    Good-hearted, eccentric and wry, Ride goes nowhere fast, but it has a fine time getting there.

    "Free Ride" is a bit more than passably good, but like "Arrested [Development]" it feels hard to love.

    This "Free Ride," I suspect, will be over very soon.

    This was a funny show. I wish you would bring it back. Parents who have kids going off to college or graduating from college and coming home again LOVED this SHOW!! I hope it goes to DVD. Nate, his parents and Nate's best friend were hilarious!!!!… Expand

    It was pretty good and somewhat funny. I'm sure it will get better.

    Crappy sitcom all around. Just another show that will be cancelled sooner or later. Free ride simply isn't funny. I have only watched one episode and was completely dissapointed. The plotline of the episode i was watching involved the main character trying to get close to some girl through her stepbrother and in the process they say bastard a lot, very amusing....not. This show fails joke after joke and didn't manage make me even smile. Free ride sucks.… Expand
