    This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

    Holly Franklin-very funny,as usually even when she doesn't speak! Haskell-he was funny in Seinfeld and he is funny here! Eden-funny Stuart and Phil,not only they're not funny at all,it's annoying to watch them so every time they have a scene i have to scroll forward...and now they also added that annoying sister of his...Almost every comedy(lately) they have the same theme"singles-midlife-and always looking for someone and talk talk talking about sex,over and over again with the endless jokes about sex...I don't know how much this show will last but i can see how they get bored with each episode that appears and please make more scenes with Holly and Haskell and even Eden,but leave those 2 non-funny characters at home.

    I can't believe that "The Exes" make it to the 4th season! I don't mean that this is a bad comedy. It's OK-ish. But the networks have canceled faaar more interesting and funny comedies out there.Anyway. This is a painless "roommates" kind of comedy. 3 men who recently divorced are forced to live under the same roof and across the apartment of the female lawyer who helped them. Obviously the 3 men have totally different personalities and as I remember there were some conflicts in the 1st season but I guess there are more like a family now.The leads are not too charismatic. Second class more like it.Most of the jokes are dating related. To tell you the truth I'm kind of bored by the "I am the man and I have a hot date" kind of jokes and the semi-funny pickup lines in a bar.Another thing that always bothers me in these sitcoms is the fake laughing track which unfortunately is present in this show too.Overall: It's not a bad series but I hardly think that it is worth the time to watch it regularly.

    The show is pretty good. The writing is very hit or miss. Some episodes are incredibly well written and others are a little weak which means the cast has to carry the script. A great comedic actor can make the most mundane jokes funny and that's what Leah Remini has brought to this show. She's a tremendous addition to an already strong cast. Her comedic timing and delivery is exceptional. If anything, the show's writing (and maybe direction?) hinders her and the rest of the cast. That being said, I'm gaining a tremendous amount of respect for her as a comedian and an actress and I'd love to see more of her on this show! I'd love to see a few episodes where Remini and Johnston take the lead in steering a plot... I get an awesome Lucy & Ethel vibe from them. Pair those two up in zany exploits and hilarity will most certainly ensue!

    "The Exes" is great addition to TVLand's comedy show list. It is the second best sitcom they have had since their hit "Hot in Cleveland." It may not be completely original; the main characters live across the hall from each other, reminiscent of the hit show "Friends", but these characters were brought together by Holly (Kristen Johnston), a divorce lawyer. She brought the three male characters together, Haskell (Wayne Knight), Phil (Donald Faison), and Stuart (David Alan Basche), when she introduced them after representing them in their divorces. She rents them the apartment across the hall from her. Holly's assistant, Eden (Kelly Stables) even lived with her for a short period of time.The actors were well brought together from shows we used to watch. Kristen Johnston from "3rd Rock From the Sun", Kelly Stables from "Two and a Half Men", Dwayne Knight from "Seinfeld", Donald Faison from "Scrubs", David Alan Basche less known from "The Starter Wife".The plots are pretty simple, they relate to divorce and dating, and poke fun at the stereotypical roles the characters play. Viewers may start the show thinking, "I wish I had a life like that," to finishing the show with a laugh and thinking, "I'm glad my life isn't that way." Holly was career driven as a young woman, and has a successful career, but is unsuccessful in her love life as a middle-aged woman. Eden is a pint-sized, care-free single young woman having fun. Phil is the playboy of the group, always with a different woman, and as much fun as he is having, he started having feelings for Eden. Haskell is a lazy, overweight middle-aged man, who spends much of his time on his laptop. He is the funny guy of the group and is outgoing, but never gets a lady. Stuart is the touchy-feely one of the group. He's a dentist and is very proud of this small practice. He isn't completely over his ex, but with the help of the guys is trying to get into dating.Overall, this is a simple comedy that brought a few good actors we knew from previous sitcoms together in an attempt to get a few laughs out of its viewers.
