    Mjeteconer Just perfect...
    Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
    Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
    Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
    yarzagaray I just found this show and I am so glad I did. I'm a fan of Corner Gas so I thought I would give Hiccups a try. I wasn't hooked right away. Robertson's character Millie was pretty outrageous, which at first struck me as too much and out of place...but then by the second episode I found her character endearing and hilariously oddball. Robertson and Brent Butt are great together in the show. All the other characters start to fill out as the show progresses and bring more subtle, but added flavor to it. Robertson is amazing in this and her outrageousness really becomes a natural, dynamic aspect of the series. Her facial expressions, body language, and line delivery are comic gold!
    lauriepatm We loved Corner Gas and were sad when it ended after 6 seasons. This show is not funny at all and the characters are not interesting. Brent and Nancy are good, but the writing is poor and not of the same caliber as Corner Gas. The side characters (publisher, agent, wife and receptionist) are bland and not funny at all. Their comedic timing is nil and their acting is wooden and unnatural. Everyone knows that the success of good situation comedy is in the side characters. If they aren't good, the show is not good. Brent and Nancy are not enough to carry this show by themselves. A successful show must have excellent writing..This show does not have that.
    andrejcauchi I waited along time for Hiccups to arrive and now that it's here, I'm loving every minute of it! Brent Butt is a genius and has transplanted the magic of Corner Gas to urban Vancouver in Hiccups. The writing is superb and the characters are wonderful. The premise of the series is that Millie Upton (Nancy Robertson)a children's writer with anger management issues finds therapy in Stan Dirko (Brent Butt), a life coach who with Millie as his only client fumbles his way to setting her on the right path. Surrounding these two are Joyce Haddison (Laura Soltis), Millie's straight-laced editor and chief, Taylor Rhymes(David Ingram), Millie's slime ball agent who seems more interested in picking up women than Millie's career, Crystal Braywood (Emily Perkins) the ditsy, know-it-all receptionist and Anna Dirko (Paula Rivera), Stan's loving and devoted, way to hot for him wife. Together, they provide the perfect ensemble that sets this series apart from so many of the other recent sitcoms. Hiccups gets two thumbs up!
    kjlevine Like the Hiccups, this show is annoying and sometimes painful. There is something seriously wrong with Brent Butt. Could they just not afford a real actor? This guy is the show runner, writer, creator, and a character. He plays a broke life coach with an attractive wife. I understand that in a comedy you don't have to act completely realistic, but Brent Butt just sounds like he is one small step away from reading lines strait off the script. Speaking of the script, its your basic pilot script introducing the characters and their quirky, yet unfunny personalities and outlaying the concept of what the show is. I did like Laura Soltis in this show, but Nancy Robertson was too over the top even for a zany, wacky children's book writer. The bottom line is that the show is just another generic comedy that got no laughs from me. Keep in mind that this is a Canadian show and I am American, so maybe Canadians find this piece of garbage funny, but I recommend that you pass on this if you value your time.
