Anyone watch this yet? Is it worth checking out, or is it totally geared towards women?

It's solid. Definitely has that 30 Rock feel.

my brother liked it quite a bit.

my SO finished it a Sunday and she was cracking up fairly often.

I'll get around to it maybe this next weekend.

Not a real fan of Dfwan (Titus)

He was ok on 30 Rock in real small doses but so far through 3 episodes, too much over the top gay guy.

I was hopping for an edgier sitcom than 30 Rock since it isn't on TV, but so far this seems geared more towards a family show.

I'll report back later once I finish the show.

Anything written by Tina Fey is bound to be a bit funny.

Very watchable and has some great one-liners like 30 Rock. So far, it's not my favorite show, but I definitely enjoy it.

Watched the pilot today. Didn't really like it.

I'll give it another episode or two before I write it off.

Not quite as well written as 30 rock. The actress that plays the spoiled daughter is really bad. Overall I would say check it out if you liked 30 rock.

I've always wondered, what's it like to hate America?

Kimmy and the very vain but very insecure Mrs. Voorhies, on the possibility that Mr. Voorhies is having an affair:

Mrs. Voorhies: Maybe I AM crazy.

Kimmy: No, Mrs. Voorhies. You have to listen to your gut.

Mrs.Voohries: I don't have a gut, you mother----

10 episodes in now.

I don't understand the love some of you have for this show.

I love Ellie Kemper as much as the next guy and I have a red head fetish and even with that, I don't like this show.

I am not some Tina Fey hating conservative. I just finished a 30 Rock rewatch a couple of weeks ago and I usually watch that show twice a year.

I think I have laughed at Titus once. He was much funnier in very small doses as Dfwan.

Carol Kane is horrible. I mean really bad.

Jane K is playing Jenna with kids and so far she hasn't been given anything funny to say.

The budget must be pretty small because so far, that is about it for the regulars. The daughter, cleaning lady and the assistant aren't even worth mentioning.

All Tina did was take Jenna, Dfwan and Kenneth and toss them together. Kimmy is just a female Kenneth even down to having weird mental problems. Donkeyism for Kenneth and Sleep Walking murder for Kimmy.

Not to mention both characters having problem with Reverends.

I'll finish the season but I probably won't have any interest in a season 2, if it gets picked up.

It's good, but not great. The writing could be better. I never get tired of looking at Jane Krakowski though... oh, and I like the uncut theme song.

It's good for a couple 3 chuckles and maybe one real laugh per episode... which is better than 90% of "comedies" currently on air right now.

Half of the joy is just the innocence of somebody who has had basically their growth stunted thrown fast forward.

This show hs been completely underwhelming. The writing at times is clever but that's about it. Ellie Kemper's wide-eyed naïveté grows tiresome, quickly. And where 30 Rock had interesting characters, this show is woefully bare in that regard. I'd give it about a 4 out of 10 with 10 being excellent.

I've been watching it a little bit. Everyone being too harsh on it is taking the show too seriously I think. It's not great, but I also don't think it's meant to be great. It's meant to be like 30 rock with a few cheap laughs and entertainment.

It's something good to watch when there is nothing else on tv.

This show is not even remotely close in quality to 30 Rock. Really. Not close.

It is a poor mans 30 Rock with 1/3 the cast and none of the laughs.

I don't think anyone is taking it too seriously. It just stinks.
