I only got the "Everybody Hates Chris" DVD sampler out of my EW last week (Nip/Tuck cover). I thought that pilot was okay, but not bust-out funny.

Same here, Patrick...I liked it and will probably watch it when Amazing Race wraps up but I won't be recording it while TAR is ongoing.

I thought the first episode was hilarious personally.
Especially when Chris was fighting the school bully and a half hour later he was STILL fighting him while Paul McCartney's 'Ebony and Ivory' played on the soundtrack. 
I'm in. 
So, did anyone see this, or is this yet another example of a show that I alone liked but no one else could give two shit's about ('Blind Justice' anyone)?

I thought it was pretty good, though I found Rock's narration a bit mellow. I think the best part for me was his dad knowing the cost of everything.

I thought it was pretty funny. There were sure a lot of commercials, though. I gave up on Survivior this year, but my wife didn't, so I'll have to figure out some way to catch it when Alias returns next week and my Tivo is doubled up.

My wife and I really enjoyed it. Some of the best stuff has already been mentioned - the "Ebony and Ivory" fight, Chris' Dad and the cost of everything - another was how he thought he could talk his way out of the fight.
I've watched 3 new shows this year - How I Met Your Mother, My Name is Earl and this. And I thought this was clearly better than the other two.

I enjoyed it although the episode seemed pretty short.
Also, I would have liked it more if I hadn't read a review which quoted about 75% of the good lines.
It was the only TV program I watched yesterday, other than recordings on my DVR (and some of SCTV Volume 4 on DVD).

Not bad. I'll give it another chance. Unfortunately, since I've been watching Veronica Mars all summer, every funny line in this ep. had already been shown in promos.

Is UPN going to re-run it? I forgot to watch it last night.
