I was one of about a billion people who went to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and laughed until my sides hurt, so I was really looking forward to seeing how much of a train wreck the sitcom based on the movie would be. I had a strong feeling that they couldn’t capture the magic of the movie and turn it into a funny TV show, and based on the premiere, I was right. The show was so bad that I had to question my memory of the movie being funny. Heather Havrilesky points out a few of the show’s problems in her Salon review, but I think she’s too soft on it over. I don’t think I laughed once throughout.
