Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

I just watched this show for the first time on demand. I laughed out loud and decided to watch the whole series so far. I thought it was great and felt the story was progressing as he learns to take care of himself. Please keep this show.
Mr. Sunshine meets Anger Management. I like Matthew Perry, but his cynical wit is getting a little old. I hope the show’s narrative finds legs beyond that. Been there done that. Cancelled that.
This has been losing steam since the first episode. How long can one laugh about someone’s wife dying before it gets pathetic. The work scenes detract from the rest of the show.
go on is ok & matthew perry is a very good actor but I liked Mr. Sunshine & its cast much better–loved that one & miss it!
I have never been a fan of Matthew Perry, but I really enjoyed the pilot. I think this one will be a hit.

I caught a leeked preview of the pilot. The most boring, dragging show I’ve ever seen. Its a combination of an over-acting cast and a shakey premise in a drab setting.
Seriously – this show’s base would of been a better movie. Good luck stretching this thing out more than 6 eps.
