    Dan Lauria stars in a sitcom about a bar owner, Mr. Sullivan, who sells the bar to his son, Steven Sullivan, who has given up a lucrative law career in New York City. He goes home to Pittsburgh to see his family and realizes what he's missing. The cast is first rate with a stern Korean mother in a scene stealing role. Other characters include regular barflies played by Christine Ebersole (Carol Walsh) and Brian Doyle Murray who always worth watching. The show has some bumps and needs improvement in some areas but they're really worth watching. I love a good sitcom even with it's faults. You'll laugh, be offended, but you'll enjoy it if you give it a chance to succeed.

    Just watched the pilot and second episode and we really enjoyed them! We've always found Steve Brynes' standup funny and thought he did really well in a sitcom role as well. Steve's mother, played by Jodi Long, steals the show. She is flipping hilarious and had us cracking up the entire time she was on screen. As a child of the 80s, I was thrilled to see Dan Lauria as his dad (I always loved him as the dad in the Wonder Years!!). Christine Ebersole is fabulous as the slutty, drunk mom of one of Steve's friends. Rounding out the cast is his neurotic, jealous sister and a group of loser friends from his past ;) everyone's got some of those, right? Really looks like it has some potential to be a good new show!!

    I just watched the pilot and I have to say I am not impressed.Some of the jokes are good and get a laugh.But the show has problems. A lot of the acting is bad. Over-exaggerated. Bad timing, bad delivery. It seems like they are trying too hard and going over the top.The "Korean" mom has the worst accent ever. it is not remotely Korean. It sounds like she is attempting a generic Asian accent and it is hideous to listen to. Very forced.Nonetheless, I can't help but get this strange, familiar feeling when I watch the show....like it is a faded copy of another famous bar I know...but what could it be? When Steve, the main character walks in the bar, everyone shouts his name...there is an older lady with a rep for sleeping around...a character in a public service uniform...an older, simple-minded man....a whiny female character. Even the set looks oddly family. It's on the tip of my tongue...but I just can't place it.Oh well, I recorded both premiere episodes so I will watch the next one.Cheers, B. B.

    You should give this show a chance. There are harsh critics, yes, there are those who are downright haters, but they are not me and doubtfully, you! I know that some say that it reminds them of Cheers, even calling it a Cheers ripoff, but this is a new decade and many that will love it never even knew Cheers! Besides, I love it, and Cheers was a TV icon so what would be wrong with that?! It is a very decent show! I love when new shows are funny! Give it a try, you might love it, too! Pittsburgh, where this show is produced, is a very underrated city, at times. They have a fantastic city to share with the world. TBS is giving the USA an opportunity to see some of what Pittsburgh has to offer. Watch it and see for yourself.
