I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

disgusting, overrated, pointless

Blistering performances.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Hey! It's the kid from The Wonder Years! With that out the way there's not a whole lot left to enjoy in this dysfunctional family series that was cancelled after five episodes - although there were 13 made.Fred Savage plays a closeted gay screenwriter who returns home from Hollywood to look after his mother (Jane Curtain) who has just been released from a mental institute after trying to run over her husband, because he left her for another woman. Based on the real-life experiences of the creator/writer Marco Pennette (who co-created Caroline In The City) it's good to see a gay person portrayed on TV who isn't effeminate and overly camp, and there are some decent moments in here. However, gags about mental illness, drug use and depression might not be everyone cup 0f lithium.It moves from attempts to get a laugh to outright schmaltz in a way that The Wonder Years got away with, but here the subject matter is a lot darker, and it's hard to tell if it really works.

Once I saw the pilot I couldn't wait to watch the rest. I really hope they keep this one on the air. As others have mentioned, the writing could have used a little work, in some areas but I think it's a promising new show, lots of good jokes, kept me laughing. It's nice to see Fred Savage playing a comedy role again. It's almost as if he disappeared for awhile and then came back to the screen. The acting in this show good all around, each one of the cast members makes their role believable. I really like that there is some seriousness to it also, some realizations, along with a good mixture of comedy. The concept seems original to me, most of the family based sitcoms you see anymore are all the same, but this has originality to it that many sitcoms lack. ABC has really done it with this one, and lets try to keep it on the air? Hmm-K?

I had great expectations for this show when I saw the early previews of it. It seemed like the premise was brilliant. However, after watching a few episodes, what this show suffers greatly from is the writing. It is just too lethargic. What could be done with this show is simply not being done. You have a great cast who does the best they can do with the script, but until the writing is improved, "Crumbs" is on a crash course.The first step to improving this show is to get rid of that laugh track. My God....if your not going to film it before a live audience, then don't use fake laughter. Plus, the volume is so low it sounds like people are laughing in the next room or something. Sort of a bizarre use of canned laughter I think.

After reading several reviews that were mixed about this new ABC series, I looked forward to seeing how the Pilot episode would turn out.The writers took time to clearly point out all of the characters, and enticed this viewer into wanting to see more.Many critics were harsh... saying this show wasn't funny and lacked substance, however I think that they have set the series up for a potential long run on ABC.I can see the show being on the dial for sometime.Due to ABC's ratings with "Dancing with the Stars" being so high, at least this show got a good lead-in.The show goes up against CSI on CBS. Will ABC keep this new program up against the #1 show in America?That would be, excuse me, crazy!
