Good concept, poorly executed.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Yes, the acting at times was laughable.Yes, the show was not the best out there.And yes, the script too, at times, was just plain lame.BUT.BUT.But it should NOT have been cancelled.I'll never forgive ABC for cancelling this show. *bitter* There were many funny moments per episode, particularly those including Chris or Grandma...The weakest casting choice was the role of Zoey. Chloe's acting as Zoey was terrible. However, it was her fist acting role so she may have gotten better with experience.... *shrug* ANYWAY, POINT IS, this show could have gone to do a LOT better had it not been cancelled.

"Freddie" is a programme that probably should never have been produced. It is poorly written, very unrealistic and worst of all - it's not funny.Freddie Prinze Jr. as the star of the show SHOULD carry its weight but sadly he is not up to it. His performance is forever pushed and unnatural, it's as though he is trying to create a mix of Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer (who both have a natural comedic flair) but ends up failing horribly.The grandma strand is just ridiculous. She speaks Spanish, never uttering a word of English, and yet she understands everything anyone says to her (and also now apparently everyone understands Spanish too). It seems like the writers were trying to mask the shows terrible script with a bit of class - subtitles. However, a stench can only be covered for so long.There is one slight saving grace which makes this show watchable at the very most, Brian Astin Green. This should have been his show. Prinze Jr is not unlikeable but he can't muster the same sort of charisma as his sidekick and that's a problem when a sidekick out-shows the star."Freddie" relies heavily on canned laughter and it's obvious why, this is the unfunniest comedy series of the season.

I must admit, I only started watching this show because of the recognizable members of the cast (Freddie Prinze Jr, Brian Austin Green, Madchen Amick), but I find it to be one of the funniest sitcoms on TV right now. I totally disagree with the comment that it is trying to be like Joey, mostly because whenever I've tried to watch Joey, I find it pretty boring- I usually can't even sit through an episode! Freddie is fresh and funny without being typical. I especially like that the grandmother only speaks in Spanish...there's something so hilarious about comedy through subtitles. Prinze's comic timing is surprisingly wonderful, given some of his romantic comedy bombs in the past (Summer Catch anyone?) and who knew that Brian Austin Green was so funny? The characters in the show are quite entertaining especially Freddie's drunken widow sister-in-law (Amick) and rich, shallow, womanizing best friend (Green). These two are supremely funny when in scenes together. All in all, I'd say it's a great show that's completely worth watching!

I have a different opinion than the one person who has commented.I actually love this show, I think it's hilarious. Yes the humor is a tad offbeat, a little different than you'd expect from sitcoms, which is one of the main reasons why I love it.The premise of the show is a single, young, successful man trying to date and find love while having his family, who all happen to be women, live with him.I love the chemistry that the actors share and I think both Freddie Prinze Jr. and Brian Green do fabulous jobs at playing their roles. I really enjoy the writing and I look forward to seeing Freddie every week. I for one, am glad for the show!
