[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 355467, member: 27"] I sampled [I]Happily Divorced [/I]entirely because of my affinity for Fran Drescher. I was sort of uncomfortable with the premise, since it mirrored (some would say "milked") her real-life situation with long-time husband Peter Marc Jacobson. Still, some people are just okay with laying it all out there like that. IMO that sort of personal business ought not be aired out in public like that, much less turned into a sitcom. I only watched about three or four episodes before I gave up on it, not because of the discomfort over the premise and its relation to real-life events. It just wasn't terribly funny. The characters (especially the male lead) weren't played strongly enough, even Fran D, who is normally very watchable and charismatic. To me, it felt like they sold the idea thanks to Fran and Marc-Peter's very public break-up, but didn't put a lot of development-thought into what came next. [/QUOTE]
