I am loving this show so so much seeing all the lady's I grew up with in the 90s with.
But dam the daughter and sons story lines are so annoying and taking away from the otherwise amazing show with just the moms. The kids don't need a storyline they are there ok yes you told us now get them the hell out of the show they are dragging the show down. The story they have about the kids I don't care at all it's such crappy acting and they don't work well together so please in the 2nd season get rid of the kids and just stick with the mom roomies the 3 women can definitely hold the show all on there own. I'm sure a lot more people agree with me.

The show is phenomenal we get to see a lot of the amazing actresses from our past they look absolutely beautiful and outstanding. But the only thing that doesn't make sense to me in the show is the children's storyline I feel that the women in the show can hold their own without the kids having to play a part in it. Their storyline is just ridiculous and Overplayed they're not needed. It's not that I have anything against the children being played in the showBut I just feel that they bring down the show with their odd storyline. But I love the women they are doing there thing. Act Your Age!!!!

This show has a classic sitcom format we don't see a lot of these days, and an interesting "golden girls" like premise. Yvette and Kym's characters are really believable and a treat, Tisha's leans a little too into tropes but is key to pushing Yvette's character out of her comfort zone. I wish they let her feel a little more real. I am also not so sure about the side stories with their kids, though as moms I understand why they are part of the show. Just maybe next season have a little less of them and a little more of the three main characters (and let Tisha's character feel a little more authentic). An easy watch.

Act your age is the modern day golden girls. Three woman in their 50's living together that in a lot of ways are completely different from one another. The sweet Yvette Nicole Brown, the wild Tisha Campbell, and the sharp Kym Whitley join forces to star in this unforgettable, hilarious, warm, family comedy. This show demonstrates the perfect blend of comedy, drama, and heart. The comedy element makes me smile and laugh every time.
There aren't many multi-cam TV shows produced these days that will stand the test of time but I think this one will. The episodes so far have been very well written and so funny. I'm looking forward to what's to come.
Hoping Bounce TV will renew this show.

I really love this show! So funny and the ladies really work well together. This is a modern version of The Golden Girls without the ladies being as old as Blanche, Dorothy, and Rose.
I must admit that watching episode one I felt a tad indifferent about it, but as the show progressed it really came together. I think it was that I never saw these ladies playing an "old" role. But eventually i got over it and was able to enjoy this show.
It doesn't give cheap and the set looks great. I looked forward to seeing a new episode every week. I can see this becoming a comfort show for me that I could constantly rewatch. LOVE THIS SHOW!

I am loving this story of three vibrant, energetic middle aged African American women who are not trying to be younger than they are, but are living life on their terms despite all the ups and downs. The comedic timing between the three actors, Tisha Campbell, Nicole Brown and Kim Whitley is flawless. The chemistry between them is undeniable. Each character has her own distinct personality. Keisha (Tisha Campbell) is a free-spirit. Angela (Yvette Nicole Brown) is kind of straight-laced. Bernadette (Kym Whitley) is ambitious. They all live together in Bernadette's high-rise apartment where Bernadette owns the building. This show, so far, is funny and entertaining. Keep up the good work.

I was so excited when I saw this show and after watching ever episode, I love the idea of these great black actresses doing their thing, especially Tisha Campbell BUT the writing needs some serious overhaul and get rid of the kids. Their story line is ridiculous and redundant and does not resemble anything real. Please focus of the women and stop trying to capture an audience that is not in the demographic. These three beautiful black queens are more than enough. STRAIGHT UP.... the kids can be cut out and more responsible Adulting is my preference. Hope that the next season is more relatable to the demographic that actually watched the first season.
I already love the stars of this show. There are some points where it looks like the ladies should be given more input in the writing & lines but other than that I love it. Tisha Campbell is hilarious in everything she does but i feel like she has finally been let loose on this show. Her expressions & comedic timing is priceless I hope this show will last until they reach the age of the golden girls. This is a winner. (Note to writers, many of us can tell when the line delivered was probably not written by a woman, give them more input & this will be a top rated show. All of the actors are so talented, there is no reason to be overly silly which is turning some of my friends off. Me I personally enjoyed every episode but I need you to hang in there. I need more of this of this show for years to come.

