I also liked the movie with the same
title (starring Hugh Grant) and the novel they are based on (written
by Nick Hornby). So, maybe it's just my personal taste (which there
is no accounting for).
Yeah, you have to get past all the
Hollywood crap about showing him the "error of his ways"
every week, but the next episode always starts with him reset as a
confirmed bachelor -- as though he never learned last week's lesson.
Better yet, he consistently pulls the boy out from under his
domineering mother's smothering of the week.
I'm glad it's popular enough to be
renewed for a second season. Most shows, and most commercials, treat
men far worse and expect us to like it. Typically, the domineering
mother wins.
This show is a welcome change.
