Extremists from the left and right dislike the show, hence the low user rating. It's a good thing that extremists don't like the show. This show is where America can gather to hear people talk like adults, where people like Steve Rattner brings stats that we can use when speaking/typing to other people. As a liberal, I'm glad that Joe being a conservative decided to leave the Republican party, and have a conversation with the country. The past 7 years have been grating to America, but it looks like extremism from both sides are finally failing. We're tired of being ripped apart as a country. Our communities are tired. We want common-sense legislation from our local leaders, and this show is where America comes to talk. Kudos to the production crew for not bringing on the extremists from either party. There is no Jim Jordan, or Newt on the show. People like them have fractured the country, and almost broke our Republic. Also the show doesn't take a commercial break every 5 minutes like many political shows. I don't watch some television shows due to how many commercial breaks they take. The Morning Joe show has found the center of the country in almost every way.

When this series premiered last year, I watched about 5 minutes, and thought what in the world is this garbage. Then I got online to read the reviews that you need to give the series a chance, and the laugh track was explained. I fell in love with this show! The writing of the intentional cheesy comedy portion of the show actually gets better as the show goes along. I found myself laughing at that part more and more as the show progressed. The one-liners are well written. The tension between the characters was great. Each character in the show has deep problems with their friends and lovers with the exception of Kevin, who sometimes complains about his friends, but loves having them around to boost his ego. The sports themes in the show are also great, because there are grown men who actually act like the characters do in the show. The ending of the show was well-written, because it exposed a darker side of Kevin that we never saw before then. Kudos to AMC for taking this revolutionary chance of producing such a show. I'm interested in learning more about how the show came in to production, who pitched it, etc. And I'll be following the directors and writers to see where they go next.
