On paper this seemed like a good idea: a throwback sitcom based on one of the most iconic characters of the last 15 years.
The problem is that all of Jim Parsons' skill gets lost when it is a different actor reading his words. Things get worse when you give us a Goldbergs rip-off without even trying to throw some jokes in.
It didn't have any heart or emotional moments despite there being opportunities to introduce that tone such as the father's firing, the mother's struggles or the sibling rivalry.
I am sure the ratings will be strong, but the episode wasn't.
