Jason Lee is one of my main men (I only have 20), so I hope that this is a good series, but I'm not overly optimistic right now. Who knows.

The buzz is good but the ads I've seen didn't look that special. I'll still give it a try since it comes on before The Office.

Could be funny, but I get the feeling it'll get great reviews and strong response from audiences, and then get cancelled really soon. I don't know, it just looks like one of those shows.

They've been really pushing this one lately, and since it's got Jason Lee, I'm interested. Hopefully it will turn out to be a decent show, and not get canned soon into its run like Brody mentioned.

I'm seeing Jason Lee's face every two blocks on build boards

"I stole a car from a one legged girl"......."I'm sorry"

I think I might watch this.

I'll watch it if only for the the Mallrats/Chasing Amy re-pairing of Lee with Ethan Suplee

I think it's great. It hit the ground running and if it just holds this level it will be one of the funniest shows on network tv.

Pretty good. Frickin' Suplee is almost unrecognizable though.

I thought it was pretty good, with a few laugh out loud moments. Because they had to set up the whole premise, the actual help of the guy in finding someone seemed a bit rushed. Good supporting cast and Jason Lee was excellent as usual. I'll be interested to see what happens between Jason Lee and the maid, even though his brother called "dibs."

I thought it was really fun. I just wish it was thirty minutes longer.

I like it, I'll continue watching, despite being on at the same time as House

I'm not sure if they can sustain the level it was at in the pilot, but if I hadn't already seen the whole damn thing in previews already, it would've been one of the best pilots so far.

I know, I remember seeing him on the Without a Paddle DVD talking about the weight loss. Good for him.

Agreed. I thought it was hilarious. Really like the way it was done. I hope it holds up.

The second episodes not quite as good, but it's still the best new show on TV.

I'm not sure I'd buy that (though I don't have a different answer as of now), but it's good. You're right though, second wasn't as good as the first.
