I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

As I watched the first episode I thought this was going to be one of those series to die fast and fade quickly, but now I have to admit there were better things to come. As the series has progressed the episodes have gotten better with better scripts and the cast is finally becoming used to their roles... I still have doubts that CBS will keep the series for a second season due to the poor (but decent) ratings, but it does have potential and will probably be one of those series to be cancelled before its time.

Christine Baranski (Cybill) "Marsha Bickner" in the show, is a multi-talented woman she acts, sings. I think she that she is really good, in all the things she does. She was my favorite character in Cybill. She was and is witty. I enjoyed the show which has that New York, Seinfeld, Neil Simon, type of rhythm. The opening of the show has that Broadway theater type of entrance.The script was very funny, and Christine Baranski is really good about playing those powerful yet excessively needy type of women.I have always liked those shows where they do a live broadcast, such Mary Tyler Moore and Murphy Brown. Both of those shows ran many seasons. In the first episode of the show, that cocky guy asking why the guy from Indiana wore glasses, his answer was: to see! Duh, that was quite funny. I know that feeling. I had some lots of class mates in law school who wore glasses just to look smart! Ha! That is a reality for those who feel they have to live up to an image. I loved the show and wish it does well for many seasons to come.

You have to love Studios Usa one of the major studios that says we won't be like 20th Century Fox and make almost every show you can think of for the network's. Welcome to New York worked for me for the intro perspective of Gaffigan and Christine. The other stars worked in their limited roles. But it really didn't give away the sugar induced details that will make you return for me. Unlike Bette that seemed hyped this show stuns you because it is different. Studios Usa made Brother's Keeper which I really loved hopefully this show hangs around. Now if the studio sticks behind this show it will work. Remember if the show doesn't work it is the studio. Welcome to New York scored an 88/100 for its first try as it surged 23 notches ahead of Bette.
