Modern Day Golden Girls

[tinaolsen-39638 · 9/10 · 12 March 2023]

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 love it.

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.

Love this show

These ladies have so much chemistry together. I'm glad that we have an opportunity to witness this wonderful show especially liked episode 10 where they were stuck in the Bahamas funny funny stuff. Looking forward to more great episodes and season two hopefully. This is the show that I needed being a particular age myself is a refreshing to see. The ladies look beautiful. Their comedic timing is perfect in my opinion. I read a review that said it was over the top but that's what comedy is about. In my opinion, it's just the perfect recipe. Hope people will be able to enjoy this show and support it because it's not being advertised like it should again, hoping for a season two.

A little too over the top!

This strikes me as three aging women who are overacting. Some of the jokes are lazy and not funny. (i.e. Insults about the complaining neighbor after he died.) And the masturbation scene? I don't recall The Golden Girls ever going there. Perhaps that would have worked better after the personalities of the roommates had been better established, but right off the bat? It sets a tone that will turn off some viewers.

Some of the exchanges seem crass and born of ignorance. Act Your Age needs to figure out what audience it wants to play to: This seems aimed at the Maury Povich crowd.

The actors are first-rate, and the show has good bones. Please stop covering them inconsistently with unattractive parts.

Loving it so far

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.

Great show! Give it a try!

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!

Love this show!!

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!!

Funny sometimes, but also corny and inappropriate

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.
