So far no good how sad. Tho' nice singing voice.
And what is this with bare male tushes? This is becoming rather tired (clich�?) for network TV. Like those obligatory lip-smacking love scenes in really bad (which is to say, 99.9% of) Made-For-TV movies.
NBC, you think this is what people want?!
Terrible, terrible television.
I thought it started out promising. She is great at physical comedy, but the show went down hill fast after she left the apartment. The ex-boyfriend is very annoying, if he's a regular recurring character, the show is in trouble. This is clearly an HBO style show and I wonder what NBC's target rating is? If the network is patient, the show has a shot at getting renewed.
I agree, just give it a chance. Remember it took Seinfled a while to find its audience. You know the critics and some viewers hated it at first. Now look. Wait till the fifth or sixth show, at least give her a chance. Personally I think she has great phyiscal and facial comedy. If it fails blame her husband, Brad Hall, when was the last time this guy a series on TV, The Single Guy? Enuff said. starman
How hot is she now? My lord! I'll watch just to see her. Were they trying to kill us with that running around in a bra? Wow.

Like staring into the sun. It's too risky. One peek and you look away. ........... Didn't Elaine say men will watch any show if they think they will get to see breasts?
One peek was enough for me. During the bathroom flood scene, I found the physical comedy strained to the breaking point. Julia was playing Ellie playing Elaine in "The Bus Boy" trying to get the 'brown sweater' guy up and dressed so he wouldn't miss his flight back to Seattle. Too frenetic. Too forced. And none of it made me laugh. Not even a 'ha'.
And then there was that strained meeting with the ex-boyfriend, and I did not enjoy the singing at the end. Truth be told, I flipped over and caught the last minute of "That 70's Show". I was truly disappointed. And what was up with that chin? Looks like she had her face elongated since I last saw her. (What happened to "Face like a frying pan"?)
Really, as someone else mentioned, it's just a countdown to "24".
I think it was Susan talking about a movie George wanted to see.
Dave (not even frontal, sideal.)
I think any sitcom needs to be given a few weeks before we can really say we like it or don't like it. We don't know the super that well, nor the married guy, but I think as we get to know the characters a bit more, then we might like the show better. Or not.
Personally, I liked Ellie, but think it will even get better as the show goes on.

i thought the frying pan remark had to do with her chin being the panhandle. most caricaturists have always drawn her with an elongated chin.

I always thought it was because she has a big round face. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And a giant freak head--the one that sits atop her disproportionately puny body. She's a walking candied apple!
The concept of the show has really has written the writers into a corner. Being in "real time" forces them to write every show which centers around a "time vice" where the entire show has a goal which is retarded along the way by exterior forces. Furthermore, it seems like there cannot be sub-plots either.

Very good point, if they do handle sub-plots in this format, it will have to be done differently.
In the opening scene, they showed her crying and I don't think they address what that was all about. Maybe in the next show they will.
I am certainly willing to give the show time.

Actually, I was trying to recall such nudity in a network _sitcom_ before last night's show. (Obviously, many dramas have shown as much....even more.) Was it a "first"?

And of course I knew about NYPD Blue--a show I don't watch, however.
