Perfect Couples

I signed up for an account only to comment on this title and to berate NBC for dropping this show. This was a terrific show, I was hooked from the "Perfect Health" episode on. To see some of the crap that was retained while this show fell by the wayside is preposterous!!

The dialogue and interactions between the characters were witty and semi-realistic which is more than I can say for many shows that did make the cut and evade cancellation.

I often wonder who is responsible for making the final selections for cancelling shows, I wonder if perhaps they are the same half wits behind IMDb's insistence that all reviews are of a minimum length of 10 lines. As if length denotes quality.

This show had potential to be quite good.

This and a similar program (Happy Endings) were both new this season. Thought this one was much funnier and entertaining. It is quirky and requires a few episodes to 'get' the characters and humour, but once you do, it really takes off.

I found the last few episodes to be great, and though I was on the fence for the first few, I was sold toward the end and would have stuck with it. Versus a flat, boring story line (like most new "couples" comedies) this one was slightly over-the-top and fun to watch. A show like that stands out from others that blend in with normality. This would have picked up a larger audience with every season it ran, whereas the others would have lost many to boredom.

VERY upset to see this was dropped. Bad move.

Any bad review of this show has been of the pilot and though I found it funny, pales in comparison with the rest of the season. You may not like Olivia Munn but her character fits her perfectly. The same can be said for the rest of the cast, helping the show move along with fun energy. Now the network wants to replace it with the Paul Reiser show? a bootleg Curb your Enthusiasm? I just don't see how a show about dealing with how old and pathetic you are trumps a TV lineup targeted to college age crowds.

Hopefully its just the end of the season and it will return in the fall and I set up an IMDb account to cry over nothing at all.

Don't get me wrong, the pilot episode left a lot to be desired. It was very forced and awkward. However, it got much better just by the 2nd episode. I don't find Modern Family funny, whatsoever and I am confused why people like it. This show deserves a second chance from NBC, I mean they had the Paul Reiser show for crying out loud! Not to mention 2 seasons of Outsourced, which was horrible! I think that if you like shows like How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or the Office you would like this show. I also don't know why people dislike Olivia Munn so much. She is funny and pretty! I don't think she is really like the character she plays on Perfect Couples, she is just acting folks...

I'm kinda confused by the negative reviews and low scores here so I thought I'd give my 2 cents. I'm thinking that a lot of people leaving negative reviews may actually find 2 and a 1/2 men funny. There are so many bad comedies around, and there aren't many based around couples that aren't sitcoms and that don't feel really forced, so for me Perfect Couples is exactly what I like watching.

It has great acting, fun characters that are appealing with characteristics that anyone can associate with, and snappy editing. And while Olivia Munn's character 'is' annoying, she is actually really good in her role.

Anyway, would love this show to stick around for a while, and if you're a fan of comedies such as Road Trip, Buying the Cow, or Tomcats, then you should like this. Otherwise, don't watch it, and stop whining.
