    Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
    Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
    Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
    KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
    girvanpaterson This is one of the funniest shows I've seen for some time, witty dialogue, two great lead comedy actors in Kelsey Grammar, and the gorgeous Patricia Heaton, with a good supporting cast. Unlike some, I found every one of the 17 completed episodes to be very enjoyable, thought Grammar and Heaton had great chemistry together, and the situations were always funny. Unfortunately, network executives don't always make wise decisions, and they stuffed up big time in canceling this show, that due to the writers strike, didn't even complete the first season. They didn't give it a chance, and therefore lost a potential classic. Thank God they've released it on a nice little DVD set, and we can at least enjoy the 17 episodes over and over. I for one would love to see Kelsey & Patricia teamed again in the future. Many far inferior shows to this one have gone on year after year!
    jDriftyx82 There's not a lot to say about Back to You. It's a rather generic sitcom starring Kelsey Grammar (Cheers, Frasier) and Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond).One of the great aspects of Back to You, is its hilarity. This generic, predictable, clichéd sitcom, is saved by hilarity.The show is about Chuck Darling (Grammar) a star news anchor, who, after playing the field at other stations, comes back to his home town. Only to find out that his co-anchor Kelly (Heaton) has a child. He also learns that the child is his.Now, I was only exposed to the first 9 episodes, so I'm not sure. But Chuck never tells his daughter he's her dad. But that's because it was canceled too soon.If the show went on longer, I think it would've gotten better. Like NewsRadio.
    Asteri-Atypical This show, unlike many of the other Fox sitcom "attempts" (coughcoughstackedcough) isn't so "BAD" as it's just not GOOD. Which is actually a commentary on the depth of the writing considering that "Back to You" has some noteworthy on-screen talent.Like many others, after Frasier, I anxiously awaited seeing the great Kelsey Grammar in a new sitcom. Patricia Heaton and the wonderfully silly Fred Willard were draws as well.Unfortunately, the script is not equal to the cast, especially Grammar. It could be likened to watching Ian McKellen on a soap opera. It's hard watching Kelsey Grammar go from one of the best, most intelligent sitcoms of all time to this hackneyed pap.Indeed, "hackneyed" sums up "Back to You" quite well. There's little original in the situation, characters or humor. We've seen these characters and the same chemistry between them ad nauseam. The characters don't have depth or life; which takes some adjustment after the interesting character of Frasier.And... the humor. It could almost be enjoyed; at times. Every now and then they have a one liner which is mildly funny in an adolescent way. However it's completely ruined by the ubiquitous laugh track and the overreaction of the cast to every minor pun. Nothing ruins a laugh like the laugh track and the cast trying to convince you that you should be doubled over laughing.Overall, despite a cast worth watching, "Back to You" is fast food down from Frasier's cuisine. Some people will enjoy this show since it adheres to the hackneyed formula for brain-dead sitcoms. If you like sitcoms most people call "dumb" and "banal", you may enjoy "Back to You". However if you're looking for a comedy with any depth, originality or intelligence, look elsewhere.Where, I don't know these days, but not here.
    Carly Vanness I love this show!! It's so funny, and so unlike all the other shows that are on TV right now. The two lead actors (Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton) are so good together, it's the perfect pairing. They are just SO funny. Every time I watch an episode, I end up laughing my head off. Everything is so perfect, and they have such great interactions. The supporting characters are great, too. It's so refreshing to see a show on anymore that's actually funny. Whenever I think of the show (usually when I'm sitting at my desk in school) I just burst out laughing, which results in a lot of weird looks. There's such great chemistry, it's really a near perfect show.
