Did anyone watch The Good Place with Ted Danson and Kristin Bell? I wasn't that impressed with it, and as much as I like both actors on their own, I'm not too sure this show will succeed. I hope I'm wrong, though.

I watched the first episode. I wanted it to be good. But, I was not impressed.

I thought it was st00pid and ridiculous. The big twist at the end (with the note)? Saw that coming a mile away.
I give it 4 episodes before it's cancelled.
Too bad. I do like the cast.

I really liked it. It had sort of a Pushing Daisies vibe, which I like, and I'll watch Kristen Bell in pretty much anything.

My thoughts exactly. I wanted to like this show. But I don't think I made it through 15 minutes before changing the channel.

Maybe it will improve? Lots of great shows had weak beginnings.

I wasn't expecting to like it and in fact decided to DVR it just on a whim at the last minute, but I actually liked it a lot. I was laughing out loud several times, which for a TV sitcom constitutes a huge endorsement for me. I always like Ted Danson and Kristin Bell, and I loved all the frozen yogurt places and the soul mate who won't talk.

I liked it and it held my attention, but I thought at the end, "I don't know if I can stand an entire season of this silly show."

That is exactly my thought! I don't think it will last however.
