I am watching it. It looks like sh-t. Tom Pappas sucks.

This is terrible, I'm out.

EDIT: I don't understand how you can base a whole show around that. Very very bad. I feel sorry for NBC. Or rather I would if they didn't bring it on themselves

Well, I'm sure there are extra Law and Order episodes they can show in that time slot instead.

Man, I forgot to watch.

I so wanted to see this show because if there anything that is needed today its marrage advice from people who gone though the nastiest divorces ever.

And the great news is that they got father of year winner Alec Baldwin being a judge too. I can't wait to see the advice he gives about raising kids.

I can't wait for this to crash & burn due to low ratings. Extra bonus if Seinfeld says something along the lines that it was "canceled too early".

I thought it was funny that Seinfeld was laughing way more than anyone else, even in the audience.

Also Madonna + Larry David (and I like him) looks like a disaster of epic proportions.

I skipped the premiere but couldn't resist watching tonight out of love for Larry David and Ricky Gervais. This show is a total clusterfuck, bad 50s TV meets bad 00s TV. The worst of both worlds. But it was great that Larry and Ricky seemed totally aware of that and didn't really hide it.

I watched for Larry and Ricky too. Only they could make a shitty show like this one somewhat entertaining.

Madonna and David didn't quite have chemistry but they did seem to enjoy yelling at each other. I thought everyone, from the couples to the host, seemed to be aware how of transitory what they were doing was. The couples didn't care, the panel didn't care, and like Dan said, it reminded me of 50's TV--people smoking and hanging out. If Papa toned down his schtick for a more relaxed style, they cut the reality segments in half, and somehow Madonna, David, and Gervais always guested, you'd have a wonderfully low-key, bitter show.

Also get rid of shit like having Maria Menounos off to the side for some reason and interjecting like 3 times in the whole hour show then sitting in silence the rest of the time. WTF is that?

Fascinated by the awful-ness of this.

I liked it, granted I only saw the one with Gervais,David,and Madonna, but still it's a stupid show and I'm sure everyone is in on it. If he gets funny people on the panel then I'll watch it every time.

Hadn't actually watched this yet for reasons detailed here, but this past Thursday after 30 rock I noticed Greg Giraldo would be on. The show is indeed crap (and surprisingly I had a growing suspicion throughout that the "couples" were paid actors) but this episode at least was worth it for Giraldo. Love his brand of humor.

It might be better with a different host, boy is that guy unfunny.
