Sons and Daughters - revisited

[IndyTom]

My wife and I love this show. :up:

I know some of you gave up on it after a couple of weeks, but it will really grow on you. Give it a chance, please! :)

Well last night may of been the last change to watch it
There is still 1 unaired episode and its not on ABC's schedule
and since the show has been getting horrible ratings I wouldnt be surprised if it didnt air at all

[DevdogAZ]

I've watched the first 8 eps. It's started to grow on me, but I won't be totally broken up if it doesn't make it.

I am still enjoying it. I hate it when shows I actually start watching from the beginning don't make it. And then I skip something like Scrubs because it seems like a silly little comedy and it's getting rave reviews and still on [what] 5 years later?

[IndyTom]

Looks like it's getting the boot and the wife on S&D has already signed on to do a pilot with Tom Cavanagh (of Ed and Love Monkey, er, fame).

Just as long as Gillian Vigman is somewhere on TV next season. She is truly hawt!!

Thought episodes 1&2 were amusing but I totally fell for the show during episodes 3&4. The more you know the characters, the better it gets, and I absolutely love it now.

I've been guessing that it was never going to last since they keep airing two episodes at once, as if they're just trying to burn them off.

I liked the show to begin with, but it just keeps on getting better and better. It's one of my favorites now.

I've also watched it from the start, and I was slow to warm up to it. But I thought the last 2 eps on Tuesday were by far the best yet. It really seemed like it was starting to hit a groove there.

The Show totally grew on me. Shame to see it go, but I won't shed any tears....I guess I'm just jaded to the whole cancelled show thing after Enterprise and Arrested Development. No amount of petitions or clamoring will turn a Network Execs head like the almighty dollar.

[BLeonard]

I've been watching since the beginning and also was unsure at the start but am now finding it to be one of my favorite shows. I find I can both laugh and cry (at least during the last couple of episodes). I'm starting to care about the characters and it seems like another quality show. I guess I should have been able to predict it will be canceled. Quality doesn't ever seem to last long in television.

I agree here; I watched 4 eps that I had saved up last night and each one was better than the last. The scenes with Cameron and Liz I think are really funny. For a dorky guy and a beautiful woman they have decent chemistry.

Of course this means it will be canceled. Why is it that everyone with good taste reads these groups... and that there are so few of us :p

That's funny. I also watched eps 7-10 last night (I thought I'd seen 7-8 previously but I was only up to 6) and found myself really connecting with the characters. It's a good show, very different than a normal sitcom, almost more like a half-hour drama with a little more humor than most. I still don't think it's anything like Arrested Develoment and comparisons that were made were probably unfair to both shows. I'd almost equate it more to the feel of Ed, but with a family dynamic.

I love this show....cameron is wicked histerical...and whatta wife. Jeff's girlfriend (formerly Al i think> of Step by Step) is flipping amazingly hot.

I'd almost equate it more to the feel of Ed, but with a family dynamic.I agree with you; back in the first thread I compared it to Sports Night and I still think it has that kind of feel to it, moreso than AD, although obviously the setting and subject matter are completely different. But the drama/comedy combination I think is very similar.

[bigrig]

Holy crap - I just watched the latest two episodes and they were hilarious! Way more laughs than I've had for all the previous shows combined.

The party was great...where the guys don't believe Cameron is married to the "minx". "I hit that on a daily basis! Well...weekly, maybe, or bi-weekly..." :D

And Whitey fighting the guys outside the house was pretty amusing, too.

"Goodnight Aunt Gay!"

heh...

[rizzlebizzle]

I started watching this show from episode one and liked it. Knowing the partial improvisation exists drew me in because of Curb, and I think ti makes you watch it a little differently. I think the characters are great and find it easy to connect with them.

I have been keeping up with its ratings and it really is doing poorly, and each week it comes back is a little bonus!

OH, and I agree, that wife is HOT!

[bigrig]

No bonus this week...some new "Ten Commandmants" mini-series is on instead. :mad:
