Mixology

I found the writing to be shockingly dreadful, offensive and virulently anti-female. Television critic Tim Goodman nailed this show when he wrote "The level of tone deafness in the writing of Mixology is astounding." And continues on to call it "a misogynistic piece of frat-boy awfulness".

The way these men think about and speak about women is nothing short of appalling. The women aren't much better as their near total lack of self-worth is contained in every word and every too short skirt. The whole thing calls out for a cultural intervention / revolution.

We should be so lucky as for Mixology's inevitable cancellation to serve notice on Hollywood executives that this kind of writing has got to go. Enough. No more.

Finally a fresh new format for a sitcom - and these do NOT come often. Yes there are no stars in it (remember when Friends, Cheers, Seinfeld, Curb, Taxi, Simpsons started????) and yes it's a little edgy (no edgier than Modern Family, just without the cheese), it's a show with a voice that dares to say this isn't for everyone. Some may be offended at the humor, but just because you're offended, it doesn't mean you're right. This is funny, funny, funny. One ep in and I can tell we will grow to know and love these characters week-on-week. We'll look forward to coming back to them each ep to see who makes it and who falls flat on their face in the game of love. Great job ABC!

The reviews of this show are really cracking me up. It's a show about some people at a bar for one night, but the reviewers seem to be expecting Chekhov-level depth, and depth, and character. Are you kidding? What do these reviewers act like at a bar? People go to drink and have fun and maybe hookup or maybe meet someone. These reviewers must be such total buzz kills.

I like this show. I think it's really funny, and it makes me laugh out loud. I loved the episode with the Hawaiian guys. The guy who plays Bruce is hilarious and I'd go see him do standup. The bitchy girl is somewhat intriguing. The dialog is unexpected and unusual. I find the show different. It doesn't take itself seriously, and it suggests that the viewer not take all this love crap seriously. It shows women what guys are really like at a bar, and that is a super helpful lesson for any woman who thinks she's going to meet the love of her life at one. (Disclaimer: Well, I did meet my husband at a bar. But that's unusual.) I could do without the English guy and the girl with the voice of a two-year old.

I hope it gets renewed.

Alright let's begin with the fact that most of the reviews seem to be pretty negative for this show. I don't quite understand why...

If I could compare this show to anything I would say it's like a sitcom dedicated to Barney in 'How I met your mother'

People are quite capable of reading what the show is about so if you don't think it's for you then fine don't watch it but I personally enjoy seeing the interactions between people.

The character development and how they meet and interact with each other is quite enjoyable to watch.

I understand that it probably wouldn't sell to an older audience but I believe that it's believable to an extent and quite humorous.

This show is a perfect example when a show is too good for its audience and it is aired in the wrong network, just like DON'T TRUST THE BITCH IN APARTMENT 23. Both shows had smart writing, comedic wit to spare and a great cast, but they were both too smart for audiences that would rather have the juvenile humor of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and THE KING OF QUEENS, two shows that overstayed their welcome by at least 5 seasons and could have not been more overrated.

Everyone in the cast shines. The concept was great and it is unfortunate that we will not see what other directions the series would have taken, but at least it was given the chance to end and it was given a good resolution to all its characters for the short one season it lasted.
