Back To You will have you in stitches. It's such a brilliant, sharp and quick witted script and the casting couldn't be more perfect. The chemistry between Kelsey and Patricia is fantastic. Each episode I've seen, I laugh almost the whole way through. Fred Ward is also in this and he is great in anything he stars in.
Kelsey Grammer plays Chuck Darling who is forced to return to his old TV station in Pittsburgh, where he discovers that he and his co-anchor (Kelly Carr) had a child together. It's made all the more funny because they 'can't stand each other' although you know that deep down, they'd jump at the chance to be together and rekindle what took place years back.
The best episode (in my opinion) is A Night Of Possibilities where the staff car pool to work (Fred Ward driving is hillarious) and Chuck wants to dine by himself and see where the night takes him, yet Ryan wants to join him.
I really love this new sitcom. It's a fresh show with terrific characters and a smart and funny script. I can only hope there are some Emmy nods here because I feel they are truly deserved. Treat yourself to this when it eventually comes out. It will be so worth it.

This show was fantastic from start to finish, even despite the writers strike! The pilot was one of the best pilots I've ever seen, the actors superb, the situation had years of exploration and story to go. It was funny, clever, charged with great character (and actor) chemistry! The best sitcom I have seen in years and I hope someone rethinks things and gives this show a well-deserved second season!!! My favorite show of 2007-2008!

Hello,Truly fun situation comedy to watch. I love that it's getting better with each episode. The fact that FOX didn't renew for another season kinda makes me wonder if "Back to You" is simply getting sold to the highest bidder. Still I worry Mr Lloyd might not get the overwhelming credit he is owed. Wings,Frasier, and now Back to you...All masterpieces of this screenwriter/producer...I am grateful!UPDATE now the season one is available. It has three additional, never before aired episodes. Sadly it the closest we can ever hope to seeing this sitcom returning to the TV screen.

I now have a new favorite. Fish Story was hilarious. Gary creshishsishki (inside joke) totally makes the show. The timing on his one liners is perfect. When is season 2 going to start?

This show is one of the funniest shows out there. Great comedians and a great concept. Loved it!

This is truly a fantastic show! Patty Heaton and Kelsey Grammar have such great chemistry, and work well with the rest of the talented cast! Back to You is truly a refreshing show that will keep you laughing for hours!!! I hope the bring it back!!! :)

This was one of the funniest new shows that came out of last year's lackluster season. Sharp, quick-witted one liners and the chemistry between Heaton and Grammar was undeniable. This show was destined to become a comic classic. And then it's cancelled? Are you kidding me? Who do we write to so we can see this show get back on the air? It was GREAT. I mean, it was laugh out loud funny. I don't understand Hollywood and maybe I'm not supposed to, but they let a great one get away. Good job, boneheads. All the stupid reality shows out there up to and including Paris Hilton's idiotic BFF and a show like "Back to You" is sent packing? What are you guys smoking out there in LA? Seriously. Bring this show back and prove you got some semblance to taste left.

Watching the 16 hilarious episodes of Back To You Back to You - Season 1 is not only entertaining and invigorating but a warm and poignant reminder of what was lost when FOX canceled the show after only one season. The three unaired episodes alone are worth the price. Patricia Heaton is gorgeous, alluring and brilliantly funny, as always. Her skills as a superb, highly professional actress render her in command of every scene, literally at the wink of an eye. Kelsey Grammer is at his alternating smarmy and heartwarming best. The writing evolves from the early episode one liners as characters are established to the wonderful interplay of a beautifully cast ensemble with the potential to rival the Barone clan in Everyone Loves Raymond, two of whose veterans reappear here. In the last couple broadcast episodes the writers hit their stride with the arrival of a hip, trendy, ambitious, disingenuous new station manager, a Eurasian woman who was, I thought, a scream. There was so much potential. But there is a lot of fun left behind, even though only 16 episodes of it.

It is a shame that this wonderfully funny sitcom did not make it. Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton are at their best in this show and have a great chemistry. The supporting cast is also quite funny. Fox should have nutured this show more. It would have had a great hit on its hands.

No reason this show should have been cancelled but if you know Fox then you know to never get attached to a Fox show that isn't animated b/c if it isnt an immediate #1 hit its getting cancelled. So just like Arrested Development and a laundry list of other great shows Fox never gave a chance this gem of a series was shown the door just as it was getting good.
