As a fan of My Name is Earl, I expected to enjoy this show. Instead, I was let down, with vomit "humor", poor acting and predictable dialogue. The "in your face" comedy, such as incessantly referring to the baby as "it" and repeated suggestions to drop off the baby at the fire station were insulting to anyone's intelligence. Cloris Leachman has sadly lowered herself by appearing in this show and by playing a stereotype. The main character, Hope's father, seems incredibly uncomfortable with his lines. I only watched the pilot. If I can stomach another episode, I may be able to find some redeeming qualities, but as of now, I am not a fan.