Wow, I was surprised that this '90 style women's sitcom was funny (though cheesy at times) and was able to talk about serious topics without losing the comedy. Great to see so many beautiful, talented sista's leading a show without a dominant masculinity present. Was surprised by Tisha Campbell characters. It was not like her usually roles she's played in the past, but she played that character well. Hoping for a season 2!
***Netflix Pick This Show Up***
Could have did without the children storyline; though it did bring up some Gen Z topics. It's easy to binge. All these ladies are comedic power houses.

I've been watching this show for the last month. At first I enjoyed it, but my opinion of it has kind of changed. The cast is legendary, that's for sure. Keisha (Tisha Campbell), Angela (Yvette Brown), and Bernadette (Kym Whitley) share an apartment together. The storyline of the episodes are centered around their differing personalities and the challenges of getting older. I'm not in the same stage of life as they are, but as an African American woman, it's nice to see a black version of the Golden Girls. That along with Sex and the City are two female shows I can't relate to. Black people's representation in the media has historically been, and still is, negative, so the concept itself is refreshing.
With that being said: yes, there are funny moments. However, the writing could use some work. The cringey one-liners and fake laugh track become old really quick. Plus the jokes are often bawdy. Especially from Keisha. She talks nonsense and it stops being funny after a while. A woman in her 50s who's still promiscuous and getting smashed wouldn't have friends in real life. What other 50-something wants to hang around another person of the same age group who's stuck in their 20s? To tell the truth, I've never actually laughed watching this... I chuckled. I might've had a semi-laugh a couple of times. I don't think black TV shows will ever be hilarious like Sanford and Son. I can watch reruns of that to no end. The jokes weren't always the cleanest, but the characters never talked about "riding" people or any of that junk. And the whole on again/off again romance between Angela's daughter and Bernadette's son is getting sappy. I wish they would just decide whether or not they want to take their friendship to the next level!
Also, the previous episode was boring and weird. Nothing else happens besides them playing spades. Exciting much? Wait, it gets even more ridiculous. They make a tournament out of it by inviting other people in their building, and everybody plays dirty. Bernadette invites her son's ex-girlfriend to play, knowing Angela's daughter would be there. That was a strategy to throw off both of them. And then Keisha cheats. They were all just being immature and stupid. I know it's only television, but when characters are petty in a sitcom, that reminds me of people I've encountered, and that's when it ceases to be funny. I hope that was just a one time thing and the next episodes are better. Because that makes me wonder who this show is geared towards. The ghetto demographic perhaps? My IQ isn't exceptionally high, but I need more happening in a comedy show besides people turning on each other during a card game. Act Your Age is decent overall, but I can see it going downhill like many other sitcoms.

Being a lady in my prime at 57, I relate so much to this well put together comedy! Having "grown up" with these actresses over the years, it's quite refreshing to see these women at the top of their game! And even though people want to compare ACT YOUR AGE to the classic Golden Girls, I urge viewers to watch ACT YOUR AGE for it's own unique type of comedy! I rarely laugh out loud at typical sitcoms but this one right here.... HITS HOME!! Did anyone catch Tisha Campbell's (Keisha) Easter egg from SCHOOL DAZE? I do hope BOUNCE TV keeps ACT YOUR AGE in rotation for many seasons to come! BRAVA ladies!!
I just think that the kids should go ahead and hook up season 2 in the middle.. in the beginning of season 2 stop having Jacob chase after Olivia. Season 2 let Tia be messy behind Jacob back. Let the lies begin.. Like yall did at the end of season one. Like let TIA kiss Jacob in front of Liv. Make it uncomfortable. A few walk in scenes.. seeing things that would break a person heart and make them realize they can't live without that person. And as far as the roommates go Angela, Bernadette and Kiesha they are amazing!! I just wish yall would let us meet one of Kieshas exs. 😩DONT AXE THE KIDS!!
