TV-"Back to You"

OK...this show has two big name TV stars, Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, but the critics were so-so on it, and it did not draw great ratings. It is back for a couple of eps filmed before the strike, and will be back with more before the season ends. Despite the critics and the ratings, all I can say is it makes me laugh.

Traditional sitcom though it may be, I laugh at it...quite a bit actually.

And really, despite innovations, and special gimmicks, isn't that what you truly want in a sticom?

I like this show, quite a bit. Something in the characters: their thickness that thins out into self-revelation maybe, their ability to genuinely feel, despite contradictions, or just theri dead-pan timing, it makes me laugh out loud.
