    The intriguing pilot takes its time, leaving an element of mystery surrounding the show's direction, but if the entree remains equal to this appetizer, the cable net may have a prestige show on its hands.

    A very un-Lifetime-like drama with sharp comedic overtones, one so well-constructed that dudes won't even feel the need to check their gender at the door.

    Coughlan finds the nice subtle undertones so Jenny seems more real and less cardboard.

    This show is refreshing. I read a review that was upset that Jenny was so cute and nice. Well, so was Mary Tyler Moore. It is really nice having a show you can watch with your daughters .… Expand

    I was really looking fwd to watching this show. However, it (in my eyes) did not live up to the expectations. Since Army Wives premiered on Lifetime, I thought, great new shows to watch that are really really good. I am a HUGH fan of Army WIves.. this show, however, I could watch if it was on.. but definatly NOT a TIVO show… Expand
