    I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

    The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

    While the Runyonesque plot of responsibilities of parenthood reforming a rascal go back least as far as "Little Miss Marker" (1934), thanks to a brilliant cast and solid dialog, "Grandfathered" still manages to mine gold from an old mine. Great one-liners and a little sex in the form of luscious Christina Milian, this is the funniest mix of sharp humor and sex since the premiere of "The Big Bang Theory". The satire is comparable to last year's underrated "Selfie"; however, both the casting and even-ness of it is closer to "Big Bang". While Josh Peck's character is written as a bit too annoyingly backward and Milian's as eye-candy for adolescent boys, Stamos has never been more appealing and Paget Brewster seems capable of carrying the show alone. I can hardly wait for the next episode; and I have not said that since "Selfie" departed.

    i enjoyed this show quite a bit. The absence of a laugh track got me hooked immediately. I love that the writers and producers trust the audience to know what is funny, without having to use fake laughter to prompt them as to what they deem funny. Whenever I start watching a new comedy series, as soon as I realize there is a laugh track, I stop watching, except in the case of Mom. This series has the same kind of snappy, clever writing as Midern Family and Mom. The ensemble work really well together and everybody seems well cast. I feel they have used a very good guideline in introducing the premise, the characters and the setting. Time will tell if they can keep up the pace and whether the audience will support it.. Not having, particularly, been a fan of John Stamos, I found him a good fit to be the lead character. Fox seems to have the upper hand when it comes to comedy.

    When John Stamos and Rob Lowe both return to TV at the same time, it's hard to tell one pretty boy from the other. That aside, "Grandfather" (Stamos) appears to have a harder sell ahead than that of "The Grinder". Creator/writer Daniel Chun can write good TV, but as it stands, a TV sitcom (Grandfather) is different than writing a successful TV series (Hello, Ladies). Chun will need to find some/more funny in his writing (without going over the top), stop depending on Stamos (himself) to carry the shows storyline, give the ensemble more to do and say, and especially not depend on "cameos" (Don Rickles, Bob Saget, Lil' Wayne and Deion Sanders) to sell the series. From the pilot, things don't look good. However, Stamos is a TV favorite and for that reason alone I'm willing to stick with the show a bit longer. Drop in and check-up on your "Grandfather".

    John Stamos excels in "Grandfsthered".Superb character development throughout.I much prefer Stamos as a Grandfater over being Uncle Jesse.Loved seeing Bob Staget cameo.The portrayed situations are very believable.This show is definitely a highlight of the new season.I shall be tuning in every week.The baby is adorable.Stamos plays his role in a charming believable manner.The support characters are well cast,particularly the son.I look forward to watching the progress of Stamos establishing relationships with his Sonn,Granddaughter,Grandmother and his restaurant staff as they adjust to his new persona.It is interesting to witness the background of the restaurant business.
