I posted my review of FOX's "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" yesterday. Now it's your turn. I couldn't stand it, but you may have felt more kindly about it, had more built-up affection for Jaime Pressly and/or Katie Finneran (or Chad L. Coleman from his "Wire" days), or genuinely found it funny.
What did everybody else think? Will you be tuning in next week?
Also, if anyone watches "The Exes" on TV Land tonight, feel free to discuss it here if you want.

December 1, 2011 at 2:27AM EST Reply to CommentCouldn't even finish the first episode. 10 minutes into the show, I just had to turn it off. I gave this show a chance because of Jaime Pressly but even her sex appeal could not save the show and it's horrible writing and shit back story. FOX isn't even trying anymore. Cancel this show immediately.

December 1, 2011 at 4:50AM EST Reply to CommentI thought the first ten minutes were bearable. Of course not good, but far more tolerable than, say, Last Man Standing or Whitney, which I couldn't stand even a few minutes of. Then it became downright awful and I understood the venom.

December 1, 2011 at 8:48AM EST Reply to CommentI didn't find it awful, just blah. I never laughed but I smiled involuntarily a couple times. And I only actively hated the characters when Katie Finneran was being especially pathetic.
I thought Jamie Kennedy was actually good in her scenes with Kevin Rahm. Her getting flustered when he said he cared about her was the closest it came to being funny, so I guess that could be a good relationship going forward.
Jake Jamie Kennedy is in this? Dear God.
