Familiar doesn't mean bad, and there's some likable charm here.

The exes is one of the most enjoyable TV shows on. We where just flipping through channels when we stopped on TVLand. The show was actually funny and fun to watch. We now make sure we set the TV timer and watch every Wednesday. Great job TVland!

It's mediocre, but it's at least pleasantly mediocre.

Nothing terribly inventive here, but it's fairly easy to like the three guys, especially Faison.

All of these actors are pros when it comes to timing, moving quickly past the worst jokes before you realize how bad they are.

I really like it that TV Land has started making these sitcoms and I really like this new one. I think it's light and entertaining. I'm so tired ot all of the stupid reality shows.

This show has some amusing ideas for jokes but it just doesn't pull them of in a way that's actually funny. Some will make you smile, but none will get an actual laugh.

I've only seen episode 1 but ugh. It's horribly paced and poorly written. What's worse, the jokes just aren't that funny. The only saving grace is the first rate cast. Here's hoping it finds it's groove soon.

This review of Kristen Johnston refers to any one of the seasons. Can't anyone from the series -- producers, director etc. -- tell Kristen to please stop overacting and keep her facial expressions to a minimum. She can be so ****

"The Exes" is written by "Frasier" Author Mark Reisman. However, although Frasier was a great series, this is not the case for "The Exes". This series is daffy and worse: it is mostly not funny.
