if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kelsey Grammar is one of my favorite TV actors. Frasier is one of my favorite shows of all time. Also I liked Back to You, the cast on that show was amazing. Now on to his most recent show, Hank...Hank isn't the greatest sitcom, but it's not the worst either. It has a familiar formula that several other sitcoms have, yet it is the simplest form. At first I didn't like it. But after seeing the Thanksgiving episode I actually have hope for the show. It was a cliché Thanksgiving Episode where wacky things happen to the turkey and the rest of the dinner, but it was actually pretty good. After the last episode I was so close to removing Hank from my DVR schedule, but I didn't and I'm happy I didn't.There's one last thing I found. When watching Hank and Cougertown together I realize that Hank counterbalances the zany humor of Cougartown.

First, you have to give credit to Kelsey Grammar for getting in shape for his new series - he is sporting the physique of an Olympic gymnast! Now THAT is showing dedication to your profession. His acting chops are as sharp as ever - but people are going to be looking for FRASIER at every turn and how can anyone be expected to live up to that? It may not even be humanly possible. The problem is that Kelsey still LOOKS almost exactly like Frasier - so you constantly find yourself expecting a Frasier line to come out of him. Here's what they need to do to parry the FRASIER curse: simply give Kelsey a mustache -- or maybe even a beard. He looked great with facial hair in the costume party episode that just aired in syndication. Are you listening, producers of HANK? It could turn out to be a show saver. This is the best way to allow the nega-talented Kelsey the fresh start he so richly deserves. Another thing: the Grady character needs more dimensionality - as soon as he enters we are totally prepared for the mean-spirited sarcasm. Way too predictable - and not really that funny. Everything else on the show is terrific!

This show has been receiving a lot of unfair negative reviews. It's really a shame because it's definitely not as bad as most viewers and critics say it is. It's not hilarious, but, give it a chance because it is getting funnier every episode!Hank stars the very talented Kelsey Grammar as Hank Pryor, a former CEO of a sporting goods company. When the business went under, Hank obviously lost his job, and his luxurious lifestyle! He now has to move back to his hometown in Virginia and get used to living the normal lifestyle. He has a wife named Tilly (Melinda McGraw) and two kids, Maddie (Jordan Hinson) and Henry (Nathan Gamble). The show has the typical stereotypes of the hard-to-handle teenage daughter and the kinda dorky little son. The writing is not that great most of the time, but if they improve it and the cast starts getting better chemistry, it is going to be an awesome show! It is starting to show improvement as the last episode was very funny! Plus, nothing with Kelsey Grammar can be that bad! ABC will be making a big mistake if they cancel this! It's only 4 episodes in! Give it a chance! It has to get in a groove and for most shows that takes longer than 4 episodes! This is a good, clean show and deserves to be treated fairly! Most viewers and critics are raving about Modern Family but I think that this show is better! It's not hilarious, but it gives some laughs and, if given time, will get hilarious!

Don't get your expectations high but it's nice to have Kelsey Grammar back in a regular sitcom. Dr. Frasier Crane is no longer the character but he plays Hank Pryor, a former CEO from New York City, who returns home to small-town Virginia with his wife played by Melinda McGraw who could hold her own against Grammar's television status. They have two children-a teenage daughter Maddie and a pre-teen son, Henry. For Hank, he has come from a lavish style of living on Park Avenue to a house that needs repairs and to rebuild his life which includes rebuilding his relationship with his children. Hank treats his family as the Pryor Corporation but that has changed. This show might relate to some business executives who found themselves at the bottom and starting all over again in life. I think the show needs a chance to grow and evolve. Tim Koepchner plays, Grady, his blue-collar brother-in-law does add some potential humor. I think it's not a bad show and needs to work but it needs time. Even Frasier needed time to grow and succeed in primetime.
