Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Nice effects though.

Boring, long, and too preachy.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I used to be a lover of sitcoms back in the days of Friends, Will and Grace, Cheers, and even as a little kid watching Taxi and Mash. Sometime after Friends and Will and Grace, it seems the sitcom died. For me, Will and Grace was all about Jack and Karen! None of the rest of the cast mattered, anyone could have played them and it didn't make a difference to me. It's the same with Sean Saves the World. It's all about Sean Hayes and Tom Lennon. They are both incredible and their different comedic styles create a wonderful melange of funny. I do like Linda Lavin too but the rest of the cast can be anyone. Megan Hilty was great in Smash, but comedy is sooo obviously NOT her forte. She is the only one I would change because it makes the comedy seem forced and drags the better actors down. She should stick to singing. I also love the sets. Love the bold colors. The set design of his home is bold and gorgeous. The other only other comedy show I'm into right now is Dads. I may be in the minority but Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family just bore or annoy me. So I'm sooo glad "Jack's Back!" Please don't let it get canceled.

Now I really hope I won't face another heartache like I did with 'Partners' and get attached just so they will cancel this. Who knows what those NBC execs are up to or which logic they apply.Sitcoms don't seem to get a chance to develop anymore. Remember Will and Grace took a little bit of time too. I thoroughly enjoyed this sitcom and it gets better by the episode. Sean Hayes is amazing, the rest is still sort of centered around him, and catching on, still the potential feels great. The boss is the only character that doesn't feel great yet, but hey, look at Jack and Karen, one of the greatest comedy duos. Give it some time will you. Five seasons for starters? Just compare it to so many crappy shows that go on for seasons. This one actually made me Laugh Out Loud a number of times. Do it for the gays...I meant Hayes. PS why is Sean Hayes not on top of the credits and only mentioned for two episodes?

I don't know about anyone else but I've had Jack withdrawals for years and there is only so many times you can watch repeats of will and grace...OK that was a lie, please forgive me baby Jesus.This show has so much potential and you should never judge a new series before the 6th episode unless of course its an action show and the graphics is terribly poor from the get go, in which case you should jump ship immediately.This has all the ingredients for a good watch that does have punch lines that make you laugh and just to reiterate again SEAN HAYES PEOPLE! Plus gays are so hot right now, its better than another show based on a fat useless ugly man married to an attractive woman who has an annoying family member and is full of chauvinistic punch lines...Just saying.I just hope that I don't get too attached and it doesn't get signed for a second season. The competition is pretty tough with sitcoms these days but I will always Have time for Sean.

I don't know what the other reviewers here were watching, but I found the 2 episodes I've watched so far to be very engaging, funny, and real. I adore Sean Hayes, and Linda Lavin does a good turn as his rather overbearing mother, but they do need to tone down her character a bit, because she's too much of a cliché'. I like the work ensemble, and except for 'the boss', it feels real to me, as I am familiar with that field of work, and I can totally understand the frustrations. I see almost no similarity between Sean's Will & Grace character and the character in this series. Whereas we've seen this particular plot line before (single dad raising his adolescent child )there is enough fresh material in this to keep me interested for quite some time.I have faith that this is a show that will grow, and get better...and I'm rooting for it to succeed! :)
