I couldn't feel any of the main characters for any reason. Elise Neal's hair was more than a tad off, and I couldn't cheer for her concerns about her relationship. Lisa Raye was dressing on the hoochie side (but not a complete hoochie), but she portrayed the baby mama drama well. Duane Martin's acting skills are being overwhelmed by the fact that he is trying too hard to project Will Smith's personality.
I kept watching for the "broke down Chris Rock" because he was funnier than Duane. I just hope guys don't start running around talking about "man up".
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one to catch, "let's get the basic structure then work out the details later". What 4 or 5 year old is really gonna understand that. The script needs some work, but this is the pilot, so they'll get a little slack. In the meantime, I'll stick with "Girlfriends" and "Half and Half".

I finally watched the show.
Comments:
1. Yes, Elise Neal is a tad bit bigger in some areas. I feel this now balances out the size of her head, which ALWAYS seemed large to me.
2. Chris & Tony Rock look nothing alike to me.
3. When did Lisaraye start to use a last name?
4. I agree with what jojapeach said about Duane trying to hard to act like Will.
I'll watch another episode to see if it grows on me.

I don't recall him saying how long he and Tia had been dating, but it seems like he said (wheen Neecy came to the studio to talk about giving it a try again) something about it had been a year and a half since she left him. Seems kinda quick though to meet someone, fall in love, and get engaged.
On a related note, for some reason I was glad she left him and it wasn't for something like him cheating. Don't ask me why. Did Sheree leave Will and did he and Jada hook up that fast? Seems like I heard she was supposed to be his "friend" first, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, it is kind of quick.
Does anyone have a problem with Tia and Duane Martin's character dating while he is still married?

I kinda like the show. I'll give it another try. When Living Single first started I wasn't feeling it too much and I thought it wouldn't last....  BOY WAS I WRONG!!! LOL
Hmmmm.....I didn't watch the Hughleys too much so I don't know the difference with Elise Neal.
I did catch the fact that they never showed Daryl actually signing the divorce papers and that him and Tia were dating while he is still married. I don't like that at all!
The boy is supposed to be 5 years old, but I'm 32 and I was like what did he say? I had to rewind the tape and hear it again. The boy probably said yes to keep it moving.
LisaRaye is good for the baby mama drama type. "Remember that baby, Mama may have you repeat in front of a nice judge one day."
Okay, is Tia the boy's kindergarten teacher? Or is she a teacher? And what does Neecy do besides give attitude to Tia and walk up in the house unannounced?
Okay I'm done venting now.

Shoot I thought Raye was her last name.......but I don't like the show at all.. How are you gonna get divorce papers and 10 minutes later because yo girl is pressuring you, you give her an engagement ring...........  . Did Jada put all that pressure on Will like that??? Did Jada go out and purchase a hideous couch just to mark her territory??? Does Sheree always walk around with tude???
Whatever, I aint wastin my Tuesday nights on that one, sorry Jada and Will........

I, too, didn't like how he got the divorce papers one minute and was proposing the next. I wasn't all that impressed. I personally think that Lisa Raye overdoes it when she is acting. It's like she is trying to hard. I may watch it a few more times, but I actually liked the show "Rock me baby" that came on after it better. I didn't really understand why Lisa and Elise had attitude towards each other. Maybe that will come out in subsequent episodes.

Too late, my boys and I have been saying that since "Training Day" hit the theatres("MAN UP!", "You wanna go to jail or you wanna go home?")
As for the show, I don't see it staying on the air too much longer.

The 2 little boys on the show last night were Jaden and Trey -- Will Smith's sons. I peeped the credits.

I recognized the older one as Trey, but didn't know that the other one was Jaden (didn't bother reading the credits).
It's official: Niecey's azz is GHETTO and so is her irritating sidekick.

Her sidekick had me foaming at the mouth last night with the way she was talking about her ex Hakeem.
