Me, Myself and I

This show is a breath of fresh air. It's funny, sweet, irreverent, and makes me PRAY that they don't mess it up and get it canceled. Please give it some more press, CBS! The child actor who plays Alex is a total gem. Of course Bobby Moynihan is hilarious and has a sweet, innocent quality. Then there is the legend, John Larroquette. This cast is unbelievable, and they can go the distance if they keep up this momentum.

This TV is much better than I expected it to be. The 1991 time period is certainly the most interesting and well-done in my opinion, but the middle aged and aging Alex both have much to add to the story as well.The story is refreshing and true to life as there are certainly disheartening moments in Alex's life, but there is always a shred of hope in any situation. I also love the fact that they didn't fall for the stepfather trope, and that Alex and him have a beautiful relationship. The standout is certainly Jack Dylan Grazer as Alex and I hope we can see him in more in the future!

This sitcom was the best show of the 2017 Fall season. It was funny, and well written. The cast was perfect for this type of show. I was expecting it to run for at least 4 or 5 years. I hope Netflix, Amazon or Apple will buy the rights and make it the next Big Bang Theory success.

If this were just about a 14-year-old budding inventor who has to switch to a new school, it would be a good show about the awkward life of a teen. But by adding the scenes about two later periods in his life, raising his daughter after his divorce at 40 and reconnecting with a lost love after his retirement at 65, they have added poignancy that raises it to a level beyond mere comedy.

The only problem I have with it is that so far, the 40-year-old does not seem to have the same personality as the 14-year-old and the 65-year-old, and this seems to me to be the weakest part of the show. But we'll see.

The way in which the story is told is unique and a welcome respite from TV shows that move at a frenetic pace, i.e. Modern Family, American Housewife. Not sure how long the "originality" of the show will keep my interest, but John Larroquette is always good to watch. The story has heart and it will be interesting to see where it goes. My only beef is that, in stage 3 of the character's life, Larroquette's middle school crush is played by Sharon Lawrence who is some 16 years younger, and looks it. Not very plausible. Perhaps I will have something to actually look forward to on TV.
