally stay away from most promos andads for new shows, since I don't want to be spoiled.The premise, as the title suggests, is about two divorced women who arebest friends, and hating on their bratty teen daughters because theyare growing up to be just like the bullies that the moms had to sufferthrough high school. The characters are basically superficial, kind ofannoying and quite possibly the worst people ever, by what we have seenin the premiere. Two single moms with their own serious issues withself-confidence and parenthood deal with their awful kids inunbelievably tacky ways. They are joined to the hip and essentiallyraising their kids together. Being single parents, they have alwayswent along with their daughters whims. Now that their daughters areturning into bit***s, they want to make life difficult, by butting intotheir kids lives as much as possible.The dialogues involve crass words, which could come off as funny, ifexecuted well. Or in this case, just not good enough to incite genuinelaughter. The dads were predictable, unfunny and redundant. Thedaughters act their part well enough; that scene where they werebehaving like parents and their parents as immature kids was funny. Thecharacters who made me smile are, Annie (Jamie Pressly), her dialoguesare generally good when she isn't trying so hard to make us laugh.Incorporating her character's Christian school background as the showprogresses would probably get funnier. Also the lawyer/exbrother-in-law was good. Get him more screen time and make Nikki (KatieFinneran) less whiny, and this show could deliver.Rarely do I expect a comedy to fire on all cylinders in the premiereepisode. The first few episodes of nearly every comedy show are wobblyand fail to get any real laughs. The first episode of "IHMTD" isunremarkable, not quirky or different enough, just plain tacky andborderline offensive. I will give this show another 3 episodes to findits feet. If it doesn't get better, its headed for cancellation, whichwould be a shame because Jamie really deserves a good vehicle.

HA HA HA HA ha haa haarrrrrrr

OK, I know that I really like Jaime Pressly because she is simply HOT,HOT, HOT, but she can really be bloody funny and this show is a reallygood comedy. I haven't seen Katie Finneran in much comedy, but betweenthe 2 of them, you are going to need a thick towel on your chairbecause you are going to wet your self laughing. Who would have thoughtthat you could take the horror and struggles of going through a younggirls teenage years and make it an appealing comedy for the family. Igive this show (I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER) 8 out of 10, but only sothere is some room in case they make a few episodes even better.Happy Viewing from Mike.PS: if you don't find this show funny, see your Doctor immediately,because you have either lost your hearing, eyesight or your mind :-)
