it hurts me both physically and emotionally that this show exists. I scroll through the thoughts, opionions and reviews of others regarding this nonsense and am utterly amazed that an apparently large numnber of seemingly educated, insightful people have been taken in by the wooden characters, idiotic dialogue and ( can it even be called) "acting" as attempted by the majority of the cast. Krya Sedgewick, a long-time favorite, tries, bless her heart and i'm willing to forgive her eagerness to make a bad, no wait, a horrible, no wait, an abominable show, bearable. Other than her character, the actors playing her children could ( and should) be replaced by high-functioning chimpanzees. I can only guess that these two actors must having intimate familial relationships with the casting director (who needs to be reminded on a weekly basis) that this is not the 7th-8th grade spring comedy at Lakesside's Herbert Hoover MIddle School. Ms Sedgewick’s neighbor/landlord should be studied as the end result of a society created by dumping foul, illiterate criminals onto an island without birth control. Lastly dearest Sherri Shepherd, who hopefully is medicating herself into a dull numbness so that her great comedic talent (so evident in 30 Rock) is chewed up and spit out here with writing that should also be taken over by those chimpanzees
