the show itself wasn't that bad, although you probably tired of williams schtick, but it was one long mcdonalds ads, they claim mcdonald didn't pay them for it, but these no money changed hands deals don't mean its not an ad

this is good article on that http://www.vulture.com/2013/09/tv-review-the-crazy-ones.html

Very much enjoyed it.

Robin Williams great without been OTT

Seen an American forum giving out about SMG saying she looks like crack addict now - still looked amazing to me

Not feeling it, but I won't lie I'll probably tune in every week just to catch a glimpse of James Wolk's charming smile.

it was ok, I could see Robin Williams really wearing on me after a couple of episodes though!

Me too :P but not crazy about this show

Trying to watch the pilot but sweet Jesus after less than two minutes on screen and already Williams has gone from somewhat annoying to all out irritating. He's been peddling the same shtick for over three decades and its never been anything other than irritating. The far superior Trust Me managed to integrate real world products in a way that was interesting and never felt in your face. Here the whole McDonalds thing felt like someone created the show simply to sell a few burgers. If there had been a few decent gags then you'd forgive the in your face product placement but sadly it was 22 minutes of poor word play and Williams pulling faces.

Too early to say for me. Williams May get annoying, I was feeling some of that midway through the ep. SMG looks weird now, too made up or something. I wonder if every ep will rely on a guest celeb angle? I thought this was a bit or a ratings crutch for the show, I.e., stick a celeb in there and get extra ratings. I really enjoyed Kelly Clarkson though. Overall I liked the show but it still has to get into its stride and I haven't seen the latest ep just yet.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I thought the pilot was a bit meh, but episode 2 was a great improvement... If it continues like that, they're on to a winner...

Enjoyed this. Will give it a few more eps

Watched the two last night, it was ok, will take a bit longer to like it, as you think Williams is begging you to like him as he tries too hard to sell it! & will be tough on SMG as i didnt see her last show & first since Buffy, but thats why as it wasnt interesting enough.

The ratings i saw on IMDB were good at 14M v Michael J Fox 6M, probably because 2 & a Half Men & BBT & new show The Millers were in between!

Patty O Furniture

Cant stand this show now, don't know if anyone else feels this way, Robin Williams is the only one pulling it & maybe stretching it too far, sorry SMG.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I still think it's great. Given a chance it could become one of the stronger sitcoms on the telly box.

Machismo Fan

I'm really enjoying it. Probably my favourite new comedy this year along with Brooklyn-Nine-Nine.
