Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
It's not bad. Good background noise for me since I work from home during this pandemic. I'll say, that church episode that had the emotional ending was too soon. What was that, like episode 2 or 3? That shoulda been the season ender IMO. You gotta give shows time to breathe if you want the audience to feel an emotional tug with the characters. Especially a sitcom.

It just felt off.
Episode 1: Silly episode where we are introduced to the characters
Episode 2: emotional episode where we still barely know the characters
Episode 3: back to the silly episodes again
...bad flow.

Jamie tries to do the Eddie Murphy multiple characters thing but he doesn't pull it off as seamlessly but also doesn't seem to be giving the characters his all like prime, hungry, young Jamie would have.

But like I said, still a solid show and much better than 'Kenan' which is also doing the story trope of single, black father raising daughter(s) whose mom passed suddenly. What Jamie's show has working for it is its in the binge format so even though the show isn't great you can still find yourself knocking it out in a day or two. I gave Keenan's show a shot and by episode 3 I simply lost interest. It wasn't funny enough to dedicate me reserving time every Tuesday night to watching it.

You compared it to Eddie, as did I, but when reading your post, I thought that it reminded me more of Martin

Dunno I like it:manny:

It's kinda corny at times and Jamie and David definitely carry the show.

Show feels like something that would've been on UPN like 20 years ago but I thought it was aight.

Had the first episode on on the treadmill. Figure I could bang out 20 mins distracted by this...Spotify was promptly turned back on about 10 mins in :mjlol:

I’ll give it another shot next week

Show is hot garbage.

David Allen Grier doing a good job but the writing is corny, not funny, and the jokes seem dated, and used.
And why tf do they have a laugh track? :what:
This look like some of that Tyler perry bullshyt.
I was expecting better from Jamie

If you watch 70s/80s/90s sit coms, they are are all no longer than 23-24 mins. This was edited to fit with commercial breaks.

But to me, thas the perfect length nc there's little to no filler. Most Netflix shows are 28-30 mins, this shiw is like 25-26mins. Cutting out the fat does wonders for the quality and flow

welp. not wasting my hard drive space on this shyt to put on my Plex server.

Jamie shouldn't even be making shows at this point unless its at least on the level of The Morning Show or fukking Ozark where the script at least has some perceived depth. He's not some one trick pony. He can do more than comedy
