    I fricking LOVE that show! I PVR it so I can watch it myself every Wednesday morning, and CRY!!! I relate...probably to at least the mom, or even the daughter growing up.

    You can see it on Demand to catch up probably, or on NBC's website.

    Put it this way: If you're the type that doesn't like to get the Feelz...don't watch it. I cried three times first episode. Second episode wasn't so bad, then BANG, they hit me in the heart again!! (I cry easily tho, Christmas commercials, birthday cards, happy books, sweet songs, you get the pic!)

    The last one had me laughing, but yes, the producers are masters at getting those "moments" in there. It's something different, that isn't obnoxious as all heck.

    Exactly...little swearing, no boobs, drugs at a minimum!! (I laffed my FACE off when they were sitting on the couch eating brownies and got busted by the little girl..."Those are adult brownies!!!"

    The brownies killed me lol. What a cast of characters, every single one is perfect for the part.

    Agreed..this quickly became my new fave series, even before the first episode. The story line is too soft for my old guy, so I PVR it and watch alone each week :)

    Can't we all relate to Kate though? I want to yell at the screen that she doesn't have to be miserable and eat bland food to lose weight, and at her boyfriend that he's not taking a 'diet break' but on track to regain all the weight (did you see that dessert? At least 1500 calories in there!).

    Kevin gets on my last nerve. I really needed for Randall to rattle his cage for him, and he didn't.

    I can kind of relate to Randall in a way...I was separated from my siblings when I was 4 years old and always felt left out/alone/different. And because my family was broken, back in that day people treated you very differently.

    Back in that day, they did for sure. I've never met my biological ....*ahem* father...and I use that term loosely, so that whole bit hit home for me too.

    I can't really relate, but I love the show. It is an excellent replacement for Parenthood.

    My wife and I absolutely love that show. We DVR it and watch it later in the week. I'm usually the one telling her I want to sit down and watch it. I can definitely relate to Kate and her boyfriend. I think Kevin will grow as a character and will eventually come around. Randall is a stressed out ball of nerves. I'm waiting to see what happens to the Dad...
