Overall, what I saw in clips looked funny, but I'm starting to think that's all that was funny. I'll be the first to say it: They canceled Back to You for this?

The clips are very funny. The review is mixed, there are some good parts and some bad which is typical for a pilot episode. From the review, there are enough good parts to warrant a sampling. The cast is very good. The real question is will FOX stand behind a comedy that is sure to only bring in mediocre ratings with Til Death as a lead in.

As for Back 2 You, the comedy constantly underdelievered, so its cancellation makes sense especially since it was so expensive to produce. The real question is why is Til Death still on schedule?

Well Fox can't cancel both so they went with the cheaper comedy, which imo at least, was the funnier of the two this spring, despite massive improvements for Back to You. If Fox really wanted these two comedies though, both would've aired post-Idol this spring at 9pm on Wednesdays. Its not like Idol would've hurt by airing at 8pm. Oh well, such is life.

The clips on Yahoo was very funny. I actually think it has a shot but Fox need to flip this with Til Death if they ever want it to catch on.

Til Death is starting to look like AtJ still currently on ABC or Yes Dear when it was on CBS.

1. Til Death has a long ways to go before it becomes According to Jim.
2. Even Marc agrees with the general concensus that Yes Dear was a much better show than CBS or any critic said it was.
3. It is time for Jim to die already. ABC needs to dig up some dirt on him to counter act any dirt he has on him. Wink

I think almost everyone has said the time slots need to be flipped. It's just a matter of time until FOX figures it out, hopefully.

I think because:
*FOX has already sunk a lot of money into the show with the past seasons
*They want at least one returning live action comedy
*Somebody at FOX really likes this show

Or perhaps they've already figured out that Do Not Disturb looks mediocre at best while Til Death has actually been enjoyable this season. Now if only they would resurrect Back to You and just give DND the old "never make the air cancelled" Fox treatment and we would be set.

Will give this a shot, but it looks to be pretty overdone, predictable stuff. There may be some actors who could elevate that into something watchable, but Jerry O'Connell is definitely not one of them.

I've seen the whole pilot and it's pretty good. I'll atleast watch for a few episodes. The acting is good, even the supporting cast.

I've gotta say though, Back To You shouldn't have been cancelled. 'Til Death should have gone.
