Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

DramaticLicense This isn't the strongest television effort ever, but it is a pretty solid sitcom. It seems to get better as the season goes on. I think the disappointment is twofold: 1) It could never live up to the movie. 2) The sitcom was going through a major revolution during this time. This is a classical sitcom in the mold of the 70's, 80's, and 90's and as sitcoms started to evolve from 3 camera to 1, I think user tastes may have been changing.All this said, I am disappointed it didn't get at least a full season or two, but it is worth watching. I picked it up for $5 at Walmart or somewhere similar. It's definitely better than most things in the bargain bin.

Daniel (TERMINATOR180) First of all, pertaining to the comment suggesting that all negative comments should be disregarded, I don't think the visitors to this website need to be told what they can and cannot read.Second of all, this show reeked of cheap humor, one-liners, and funny hair styles (all of which had been done before, too many times)Third, I don't think CBS needed another show filled with old jokes that should've been retired long ago. Still Standing fits that profile just fine.The last thing I want to say is that this show was WORSE than Still Standing, which is pretty awful in and of itself.My Rating: 0/10 (AWFUL)

Syl My Big Fat Greek Life could have worked if they allowed it too evolve on its own in time. Sadly canceled by CBS due to poor ratings! It was aired on Sunday nights and not the Monday nights during the comedy lineup. When will networks learn to give comedies a chance like in the past, I could name several shows like All in the Family, Married with Children, Cheers, just to name a few that did not have great ratings in the beginning but they become decent funny shows. Unlike dramas, comedies are a lot harder to gain a solid audience. I remember the good old days of CBS' Monday nights with shows like Kate & Allie, and Newhart. Maybe, syndication is where comedies can thrive without the network pressure. I remember watching sitcoms like Mama's Family and Charles in Charge in syndication after their network years.

eahoover I happened to be watching "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" the same night as the first episode aired. First of all, besides Toula's name changing, the series doesn't exactly start where the movie leaves off. In the movie, Gus gives the couple the house at the wedding reception, but in the series he gives it to them after the reception. The movie ends with them living in the house and having their 6-year old. Also, the movie has their house as the one next door to the parents, but the series has the house across from the restaurant.Overall this has some humorous moments. I don't think it will last long - it seems like a Greek takeoff on "Everybody Loves Raymond", only with a larger family.
