Marry Me is the rarest of commercial TV sitcoms in that it's actually funny, has two standout leads and a superb supporting cast (especially Meadows and Bucatinsky).
Taken on its own, Marry Me offers a fast-moving, often hilarious debut episode that traffics in pop culture references as it establishes Annie as the loon and Jake as the tolerant, abiding guy who loves her.
This show is omg my new favorite comedy this fall i have. Had a crush on Casey wiltson for awhile now and this only proves why I do she is as beautiful as ever and funny as crap I love everything about this show and everyone involved is fantastic I highly recommend that you watch this I am a guy and I fricking love it
The leads are charming and the writing is tight--and I mean tight. "Marry Me" is poised and quite good. All it needs to do is have some sort of conflict week-to-week and be a little less predictable.
Though I’m not in love with the idea of another sitcom in which a woman fixates on engagement rings and wedding planning, it’s impossible to resist the fluidly written, sharply performed quips and pop-culture references that are effortlessly strewn across Marry Me’s pilot episode.
At its best the show’s language is inventively and diversely funny, drawing laughs in two or three or four different ways within the space of seconds.... There are moments, though--and they come more often as the episode goes along--when the tone turns a little more earnest and brushes up against the sentimental.
The pilot is high-strung but basically acceptable, and I'll keep watching in the well-founded hopes that it will find consistently entertaining groove and use its fine cast (which includes Tim Meadows and Dan Bucatinsky as Annie's dads) as well as "Happy Endings" used its fab ensemble.
Marry Me shows promise of a new Happy Endings. I know, I know, I'm saying that because of Casey Wilson. But really, she's funny here and so is Ken Marino.
I hope the show delivers and I pray that if it does, it doesn't meet the same fate as Happy Endings. That show didn't deserve to be cancelled.
Watching this Happy Endings imposter makes me mourn the loss of the "amah-zing" Happy Endings so much more. Marry Me is not bad but it is no Happy Endings. The very talented Casey Wilson is reprising her Penney character here, pratfalls and all. Parts of Marry Me are greater than the whole.
I've watched every episode of this show and can honestly say this show is hard to watch. I keep wanting to like this show but just can't. The jokes fall flat and you can almost predict what the joke is going to be about. Predictable, **** and frequently unfunny. The cast is likeable enough but the writing leaves a lot to be desired.
I honestly have no idea what all the hoopla is about. The show is sooooo NOT funny, I can't begin to tell you how the jokes fall flat.
The show comes off real corny too in what seems to me as obvious attempts exploiting current political correctness. The 2 **** dads just seem thrown in and only "just because." On top of which they have to be interracial too, and seems so " just because."
Now, I'm a **** black dude who's dated blacks and whites and browns and also in betweens. I have nothing against **** dads or dudes or inter-racialism, and I have nothing against the lesbians either. (Yes, there is a lesbian character thrown in "just because.")
But I do have something against what seems to me as pandering. Obvious pandering. Just because **** marriage and rights are in the news, they've thrown in 2 **** dads. To make it seem more edgy, seemingly, the dads are interracial.
I'm pleased to see more **** today on tv and in film. But the **** thing isn't a fad.
And even if I could **** up to the pandering, I could not get a laugh. The show is just not funny.
Stupid **** writing and totally unlikable and juvenile characters made this painfully excruciating to watch. On top of that the political correct preachiness makes me want ot puke. How this even got on the air is beyond me. How many good shows didn't make the cut so that this piece of garbage could. Very sad.
