Quote

A dog named Honey who runs group therapy sessions to help neighborhood animals manage the neuroses brought on by their owners and each other.

Animated. With Lisa Kudrow, Clea DuVall, Nat Faxon, and Will Forte,

This premise seemed kinda interesting - like Family Guy meets The Secret Life of Pets, but between that C-list cast of people who are, at best, kinda funny on a good day, & the terrible trailer where when they went to pick their "best" jokes to entice people they included "It's not diarrhea, it's excite-arrhea", I think I'll pass on this show.

Holy shit this was bad. I couldn’t last 15 minutes.  

[LexieLily]

I wanted so badly to like this because of Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe!) and an entire show about animals, but, yeah. I gave up and changed the channel after five minutes.

[statsgirl]

There were a few funny moments, such as the hypersexual little dog in the park asking "Want some of this?" but mostly it was pretty awful. It's not therapy and it's not good comedy.

I'll get blasted for this, but I like the show for what it is. Sometimes I just need something mindless to sit back and watch and this provides that. The fact that I'm an animal lover may help, but I think it's a fun watch.
