I think Wanda At Large is one of the best shows on FOX, next to 24 of course! IT IS SO HILARIOUS!!

I'm a big fan. The best new sitcom of the year.

I have to agree... I wanted to watch this show because of her roles on Curb your Enthusiasm and Inside the NFL... Very Funny!

I've loved Wanda since her standup days, and the show is great. It mirrors her comedic tone perfectly, and is well executed.

Yeah, I've watched all the episodes of this so far. It's kinda overly sitcom-y, but Wanda Sykes is just so funny. I really loved her on Inside the NFL last season. Phil Morris (Seinfeld's "Jackie Chiles") is also very good. I hope this show has some time to grow and develop and doesn't get canceled anytime soon.

I'd agree with the comment about it being a little too sitcom-y, but the intro every week when she does her TV segment has been hilarious. Loved the gun ownership one the other week.

Those segments make the show - the rest is a little blah, except for the occasional zinger.

And can anyone explain the reason for the differing hairstyles in the opening credits versus the show? I'm not saying that she needs to look identical, but I could almost imagine the network execs deciding Wanda looked a little too 'urban' in the credits, and so had her straighten her hair for the show.

Whoa. Couldn't disagree more. I had high hopes for this show. I like Wanda Sykes, and one of the writers (Sue Murphy) is a semi-regular guest on a morning radio show I listen to and a stand-up comic that I've had the pleasure of seeing. But this show stinks. I watched the first 20 minutes of the first episode, and couldn't possibly watch the rest. The SP died right there, and I deleted the second episode from "Now Playing" without a look. Maybe I'll give this one another look at some point, but I doubt it.

IMO, the show has been getting progressively better since the first (pilot?) episode. I didn't really like the first ep either, but I've stuck with it the last few weeks. What I see in this show is that it has the potential to be a very good sitcom, but it's not there yet. The talent is there, and the premise is good, so I'm hoping it will get better as time goes on.
