Anyone else going to watch this? I've been hesitant (to uninterested) but I'm trying to be open-minded because the newer previews look pretty funny.

I liked it! The pilot is on Hulu, so I watched it last week. It's really funny, especially if you watched Dawson's Creek. James Van Der Beek is my favorite thing on the show, but there are a lot of funny things going on.

Good! I'm banking on the Beek because so far I just feel badly for the little girl.

Dawson is the moon! Keep out of reach of babies! Van der beek!
K that did get better. I'll stick with it!

Recorded on my dvr! The commercials made me laugh, so I'm looking forward to watching it tomorrow.

I watched it last night and thought it was really funny.

I'm generally a major sitcom hater, but since this seemed a bit darker than the usual network 30 min fare, I set the DVR. And I really liked it! Kristen Ritter and the Beek are pretty damned funny.

Just watched this on hulu, and I thought it was funny! I loved the part with the whipped cream bikini. Van Der Beek playing himself is freaking awesome.

I was never a Dawson fan, but I love James Van Der Beek in this.

She'd be considered a psychopath in real life. Maybe I'll pull out my DSM and diagnose her!

I love to diagnose tv characters.

Totally just did a spit take

This is a lot funnier than I thought it would be, and even Brian lulzed a few times. I never got into Dawson's Creek but I like James Van Der Beek's other work*, I just hope they don't keep up the frequency of the Dawson jokes because it'll get old reeeeeal fast.

I wasn't as into the second episode, but I did enjoy parts. The hiding behind a chub jokes almost made me too upset to enjoy the James Franco bit.

Same, that was annoying. Ugh. I could do with an entire James Van Der Beek ep.

I kept wondering who Chloe's dad was. He looked so familiar, like an 80s star or something. Then, I realized he was Riley from The Torklesons! YES!

OH MY GOD MO! The Torklesons! Best freaking ever! Thank you for reminding me of that amazingness.

Little girl from Moneyball, no?

Yep.

This was so much better than last week. I was starting to think the pilot was a fluke, but this showed it wasn't. Still don't really like the blonde yet, though. And Van Der Beek's assistant needs to be on more.

RandiJM · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 9:30 pm

Yeah we totally need more Van der Beek and his assistant. I want to see him carrying him over puddles and tickling his forearm while watching tv!

pepperpot · **Posted:** Thu May 03, 2012 12:02 pm

I absolutely hated last week's episode (with the foster kid), but last night more than made up for it!! Holy crepe, that was hilarious!!!

"Oh, look, June's dead. Hope you're happy."
"I'd offer you breakfast, but you didn't make any."
The bar scene were Chloe taught June how to have confidence was awesome.
Kevin Sorbo at the wedding.
Everything James Van der Beek did was perfection. I may have to rewatch the episode so I can see the clips from his "Guy Ritchie movie" again!

RandiJM · **Posted:** Thu May 03, 2012 12:06 pm

I really liked last night's too! I am obsessed with JVDB now, ahhaha. It was great!

So am I! I never watched Dawson's Creek and I had no idea who JVDB was, but he's my favorite part of this show!

I totally love this show. I was a HUGE Dawson's Creek fan but hated Van Der Beek (Pacey 4eva!) and I think he is pure genius. This was a fantastic career move for him.

RandiJM · **Posted:** Sun May 20, 2012 1:19 pm

I kinda love this show too. I'm watching last week's and I'm hysterical at Krysten at "You had sex in my room?!" "Yes, June, and so can you!"

Nebraskalaska · **Posted:** Sun May 20, 2012 2:45 pm

I love this show. I didn't think I would.

Funny side note, JVB is my friends cousin and they look a whole lot a like, so that's weird. This is the first time I've ever seen him in anything.
