I thought this show was pretty good.

I had liked "George & Leo" when it had first started running and I stayed with it to the end. It was always an enjoyable, funny comedy. Bob Newhart and Judd Hirsch are to great actors and to see them on the same comedy together was awesome. The jokes were always funny, and the plots weren't bad at all. CBS bombed out big time for sure. I can't see how this didn't get good ratings.
