Synopsis

Notes from the Underbelly is an American sitcom that debuted on ABC as a midseason replacement. The series is based upon the novel of the same name by Risa Green, and is produced by Eric and Kim Tannenbaum for Warner Bros. Television. The title is a parody of Dostoevsky's novel Notes from Underground. Originally, it was supposed to debut on October 5, 2006, along with Big Day, but ABC made a last-minute change in its schedule by moving Ugly Betty to Thursday, thus replacing both sitcoms. After numerous scheduling changes prior to the shows premiere, the show premiered Thursday, April 12, 2007 at 10:00PM Eastern/9:00PM Central, and moved to its regular Wednesday timeslot at 8:30PM Eastern/7:30PM Central on April 18. Notes from the Underbelly began its second season on November 26, 2007 in the new timeslot of 9:30PM Eastern/8:30PM Central on Mondays, leading out of fall's second highest rated freshman sitcom, Samantha Who?. On May 13, 2008, ABC opted not to renew the series for a third season. In Russia, all 23 episodes of the series were shown on NTV.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
sugarplumz001 I love this show. I look forward to watching it every week because it is funny and witty. As someone who is just starting on the process, this show really gets the couple dynamics. I love seeing something on the show and saying, oh, that is exactly what just happened. The comedy is classic, Gilmore Girl- esquire in nature. The main characters are very relatable, and I know I have friends like the friends in the show. I haven't seen a show that has this exact focus on the pregnancy, but that's just me. It isn't the kind of show that a Critic would like, but then again I watch TV to relax and unwind rather than treat it like an art form.
j-w-bischke I know little about boobs but I do know that they don't fill up until a few hours after delivery, not in the first six or so weeks. I think it is important that even sitcoms are accurate in what they say and teach. Many people will use such misinformation as truth, never checking for accuracy and will simply accept what they see and hear as truth. I think we need to hold writers accountable for what they present and reject the fallacies. Many people will believe anything they read in a newspaper or see on TV but there is no end of foolishness and error presented in the media. People need to be a bit more questioning in what they see and hear. These last eight lines plus the next are just a way to fill up the message so it will post, I said what I had to say in the first two lines.
Jeff Howard At its best, it is mildly clever. Not funny or entertaining, but clever. At its worst, it is pretentious and canned. A lot of the dialog feels like dialog. People wouldn't talk this way, ever, except if they are a character on a TV show that is killing itself to be cool.Random characters are thrown in to say things that people would never say, so that the characters can chime in with a witty retort. When comedy has to be forced in the first episode, well, you have to ask yourself where it is going to go from there.There are some good actors involved, though some seem out of their league. (I wouldn't name them, that's rude.)It's funny. At the Aspen Comedy festival, I heard the creator of "The Winner" say that everyone seems to think that single-camera shows are automatically cool. I love "The Office" and loved "Arrested Development", and like "My Name is Earl." This show does not compare.Basically, I'll be surprised if this one comes back.
flopcat-1 The series is about a 30-something married couple, Lauren and Andrew, who are expecting their first child and their four friends: Danny and Cooper a single man and woman respectively, and another married couple, Julie and Eric, who are also expecting their first child but are further along in the pregnancy.Aside from exploring the clichés about pregnancy and becoming new parents (and not very well, I might add), the show has nothing to offer. All six characters are superficial, amoral, contemptible people with the possible exception of Andrew. Lauren, who is reluctant to tell her friends of her pregnancy at first, meets Cooper for drinks. Lauren proceeds to throw tequila shots over her shoulder rather than share her good news with Cooper. Finally Cooper catches her in the act, figures out why and shouts accusingly: "You WHORE!! You're pregnant!" The following day, Lauren and Cooper attend Julie's baby shower and Cooper learns that a colleague with whom she had a recent one night stand is married to one of the other attendees. Rather than become appalled from learning this information, she asks Julie how stable her friend's marriage is because she wants to have a relationship with her colleague. Julie replies that the wife is not her friend, just someone from her yoga class (insert sarcasm -- No, she's not Julie's friend, but she's good enough to come to Julie's gift-giving party), and that her marriage is indeed on the rocks, encouraging Cooper to try to break them up. At this point, we turned it off. The characters' morals were incompatible with family life and were offensive. We will not be watching it again.
