Not Dead Yet - TV Review (ABC)

[@whitneyfan9019]

This show is based on the book called Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up. Which was a good book. I think this is a cute show but the writing needs some work, This show has a great concept and talented cast. It needs to find its footing, and like you said I think given what it does have going for it, it deserves the chance to get viewers invested in the characters, especially the main character. It needs to find that balance between drama and "laugh out loud" comedy. I love the relationship between Gina(Nell) and Cricket(Angela Gibbs who is Marla Gibbs daughter) On a side note I wish they would bring Martin Mull over to the conners to guest star as Leon again. That would be amazing.

You've always got the info. I had no idea that was Marla Gibbs' daughter! Huge Jeffersons fan here (227 too). I really hope it does find its footing like you said because the cast IS extremely likable and the number of good sitcoms on network TV are dwindling by the season so I'd love seeing this one succeed. And yes more Martin Mull on any show is a recipe for success! Thanks for watching :)
