As Good As It Gets

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I really like this show. It's one of the few sitcoms I watch besides my favorite Big Bang Theory, and Two and a Half Men.I care about the characters, the show makes me laugh, and I've stayed interested. Season 1 is nearing the end and I hope there's a second season. I think the best way to gauge how much I like a show is to think about how I would feel if I missed an episode. I'd be moderately disappointed but not upset, and try to watch it on On Demand or somewhere online.So what if the writing isn't great, its not that clever, and the humor feels forced? Its a sitcom, I don't expect it to go above and beyond. Its just supposed to be a casual show that gives me enough chuckles to stay interested, and I think it delivers on those points.I give Sean Saves The World a score of 7 out of 10. Not great like I said, but good!

Now I really hope I won't face another heartache like I did with 'Partners' and get attached just so they will cancel this. Who knows what those NBC execs are up to or which logic they apply.Sitcoms don't seem to get a chance to develop anymore. Remember Will and Grace took a little bit of time too. I thoroughly enjoyed this sitcom and it gets better by the episode. Sean Hayes is amazing, the rest is still sort of centered around him, and catching on, still the potential feels great. The boss is the only character that doesn't feel great yet, but hey, look at Jack and Karen, one of the greatest comedy duos. Give it some time will you. Five seasons for starters? Just compare it to so many crappy shows that go on for seasons. This one actually made me Laugh Out Loud a number of times. Do it for the gays...I meant Hayes. PS why is Sean Hayes not on top of the credits and only mentioned for two episodes?

I don't know about anyone else but I've had Jack withdrawals for years and there is only so many times you can watch repeats of will and grace...OK that was a lie, please forgive me baby Jesus.This show has so much potential and you should never judge a new series before the 6th episode unless of course its an action show and the graphics is terribly poor from the get go, in which case you should jump ship immediately.This has all the ingredients for a good watch that does have punch lines that make you laugh and just to reiterate again SEAN HAYES PEOPLE! Plus gays are so hot right now, its better than another show based on a fat useless ugly man married to an attractive woman who has an annoying family member and is full of chauvinistic punch lines...Just saying.I just hope that I don't get too attached and it doesn't get signed for a second season. The competition is pretty tough with sitcoms these days but I will always Have time for Sean.

I don't know what the other reviewers here were watching, but I found the 2 episodes I've watched so far to be very engaging, funny, and real. I adore Sean Hayes, and Linda Lavin does a good turn as his rather overbearing mother, but they do need to tone down her character a bit, because she's too much of a cliché'. I like the work ensemble, and except for 'the boss', it feels real to me, as I am familiar with that field of work, and I can totally understand the frustrations. I see almost no similarity between Sean's Will & Grace character and the character in this series. Whereas we've seen this particular plot line before (single dad raising his adolescent child )there is enough fresh material in this to keep me interested for quite some time.I have faith that this is a show that will grow, and get better...and I'm rooting for it to succeed! :)
