I have watched Go On. At first I was resistant, but the episode about "She Ded" vanity plates had me in stitches. Not every episode is funny, but every time I have watched they have hit on a valid "issue", that I could relate to. Right now, I'll take every bit of help and humor I can get, so I'll probably keep watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599655836040142750.post-10196315935293100022012-10-05T12:52:09.828-04:002012-10-05T12:52:09.828-04:00Hi Karen and Lori,

Whether it's funny... well, that will probably decide it's future. It DID get a full season order already though.<br />X<br />Supa<br />Supa Dupa Freshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659738264922395349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599655836040142750.post-12033729367238349332012-10-04T11:43:37.330-04:002012-10-04T11:43:37.330-04:00I am so happy that you took the time to write a th...I am so happy that you took the time to write a thoughtful commentary on this show. I was hesitant to watch it because of the subject matter -- thinking it would hit too close to home; but because I adored MP's Chandler Bing and Friends I decided to give it a go. <br /><br />I think they water down the topic of loss by including all sorts of loss -- must have been a network directive to try to keep it a comedy. I understand it's all about the ratings. <br /><br />Personally, I don't find it particularly funny. I watch more out of curiosity to see if they "get it right" (IMHO, like Karen). I find that they are doing a decent job.<br /><br />I will continue to watch with an open mind.<br /><br />p.s. I was part of an in person support group -- it was NOTHING like this, lots and lots of tears and very very little laughter but I suspect it's because we were all freshly widowed and numb.

Whenever I think Go On is going off the rails or just getting things <i>wrong</i>, it switches direction and gets things right (well, my perception of "right" and "wrong," anyway). Some things are grating on me (Mr. K, Mr. K, did I mention Mr. K?). But all in all, I like it.<br /><br />(Caveats: I've never belonged to an in-person support group, I don't seem to do well with online ones much either, and I'm almost 28 months "out." So that for that.)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154896689834205838noreply@blogger.com
