Honestly it looks kinda so-so, but with that cast I'll definitely give it a shot. Can't have enough John C. McGinley in the world.

I liked this one. Not amazing by any means, but a lot of Bill Lawrence shows kinda take a few episodes to get there. Always good to have Steve Carrell in anything, and John McGinley doing this full time is why he's very limited in new Scrubs. Tami Taylor popping in as Carrell's "famous alum ex wife" should be nothing but great, because she's always great.

I'll give it the season.

Really enjoyed the first episode. I love the look, vibe, campus setting, etc, and of course Carell in the lead. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I know this is sacrilege to some of his fans here, but I just have a hard time with Steve Carell in lead roles like this. He just doesn't seem to bring a whole lot to it, even if some of the other characters seemed pretty interesting. Not sure I'll hang in with this one.

I am really enjoying this new series so far, but one thing is bothering me. Women clearly love Professor Jaime Tart. So, why is his taste in them so pedestrian? Neither his wife or young girlfriend make sense to me.

Through two episodes I'm really liking it so far. My only "complaint" is that does not at all feel like an HBO comedy. It definitely has more of an Apple/Hulu vibe. The closest HBO show I can compare it to is, I guess, Divorce from last decade, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, which only me and like eight other people watched. This has way more charm, though.

WB finally got tired of Apple taking all their Bill Lawrence wins.

This show should have gone to Apple+, really. (And WB has made many pretty pennies off selling his shows to them.)

Just wanted some clout out of that overall deal.

I thought last night's episode (episode three) was the best of the season so far. I laughed out loud two or three times, and it's really starting to find its groove overall.

Episode 3, did it drive anyone else crazy that he was called before a disciplinary board for using the term "white whale"? This is a liberal arts college and a writing course, but none of the students or faculty will call out that the blonde girl is crazy, and ignorant, for not understanding the metaphor?

He still gets a "verbal warning"? I guess we are to understand Dean Cameron is supposed to be lazy and incompetent, but can somebody like his peers stand up and just dismiss such garbage?

The "slip and grab"… I could maybe buy as requiring a second look.
