My reaction to Larry David in the first 5 minutes was "wow, this guy hates women" only to have Madonna say the same thing 10 minutes later.

Madonna was so much more normal then I expected but then seem to start revving up into her usual self by the 2nd half.

I loved Ricky's reactions because I totally understood how he felt. Isn't this a take-off of a show that started in England or am I wrong about that?

In the end, I never stick it out for the entire hour.

I found Madonna to be more like her 'Truth or Dare' self than I have seen her in awhile. I enjoy Madonna.

Larry shocked me, because of Seinfeld, I expected him to be totally different. Unless he was playing his character.

One of my fav Conan shows is when Ricky was a guest, he is hysterical, not sure why we didnt see it on this show.

This show really has the ICK factor for me. Although I liked Ricky and Madonna. But found the business with the MIL just too over the top into ick-land. Not really enjoying this show, and if something better comes up on another channel in that timeslot I'm outta there.

When is this show even on. I seem to keep missing it. Sounds like I might not be missing much.

I liked Ricky very much, although it seemed he was the only normal guy and everyone else was off their rocker. Again, it was too heavily and choppily edited for me. Host is still way too smarmy. Madonna was out of her element, but seemed to catch on to the schtick halfway through. Larry David tried way too hard to be "funny" and came off as just plain offensive, unlikeable and weird. The first two couples seemed coached/scripted. The psychiatrist-and-his-mama-and-wife piece was just awfully uncomfortable.

I think they're trying for 10 PM time slot adult humor but it's cheap and lame.

I'll give this show one more shot, maybe.

The ep this week was hysterical!!! Cedric, Jason and Martha rocked!!

I think if they said here are some actors acting out a scenerio instead of saying they are real people, I could be wrong but some of these couples seem scripted.

The 3 they had this week were too funny!

I just caught up with this week's episode. I liked it too, Pamy. I thought the panel was a good combo of personalities. Martha Stewart was really funny.

I don't think this show is as good as I thought it would be, just ok.

The host's non-stop, braying laugh would drive you to drink. I've never seen a show nose-dive into total crap like this one has.

Meh, seems it's gone downhill since the stripper pole/dead dog episode. But I did enjoy Cedric, Martha and Jason; thought they balanced each other well enough ("martha stewart's a bada$$" - tooo funny).

I do hope the advice is taken with as much jest as it's given. I mean, sure a man needs to be able to follow his dream, but nothing was mentioned about that man maintaining integrity while pursuing that dream.

i think the show could use a new host, but otherwise i enjoy it. the key is to just to take everything lighthearted and jokingly. ive seen some bad reviews were they seem to take this show seriously, like the panel is really supposed to solve their problems.

That guy that wanted to go on the road as a back-up singer couldn't even sing. He wouldn't have made it through American Idol week one.

I think it'w worth it for these four couples each week to go on a luxury Caribbean cruise.

I for one am surprised that I like this show after the hazing it has received in mainstream media.

Have you noticed most of the couples are from the east coast? I wonder if Jerry went knocking door to door to find these people!

I sure didn't like most of the decisions the ref made last night. If the husband is retired and the wife still works full time, of course he should cook the dinners! The ref said the husband doesn't have to cook the dinners. That's just crazy to me!...LOL

I have been disappointed with the last two shows and its guests, especially Trump, he served not purpose that night, then the next week the guests were so so, with a bit of smut..I am loosing interest fast.

I really enjoy this show, but I put it at the caliber of "America's Funniest Home Videos". I mean I watch and enjoy it, but there really isn't much to go out and have an exciting conversation about.

It depends who is on it. Some are better than others. I think they spend too much time showing the couples and it seems more and more staged.

I ff thru most of the couple stuff.

I could not believe the wife who snored! She insisting he stay in bed with her... it's not that bad she says...??? who is she to judge - that really was incredible and beyond belief that she would expect someone to put up with that. As someone who 'sometimes sleeps' with a snorer and has lost a lot of sleep, I really felt for the husband...
