I only saw about half this show but:

Nicole Sullivan looks terrible as a redhead.
Sophia Vergara still looks hot but looks better as a blonde.
The other chicks were attractive but uninteresting.

OK. I admit it - I watched this. (What the heck - I was bored!)

I'd put it somewhere between a C and a C+.

If this works at all, it works due to (no surprise here) Nicole
Sullivan. She got all the good lines, and the best delivery. O'Grady has
decent timing, but no great lines. Vergara was a stereotype. And Moore
had the misfortune of playing the 'straight man'/naif.

I suppose there's actually potential here. But it's more likely to
degenerate into sitcom cliche...

But awesome as a brunette in a green and black cat suit.

C I didn't find much to laugh at. It'll probably do OK since it's about as
funny as H&F which it follows. People liking H&F will probably like HP. I
won't be watching. Killer Instinct on Fox is much better (at least while it
lasts).

D. Pretty dull--not a single real laugh so far! I agree that
people will probably watch it if they do Hope and Faith (as
I do!) But H&F has some real laughs and lotsa slapstick (the
good Lucille Ball kind though) so the writing on HP has got
to improve--and
fast! ...tonyC

To the contrary!

I most often prefer brunettes and Sofia Vergara
is one of the most beautiful women in the world
as a brunette.

On the other hand, Gail O'Grady is one of the few
blondes that I do find attractive. Too bad "American
Dreams" was cancelled before it got to the heavy
revolutionary and psychedelic late 1960s.

[clip] Sorry, I don't trust TinyURL URLs. lol

Why does ABC still have info about Evan Ellingson and info about
'Complete Savages' on their website?

http://www.wchstv.com/abc/completesavages/evanellingson.shtml

http://abc.go.com/primetime/completesavages/bios/evan_ellingson.html

And typing in "EvanEllingson.com" leads you to the ABC 'Complete
Savages' bio website. I guess Disney owns his own name.
