*cute, good clean family fun*
We like this one. Good, clean family fun. She is the old lady on the new doctor crew, making rounds and using that "old people" knowledge to help her fellow doctors out. The show's first season still needs to work on storyline and character development.
*Update... In May 2020, the series was canceled after one season. Too bad.
My Score 7/10.
How did Patricia Heaton went from Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle to this?
After 3 episodes, I give up. This show is so awful. The canned laughter is horribly timed and often inserted when there is no humor present. The writing is juvenile and lazy, absolutely no creativity - they basically recycle the same 2 jokes (”omg, Carol is old” and “white people are the worst”) over and over again. Truly ground breaking stuff.
The characters are caricatures, they are literally saying how they feel and they are totally typical characters, like from casting playbook:
the standard rich guy who doesn’t want anyone to know he’s rich;
stereotypical butch lesbian with negative attitude, she also an ethnic woman who got in because she is ethnic and her only purpose on the show is to shout, “I’m ethnic!!!!!”;
the gorgeous doctor who is full of himself;
there is no in-between for Heaton’s character - she is either acting too giddy and foolish for a grown woman, or she saves the day. And it’s going to get old fast if all the episodes involve Carol assigned the boring job but she finds something that experienced doctors missed and become the hero.
The writes should make the characters people, not archetypes. Also, I don’t like how the actors come off as acting in a stage play, it seems like they are reading cue cards.
Only really watched this to support Ashley Tisdale. The first two episodes aren't funny at all and the laugh track is nauseating. I really love the cast though, particularly Patricia Heaton, so I may have to stick this one out

I like it! I swear think some people’s jobs are to post negative reviews on shows. Every single show has people like you trashing it in the reviews. Go watch something else if you don’t like it. So annoying!
