This show delivered on what it set out to do.

I was cracking up at the jokes and the kids are really talented.

Where did they get these kid actors. Really really good.

I just like vibe of the cast. They are a mixture of good, bad, stupid and funny.

I will watch again in the coming weeks to see if I am pleased with the overall show.

Brad Garrett is still my favorite.

I mean, this is life. Children, emotions, living and child care period.

I was prepared to dislike this show but this cast is great and the writing is great, too. Let's see how season two goes.

I love this show it is so refreshing and cute and the humour are actually decent. It's a shame this show got cancelled had so much potential

I was very shocked by how much I loved this show. It has a GREAT cast, it's funny, sweet, and very relatable! It's just one of those shows that make you laugh while making your heart all happy! I highly recommend!!

Fun and easy going family sitcom. They really should not cancel it after just 2 seasons. I know there are a lot of great shows about zombies and drog cartels, but they just not the same and I don't think that is too strong competition in the family sitcom genre as everything is either concluded or cancelled.

I love this show. I don't know if I enjoy the kids more or the adults but Single Parents is a smart, well written and funny show.

I can appreciate that any new comedy TV series needs a few episodes under their belt to determine if they can sustain a reasonable audience in the ratings game. My initial assessment of Single Parents is that I will give it a few more episodes for two main reasons:

1. The show does not use canned laughter which tells me that the producers are confident in their show and would prefer to rely on the intelligence of their audience who can determine for ourselves if the show is funny and if the story lines are interesting.

2. Although I have only seen the first episode I was quite impressed with how professional all the single parents young children performed. Not only are the children funny, they have good comedic delivery with great facial expressions.

As for all the single parents, the jury is still out on them as we learn what baggage each of them carry which is why they are single parents in the first place.

I give the show a 6 out of 10 rating.

The kind of show you watch when you can't sleep and and then you realize adam brody stars on it so you want to see him and then you realize you have finished the show

Yes the show is a bit cheesy, yes the kids are acting like adults and the adults are acting like kids, and yes some of the kids are waaay too much (Rory! (who writes this stuff?!)) But for what it is, a simple, lighthearted, feelgood sitcom, it's doing fine. Perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon

It might be a cultural difference since I'm from the Netherlands, but I really find this show unwatchable. Extremely superficial, no character development at all and the children are annoyingly smart mouthed. I find the show extremely cringy and not funny.

This is the first new show to make me laugh in a long time!! Don't listen to the people ragging on this show because they mention feminism and *gasp* SINGLE parents!!

Want to like it. Over the top, cringe worthy acting makes it hard to watch. A fabricated diva melt down in a pet store is not entertaining.

I hardly ever watch live tv anymore so this was a surprise when I found it incredibly funny and smart. The mix of characters is great and the way Brad Garret plays a father of 2 adorable little girls is so awesome. The kids aren't over acting and are peppered into each storyline perfectly. I can't say enough about this show. I hope it gets picked up for a second season.

Okay, it's cheesy, and kids don't really talk like that, but it knows this and that makes it fun. It's not laugh out loud, but it's warming, like a bowl of cheesy soup. Me like.

The kids were as funny as the adults. Please bring it back for a season 3. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

I had high hopes for this show based on the cast... But nine minutes and I'm already having a hard time watching it. It's nothing but a bunch of one-liners with a very weak storyline.

I have been binge watching this show and loving every minute i beg of you let us knou hou it ends, we definitly need another season

There are few things I care about less than raising children, and my initial thoughts on Single Parents, which is about only that, is "this is kind of cute and moderately funny with a bland but likable lead so I guess I'll watch another episode and see how I feel."

8 episodes later I'm still watching.

The jokes are often funny. Brad Garrett is great as the opposite of the bland leading guy. The kids are surprisingly neurotic and amusing.

At a certain point I went from, "guess I'll try one more episode" to "guess I'm just gonna keep watching this." It's not the best comedy on TV, but it's much better than it has any right to be, and improves as it goes along, so I'd recommend checking it out.

Why, oh why do people write kids as if they're adults? It's totally unbelievable. Have the writers ever met a child? I don't want to disparage the young actors, they do a good job. It's the writing, the awful, unrealistic, tacky writing. 3/10 for hiring a great cast, shame about the rest.

Loved the show. It was funny and cute. The cast was amazing, Taran's and Leighton's cemistry. And even the youngsters, such talented kids. I am so unbelievably upset that it got cancelled!!!

Especially after that cliffhanger...

I found this series hilarious with crazy but loveable characters....except for one- Rory. This child character is demanding, bossy, dismissive, over the top dramatic, has an ego that knows no limit and all the characters pander to him as if he's being adorable or they're scared of him. This character spoils the series for me unfortunately.

Like others have mentioned, it's like the writers have never met a child. I get they're trying to be funny and all but giving the kids adult personalities makes the show unwatchable. I work with first graders daily and imagining any of them saying a single thing that comes out of these kids' mouths makes me laugh (with ridicule). No child talks or acts like this!!!! They eat their boogers and mess up! I understand the importance of diverse representation but having an extremely flamboyant gay six year old who acts like a caricature should seriously offend LGBT people.
